Shahrukh Khan joins party as he welcomes Jagdeesha Suchith with a towering six over his head. Both the batters then rotate the strike, before Livingstone slams him for yet another six in the final ball of the over. 16 runs come off it as PBKS edge pass the 100-run mark. PBKS: 104/4 (13 overs)

Prabhsimran also opens his account with a single as six runs come off the over. PBKS: 6/0 (1 over)

After smashing Bhuvneshwar for a four over the mid-wicket region, Shikhar Dhawan charges down the track but gets an inside edge, which hits his thigh. He looks in pain as physio are out. 

Shikhar Dhawan and Prabhsimran Singh walk out in the middle to kick-off the proceedings. Bhuvneshwar Kumar will lead the attack for SRH. 

Shikhar Dhawan - “We are performing well without depending on individuals - need to continue playing well as a unit, the bowling can get better, we're working on it. The team is new and we're taking time to settle. The toss could be an advantage, it's a bit sticky, the ball could turn, but if we put up a good total, we can put them under pressure.”

Kane Williamson - “We will bowl first. It's something we've done recently, we need to just play according to our plans. The wicket will hold up for the entire game, just need to make those small improvements, the signs are good, and need to adjust to the conditions early.”

Punjab Kings: Shikhar Dhawan(c), Jonny Bairstow, Prabhsimran Singh, Liam Livingstone, Jitesh Sharma(w), Shahrukh Khan, Odean Smith, Kagiso Rabada, Rahul Chahar, Vaibhav Arora, Arshdeep Singh

Sunrisers Hyderabad: Abhishek Sharma, Kane Williamson(c), Rahul Tripathi, Aiden Markram, Nicholas Pooran(w), Shashank Singh, Jagadeesha Suchith, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Marco Jansen, Umran Malik, T Natarajan

Shikhar Dhawan confirms that Mayank Agarwal had injured his toe while practicing on Saturday. He assures the fan that the opener batter will be fit for the next encounter. Prabhsimran Singh comes in place of Mayank.  

In an unexpected turn of events, Shikhar Dhawan is walking in for the toss. Meanwhile, Kane Williamson wins the toss and he opts to bowl first. 

“It's hot and humid today - it's a used pitch, it's dry, there are tufts of grass. Pace could be the key for the fast bowlers. The captain winning the toss might opt to bat first on this track.”
