Delhi Capitals won the toss and chose to field to field. At the toss, Pant said, “We’ll bowl first. It’s an unknown wicket, our batting is strong and we would want to chase, there could be some dew in the second innings as well. We’ll have to play good cricket, just taking one match at a time. Death bowling has been a little concern, but at the same time, the bowlers are getting better with every match. We’re looking at gaining some momentum. We’re playing almost the same team – David Warner is sitting out, Sumit Kumar is back.”
