"We are going to bowl first. I let the action talk more than words. I would just give them some sort of motivation and it is then their job to go and execute. Jamieson and Vyshak come in. It (the venue) is preferably suitable for both sides because of the conditions; wind factor and size of the ground. No you can't just take it as just another day, you have to keep upgrading your game and mindset, I am someone who thrives under pressure, you have to put your best foot forward and at the same time there is no scope for errors," said Shreyas Iyer at the toss.

Mumbai Indians, meanwhile, included Ashwani Kumar in their starting XI."Looks like a good track, let's see. It is a good toss to lose; we were not sure what to do. We didn't mind either batting or bowling. We will put some runs and defend it. For us to be in this situation lot of results had to go our way, five days back we were not in this position and today we are, but being honest last 8-9 games have been like knockouts for us. Just one change - Ashwani Kumar comes in," MI skipper Hardik Pandya said.

Impact Substitutes:Punjab Kings: Prabhsimran Singh, Praveen Dubey, Suryansh Shedge, Xavier Bartlet, Musheer KhanMumbai Indians: Karn Sharma, Corbin Bosch, Raj Bawa, Ashwani Kumar, Satyanarayana Raju
