While Sunrisers Hyderabad are third on the points table, Gujarat Titans are one place above them at second. Both the teams maintained their playing eleven with 14 points each in 11 matches.“We’re going to bowl first. We haven’t played here before, so look at it with the ball first, and then whatever we need to chase, hopefully it’ll be a little bit easier later on. (The effect of the data suggests that teams batting first win more games on this pitch) a little bit. I mean, there’s always different variables and I think they’ve won two balls where they’ve won.” Look at everything but it’s an important game and it’s an intense time to toss.“(Feeling like a knockout before a knockout on this game) I mean, no, not really. I think we’ve earned the right to give ourselves some chances and make the final. So we’ve got three games left. We haven’t played for a while. (Highest record holder over SRH on GT) Yes, Abhi (Abhishek Sharma) mentioned it in the change room. I said absolutely, nothing to lose now. All the pressure is on them. No change,” he said.During the toss, Gill said that GT also wanted to bowl first.“(On GT’s superior record over SRH) I mean, we’re going to see about that. You know, I’m not about stats and all that stuff, but we wanted to bowl first. But it looks like a better wicket than the last two matches on that particular wicket,” Gill said during the toss.“(On the team mentality) it’s all about consistency, being consistent with your thought process, being as consistent as possible with your actions. And it’s the tail end of the tournament and it’s so important to be able to bring your A-game and give it your best.” We are going with the same team,” he added.Teams:Gujarat Titans: Shibman Gill (captain), B Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler (wicket), Washington Sundar, Jason Holder, Nishant Sindhu, Rahul Teotia, Rashid Khan, Arshad Khan, Kagiso Rabada, Mohammad Siraj.Sunrisers Hyderabad: Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan (wicket), Henrik Klaasen, Nitish Kumar Reddy, R Simran, Salil Arora, Pete Cummins (captain), Shivang Kumar, Harsh Dubey, Ishan Malinga, Saqib Hussain.
