The Super Giants entered the clash with just one change, where George Linde came in place of Manimaran Siddharth.
After winning the toss, LSG`s skipper Pant said, “We`re gonna bowl first, we want to again put the opposition in the back first and just find the answer as a batting group. Just one change, Linde comes in for Siddharth. Definitely we are working towards it, when there are lots of leaders in the family, you have to find a way and we are pretty close to finding ways and we gotta just stick together, stay tight, because we know that we can turn around the season from here and I`m pretty confident to make it happen. See definitely any kind of confidence is definitely needed and we`ll take that one too”.
