20.38 IST: Strategic time-out!
20.34 IST: Alzarri Joseph to KL Rahul, FOUR! A calypso style lofted drive! The slower ball and it is outside off, Rahul has his back leg up in the air and then just picks it over the mid off fielder. A boundary! 10 from the first three balls.
20.34 IST: Alzarri Joseph to KL Rahul, SIX! Short and Rahul pounces on it! A bumper and it bounces at a good height for the batsman. Rahul picks the length early, rocks back and sends it sailing over the mid-wicket fence.
20.29 IST: Jasprit Bumrah to KL Rahul, FOUR! Excellent placement! You have got brute force at one end and sublime timing at the other. It is the off cutter and it is a touch short. Rahul waits for it, goes back and then punches it through the gap in the cover region.
20.25 IST: Jason Behrendorff to Chris Gayle, SIX! Maximum to end! 23 from this over, a huge one and a much-needed one. Jason once again makes the mistake of bowling it too full on middle, Gayle easily strokes it over the bowler's head. The timing is such that it carries all the way.

20.24 IST: Jason Behrendorff to Chris Gayle, FOUR! This time Gayle picks the slower one and bags a boundary! Slower but there is width on offer and with no fielder in the deep on the off side that is just bad bowling. Gayle slaps it over covers and a boundary results.
20.22 IST: Jason Behrendorff to Chris Gayle, SIX! Two-in-two! This is even bigger than the last one. Once again it is a poor delivery. Length and on middle, sits up to be hit. Gayle pulls it with aplomb, over the mid-wicket fence. This could be a big, big over. 13 from it already.
20.21 IST: Jason Behrendorff to Chris Gayle, SIX! Gayle gets into the act! He has absolutely smoked that. Right in Gayle's zone. Full and on middle, Chris lofts it over the long on fence.
20.18 IST: Alzarri Joseph to KL Rahul, SIX! High and handsome! How stylish was that? Joseph angles it on the pads, Rahul says thank you very much and he nonchalantly flicks it high up in the air, it has the distance though as it goes over the square leg fence. First of the game.
20.15 IST: Alzarri Joseph is into the attack.
20.14 IST: Jason Behrendorff to Chris Gayle, Lovely shot! This is angled into Gayle. He whips it through mid-wicket. There is protection in the deep so just a single.
20.10 IST: Jason Behrendorff to Lokesh Rahul, FOUR! Classic! Top shot! Save your legs. Back of a length and on off, Rahul stands tall and punches it through covers for the first boundary of the game. Ideal start to this one after two quiet overs.
20.13 IST: Jasprit Bumrah to Chris Gayle, Bowls a bouncer, Gayle does well to duck under it. Just 3 runs from the over. Good start from Jasprit Bumrah.
20.05 IST: Jasprit Bumrah to bowl from the other end
20.01 IST: Jason Behrendorff to Lokesh Rahul, A beautiful delivery to begin with! Excellent use of the angle that. It pitches on off and Rahul is worried about the one coming back. The ball though goes on with the angle. Rahul has a tentative poke and he gets beaten.
19.57 IST: We are all set for the action to begin! The Mumbai players make their way out to the middle and they are followed by the two Punjab openers, Chris Gayle and KL Rahul. Jason Behrendorff to start the proceedings for the hosts. He will look for some swing. Will he get any? We will have to wait and watch as he steams in.
19.38 IST: Debut for Siddhesh Lad

In a major dent to Mumbai Indians' ongoing IPL 2019 campaign and Team India's World Cup readiness, opener Rohit Sharma seems to have picked up a hamstring injury during his IPL team's training session on Tuesday night at the Wankhede Stadium. [Read full story]
Brief Preview:
Revenge will be on their mind when Mumbai Indians lock horns with Kings XI Punjab, the hosts looking to stretch their winning run in the Indian Premier League here Wednesday. The previous encounter between the two teams in Mohali had ended in a comprehensive eight-wicket win for Kings XI, but home conditions at the Wankhede Stadium are expected to favour MI.
MI enter the match high on confidence following successive victories over holders Chennai Super Kings and last edition's finalists Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Significantly both these victories came mostly because of MI's all-round bowling strength as the bowlers defended totals successfully. [Read full peview]
