Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Kane Williamson won the toss and opted to bowl first against Delhi Capitals in Brabourne Stadium at Mumbai.
For SRH, Sean Abbott, Shreyas Gopal and Kartik Tyagi are making their debut and T Natarajan, Washington Sundar are injured in the SRH camp while Marco Jansen misses out.
For DC, there are 4 changes with Prithvi Shaw, Axar Patel, Chetan Sakariya and Mustafizur miss out while Anrich Nortje, Ripal Patel, Mandeep Singh and Khaleel Ahmed come in.
The game also pits David Warner against his old employers Sunrisers Hyderabad, with whom things ended in a bitter manner. He had been there since 2014.
“We will bowl first, dew could be coming later on, something early in the surface and we'll look to exploit it. We've taken positives from the losses and moved on, looking to come back well today. Three changes for us. They're excited to get an opportunity, and have worked hard at the nets. There is a lot to play for in every game and every team, looking to make those small improvements,” Kane Williamson said at the toss.
“We're happy to bat first, nothing much changes for us - we have 4 changes. Shaw, Axar, Mustafizur and Sakariya aren't playing. Nortje, Mandeep, Ripal Patel and Khaleel are in - some are forced changes due to injuries particularly Axar Patel, and few are because of the wicket. There is nothing much to talk, you can only learn from your mistakes and keep improving,” Rishabh Pant said.
