Punjab Kings won the toss and elected to field first in the second qualifier against the Mumbai Indians at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday, June 1. With the rain and overcast weather around, Punjab Kings skipper Shreyas Iyer didn’t hesitate to field first as he reckoned that the pitch was under the covers for the last 24 hours and hence, the moisture might help the bowlers up front. Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya also wanted to bowl first, but took confidence from how they batted first in the eliminator to replicate the same.
