Speaking at the toss, SRH skipper Aiden Markram wants his side to post a big score on the board and put LSG under pressure.
"We are going to bat first, looks a good wicket," Markram said. "It will be on the dry side. Hopefully, we get a good score and put that scoreboard pressure on them. You have to balance the conditions and what's working for the team.
"In day games you can't see it (pitch) changing too much. We are in an exciting position, hope it brings out the best in us. We have a batting all-rounder (Sanvir Singh) - he comes in for us."
LSG skipper Krunal Pandya, on the other hand, admitted that they have had a mixed campaign and stressed that his side will look to play a good brand of cricket.
"We would have batted first as well, but I don't mind (bowling) either. It has been an up and down season for us," Krunal said. "You have to play good cricket, that's what matters. The wicket looks good and it will play the same. We have a couple of changes. Prerak and Yudhvir are in for Hooda and Mohsin."
