Mumbai Indians are hosting former table-toppers Gujarat Lions at Mumbai. The Mumbai pitch will assist pace and the ground will also allow stroke-making. To do that, Gujarat Lions posses Brendon McCullum, Dwayne Smith and Suresh Raina in their top-order. So if they get going the fans could be in for a humdinger of a Sunday. Mumbai Indians too would be hoping that their famed top order that boasts of Rohit Sharma fires. The Pandyas have shown they can win matches for their team on their day and with Lasith Malinga likely to make a comeback in place of Tim Southee, it is bound to bolster their bowling unit.
Going by the trend it seems the team that will win the toss will opt to field first. This is going to be the first of the double-headers today.
The match is the first of the double header today and it starts at 04:00 pm IST. You can watch the match live on Sony Max, Sony Six or you can also live stream on Hotstar.
