Toss Mumbai Indians chose to bowl v Kolkata Knight Riders
Kolkata Knight Riders were asked to bat by Mumbai Indians in a must-win game for Dinesh Karthik's men at the Wankhede. If Knight Riders lose today, Sunrisers Hyderabad, who have a superior net run-rate, would qualify for the playoffs.
Mumbai, meanwhile, are already through to the playoffs, but they need to win against Knight Riders to move to No.1 and face Chennai Super Kings, who are already assured of a two-two finish, at Chepauk. However, if Mumbai lose today, they will have to face Sunrisers in the Eliminator in Vizag.
Knight Riders captain Karthik said "everbody is as calm as they can get" and that quick Prasidh Krishna was recalled in place of Piyush Chawla.
On the other hand, Mumbai made two changes, bringing in Mitchell McClenaghan and Ishan Kishan in place of Barinder Sran and Evin Lewis.
Mumbai Indians: 1 Rohit Sharma (capt), 2 Quinton de Kock (wk), 3 Suryakumar Yadav, 4 Ishan Kishan, 5 Hardik Pandya, 6 Kieron Pollard, 7 Krunal Pandya, 8 Rahul Chahar, 9 Jasprit Bumrah, 10 Lasith Malinga, 11 Mitchell McClenaghan
Kolkata Knight Riders: 1 Chris Lynn, 2 Shubman Gill, 3 Robin Uthappa, 4 Dinesh Karthik (capt & wk), 5 Andre Russell, 6 Nitish Rana, 7 Rinku Singh, 8 Sunil Narine, 9 Prasidh Krishna, 10 Harry Gurney, 11 Sandeep Warrier
