Toss:
Last match at Wankhede was a high scoring game; the pitch will be the same for this game as well.
Under lights the ball will come onto the bat nicely with a little breeze coming in from Arabian Sea which
might help bowlers with new ball. The team winning the toss will look to bowl first with dew coming in
later.

Mumbai Indians

Team news:
No injury concerns for Mumbai apart from one concern about how to finish off games. When asked
about the mood in the dressing room Kieron Pollard said “We’re not down right now. If we’re down
now, we should go home. We’ve had conversations about how to finish off games.”

Key players:
Hardik Pandya who has recovered from the injury will be key player with both bowl as well as bat.
Watch out for the young Mayank Markande who has been bowling exceptionally well with an economy
of 8.

Recent form:
They have lost all the three matches they have played with some great last over finish by their
opponents. All the players in XI have clicked except Captain Rohit Sharma. His form will be crucial on
how far Mumbai Indians go in this tournament..
