Speaking at the toss, SRH skipper Aiden Markram predicted that the wicket will have a little moisture in it, which will be useful for the pacers.
"We are gonna bowl first, looks like there is moisture on this wicket, something for the pacers to utilize," Markram stated. "If things are meant to work out, it will work out. Guys have the permission to express themselves. We look forward to doing that. Trying to play really good cricket, up to our potential and abilities.
"We have been playing really good cricket but not getting over the line. Would like to pack a punch tonight. Marco Jansen comes in for Glenn Phillips."
GT skipper Hardik Pandya, on the other hand, stressed the importance of playing good cricket irrespective of their place in the points table.
"The standing in the table doesn't matter that much, you have to play good cricket. When we started, we knew it would be a tricky year for us," Hardik stated. "The players have put up their hands in tough situations and put their hands up. It is a fresh wicket, we would have liked to field as well.
"We have a couple of forced changes. Shankar got hit by a ball in the net yesterday, Sai comes in. Shanaka makes his debut and also Yash Dayal is back."
