Toss Prediction
Chasing would be difficult on a turning track as it would slow down with more and more cricket on it. So, batting first after winning the toss could be the way to go.
Probable Best Batter
Shikhar Dhawan is the main man as far as the batting of PBKS is concerned. He has been amongst the runs throughout the season so far. On a slow pitch, his experience would come in handy.
Probable Best Bowler
When the ball turns, the leg spinners become dangerous. Someone like Amit Mishra would be able to extract the most out of the surface. He has done a good job whenever given an opportunity this season.
