TEAM NEWS

Mumbai Indians: While the batters did a decent job in the first game, it was the bowlers of Mumbai that let the side down. Ishan Kishan (81 off 48) shone with the bat, while skipper Rohit Sharma (41 off 32) too made useful contribution. The worrying sign for MI was that Jasprit Bumrah and Daniel Sams leaked runs at an economy of 12.90 and 14.2 respectively that too without a wicket. On the other hand, Tymal Mills (1/26) and Murugan Ashwin (2/14) were really impressive. Suryakumar Yadav is available for selection and he will make it to the playing XI, most likely at the cost of Anmolpreet Singh.
