So Hyderabad going with an unchanged team and it will be interesting to see if they will make any changes to the batting order, with the likes of Aiden Markram more than capable to bat at the top of the order. However, they need to bowl well first and they will be banking on Bhuvneshwar Kumar to make early inroads with the new ball. Lucknow, on the other hand, now looks even stronger unit with Jason Holder in the lineup and let's see how he goes about his business against his former team.

KL Rahul, the skipper of Lucknow, says that they would have wanted to bowl first as that has been the trend. Informs that they have once change willth Holder coming in for Dushmantha Chameera. Tells that with the new ball one always tries to hit that good area but is is about assessing the conditions and executing in the middle. Adds that Jason Holder is one of the top all-rounder and he strengthens both batting and bowling. Says that the win in the last game was a confidence booster and adds that the performance of the lower- middle order has given them confidence to go hard at top. Applauds Ayush Badoni for his performance and says that it is good to see him perform under pressure and stay calm in those situations and hopes that he can continue the same form. 

Kane Williamson, the skipper of Hyderabad, says they will have a bowl first. He adds that they take conditions into account while selecting the playing XI and the surface seems pretty similar to the ones that have been used and there's potential due on the cards as well. Mentions that the game is about fine margins and hopes to put on a better performance tonight. Informs that there are no changes to the playing XI and gives an update about his elbow and says that it is better now.
