On the other hand, LSG are back after a week-long break from the competition, and are at sixth place with five wins from 11 matches. A win for them will keep their playoffs hopes alive.
After winning the toss, LSG skipper Rishabh Pant said the ball might stop a bit early on, which is why he opted to bowl first. LSG have also kept leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi in the impact substitutes list, which tells that the side feels the pitch would aid seamers. With inclement weather in the city for last two days, LSG have given a cap to left-arm pacer Akash Singh.
