Rising Pune Supergiants have won the toss and chose to field

Zaheer: I didn't think about the rain for sure. In the last game we had also decided to bowl first here. We've asked the guys to be flexible. We believe strongly in our processes. Three changes for us, NCN, Iyer and Shami are in.

Dhoni: We'll bowl first. It's more to do with the wicket. I am not one to look into the stats. ANd also there's rain forecast for the second half. That's where we have struggled. We have been consistent with our bowling but not in the positive side. In times like these you want the bowlers to take responsibility. In place of M Ashwin we have Chahar.
