15:40 hrs IST: Mumbai Indians: Rohit Sharma(c), Evin Lewis, Ishan Kishan (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya, Kieron Pollard, Mayank Markande, Jasprit Bumrah, Mustafizur Rahman, Akila Dananjaya

Delhi Daredevils: Jason Roy, Gautam Gambhir(c), Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant (wk), Glenn Maxwell, Vijay Shankar, Daniel Christian, Rahul Tewatia, Shahbaz Nadeem, Mohammed Shami, Trent Boult

15:30 hrs IST: Delhi Daredevils have won the toss and chose to field.

The hosts would especially hope for an end to the dismal run of skipper Rohit Sharma, who fell cheaply in both the games. Rohit’s form is crucial for Mumbai and with Lewis too not coming good, the opening partnership has been struggling to get going. The death bowling, especially from bowlers like Mustafizur Rehman and Jasprit Bumrah, must improve - and fast.

Delhi, on the other hand, also possess top batsmen but they too haven’t been able to perform to their potential till now. The bowlers, who have leaked runs aplenty, will also need to step up and strike regular blows to contain Mumbai’s strong batting line-up.
