Informs they are unchanged from their last game.
TOSS – Mumbai win the toss and they will be fielding first!
Pitch Report – JP Duminy doing the pitch report says it looks a very good track, there is a tinge of grass on it but it is dry underneath. Daren Ganga besides him says you can bat well here as the bounce is good and there is not a lot of turn on this surface. He reckons slower ones come handy on the surface but there should be considerable difference between the normal deliveries and the slower ones.
Welcome to match 48 of the league this season and it is the big one. The two heavyweights collide as Mumbai take on Bangalore in the clash to go top of the table. Both sides will be desperate to get back to winning ways after losing their last game respectively. Whoever wins this will have a nose in the playoffs. One question in everyone’s mind after recent social media post is, will Rohit be fit to take the field? Can Kohli’s men get one over Mumbai or will the Men in Blue avenge for the earlier Super Over heartbreak?
