As Punjab Kings' head coach Ricky Ponting said in the dressing room meet after defeating Mumbai Indians, the real "serious phase" of the league starts today. Mullanpur, Chandigarh's new spectacular Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium. For the Qualifier 1, Punjab Kings meet Royal Challengers Bengaluru. While Punjab sealed the top position after defeating Mumbai Indians, RCB raced to number 2, after a spectacular run chase against Lucknow Super Giants. RCB won the toss and decided to bowl first. Meanwhile, Rajat Patidar is back at the helm as the captain and informed that Jos Hazlewood is back in the XI. Speaking about PBKS, Shreyas Iyer said with a smile that he was looking to bowl first but is handy to bat first. For Punjab. Marco Jansen is back for his national duties and Azmatullah Omarzai will be playing place. Here's what the captains said at the toss: Rajat Patidar: We will bowl first. Wicket looks very hard, decent covering of grass and will try to maximise the first few overs. Everyone gave more than 100 percent in the last game, Jitesh Salt and Kohli they were tremendous. One change for us. Hazlewood comes in place of Thushara. Shreyas Iyer: Would have bowled first as well. If you look at the record here, teams batting first have done well, so I am optimistic. They (the crowd) have been tremendous and you need such kind of vibration when you enter the ground and it gives us a lot of energy as well. The way they (openers) have been showing the fearless approach and the attitude has been brilliant. Marco goes out and Azmatullah comes in for him.
