Despite scoring only 25, LKK's skipper looked in good form during his 14-ball stay at the crease in his side's tournament opener. He could be expected to deliver in this game.

Probable Best Bowler: Gurjapneet Singh

The left-arm medium pacer impressed the other day with a two-wicket haul to his name. Gurjapneet has every chance of being the standout bowler.
