19:42 IST: Punjab win the toss and choose to field. There are 4 changes in their squad while there are two changes in the Sunrisers squad.  

19:40 IST: Hello and welcome to the live blog of the match between Kings XI Punjab and Sunrisers Hyderabad from Mohali!

Hyderabad have clashed with Punjab at their home ground on one occasion this season in which they secured a five-run win while defending a modest total of 159 runs.

KXIP will take solace in the fact that opener Hashim Amla is in good form and can take the attack to the opposition camp. KXIP scored a near 200 total (198) against the Mumbai Indians with Amla scoring a terrific hundred and skipper Glenn Maxwell also hitting some lusty blows. On the other side, openers David Warner (235 from 7 games) and Shikhar Dhawan (282 from 7 games) have been scoring the bulk of runs for SRH and would look to maintain their form.
