NEW DELHI: Highveld Lions skipper Alviro Petersen won the toss and decided to bowl against Chennai Super Kings in their Champions League T20 match at Newlands in Cape Town.

The changes that the Super Kings have made for this match include Albie Morkel coming in place of Michael Hussey and Wriddhiman Saha replacing Yo Mahesh.

Meanwhile, the Lions are fielding an unchanged side from their previous match.

A narrow 14-run defeat has not been an ideal start for the former champions Chennai Super Kings and they will look to make amends in their bowling against Highveld Lions.

Save a mini mid-innings collapse, Chennai batted well in their loss against Sydney Sixers but bowling was a bit of concern for them as they leaked too many runs at the death.

Most of the bowlers used by skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni went for runs and he needs his frontline pacers -- Ben Hilfenhuas and Dough Bollinger -- to fire in the next game.

Left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja did a decent job and Ravichandran Ashwin played his part well but the side conceded too many runs in the last six overs to make it tough for themselves.

Lions, the local outfit, are also a good batting unit. Veteran Neil McKenzie along with Quinton de Kock mowed down the Mumbai Indians attack without any fuss and hammered the defending champions by eight wickets on Monday.

The other Lion bastmen are yet to be tested in this tournament but their bowlers gave a good account of themselves, especially fast bowler Dirk Nannes.

The left-arm pacer bowled very tight as he gave away just 15 runs and also took a wicket. Except for Chris Morris everyone else bowled quite impressively in the game against Mumbai.

Teams:

Chennai Super Kings: MS Dhoni (Capt. and wk), Ravichandran Ashwin, Doug Bollinger, Murali Vijay, Faf du Plessis, Ben Hilfenhaus, Albie Morkel, Suresh Raina, Wriddhiman Saha, Ravindra Jadeja, Subramaniam Badrinath.

Highveld Lions: Alviro Petersen (Capt.), Gulam Bodi, Zander de Bruyn, Quinton de Kock, Neil McKenzie, Chris Morris, Dirk Nannes, Aaron Phangiso, Sohail Tanvir, Jean Symes, Thami Tsolekile (wk).
