New Delhi: Lucknow Supergiants captain Rishabh Pant Won the toss and decided to bowl first against Punjab Kings at the Maharaja Yadavendra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Milanpur in New Chandigarh on Sunday.In a major change for LSG, Manimaran Siddharth came in and Digvesh Rathi dropped out of the playing XI. While Punjab Kings did not make any changes in their team.“We’re going to bowl first. Coming here, we want them to make totals for us. They’ve been one of the best teams in the tournament, but at the same time, it gives us the freedom to play with them more freely. In general, I think, playing for 220 is better than playing for 200 sometimes. (Manimaran) Siddharth arrives and (Dagvesh) Rathi misses. (And is that elbow right?) Much better,” Pant said at the toss.While PBKS captain Iyer said, “I feel it’s a big challenge for us and going into the tournament, at least we’ll have a good idea of how to go in the first innings, because we haven’t batted first so far. So it’s a big challenge for the boys as well and as a collective team effort, it’s going to be a big challenge, (yes, improving in all-round areas). We’ve played a lot of matches in the tournament, but so far There is one moment that we have not fulfilled. So it’s important that this game is one where we all come together, see that we put our best foot forward and get that comprehensive win that I mentioned. We are going with the same team.” Teams:Lucknow Supergiants (Playing XI): Aiden Markram, Mitchell Marsh, Rishabh Pant (W/C), Nicholas Pooran, Ayush Baduni, Mukul Choudhary, Mohammad Shami, Aveesh Khan, Prince Yadav, Manimaran Siddharth, Mohsin KhanPunjab Kings (Playing XI): Prabhasmaran Singh (W), Priyansh Arya, Cooper Connolly, Shreyas Iyer (C), Shashank Singh, Nihal Vadhira, Marcus Stoinis, Marco Johnson, Xavier Bartlett, Arsdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal Impact Substitutes for Both Teams:Lucknow Supergiants Impact Subs: Abdul Samad, Digvesh Singh Rathi, Matthew Bretzke, Mayank Yadav, Himmat SinghBelow are the effects of Punjab Kings: Vijay Kumar Vishak, Harpreet Brar, Suresh Shidge, Yash Thakur, Vishnu Vinod
