TOSS - DC
Delhi Capitals wins the toss and opts to bowl.
Rishabh Pant: We’ll bowl first. The wicket looks fine and we want to use it. There might be some dew in the 2nd innings. Feels good to play 100 matches for the same franchise but every game is important for me. Most concerns are regarding injury which you can’t control. Ishant hasn’t recovered, Shai Hope has a back spasm. Anrich Nortje and Mukesh Kumar come in.
Sanju Samson: We would have bowled first, dew could come in the second innings. All the 10 teams are geared up and prepared well, we just need to follow the process and not think too much, then we will be fine. Same team for us.
