“We’ll bowl. We’ve talked about a few things, haven’t had a complete game yet. Want to do the basics well,” Pat Cummins said at the toss.

“It’s about giving yourself the chance, everyone’s a match-winner. We bat very deep. The support has been amazing, probably haven’t had the results we wanted but the crowd has been amazing. Buzzing around in the field, that’s one thing we can judge ourselves on.”

Delhi Capitals captain Axar Patel also said they would have batted as well.

“Would’ve fielded first as well, looks like a good wicket and it shouldn’t change much,” he said.

“Will look to get a good score and restrict them. The last phase is here and these are must-win games.

“We’ve tried to keep the environment light, we weren’t thinking about these things at the start of the tournament and we played well, want to go into these games with the same mindset and not let the situation pressure us.

“We’ve had different players contribute, we haven’t been dependant on one player. It’s important to continue the momentum. We want to have close games, even if we lose, we don’t want to lose by big margins. Same combination, three seamers and three spinners.”
