Mumbai Indians Form

Mumbai Indians are tied on points (six) with the basement club Royal Challengers Bengaluru, although with a game in hand. They are still a long way off the playoff qualification.

Playing in Delhi, Mumbai’s last match was a ten-run loss in a game where 904 runs were scored. They conceded 257 for 4 bowling first, where almost all bowlers were smashed. The chase was kept alive by Tilak Varma (63) and Hardik Pandya (37), but they fell short.

Mumbai’s batting is led by Tilak (336 runs), who has three scores of 50 this season. Bowling has been about Bumrah (14 wickets) and Gerald Coetzee (12 wickets).

Coetzee missed the last game and could be back for this in place of Luke Wood. They may be tempted to bench the expensive Nuwan Thushara.
