Sachin Tendulkar won the toss and predictably decided to bat on what is expected to be one of the flattest tracks of the tournament so far. The Mumbai Indians have alternately won and lost games over their past five matches, and will be looking to break that trend after the victory against Kolkata Knight Riders on Friday.
Royal Challengers Bangalore, on the other hand, have strung together two successes and will need another to stay in touch with the pace-setters. Their shaky batting has a tough ask against a Mumbai side that has perhaps the most balanced bowling attack around. They got a boost, though, with the return of Rahul Dravid who missed a couple of games on paternity leave.
Bangalore also sought to sort their top-order batting worries by including Wasim Jaffer, who was in sensational form through the domestic season. Another player getting his first game is South African allrounder Dillion Du Preez, taking the place of the out-of sorts Jesse Ryder. Vinay Kumar also finds a place to beef up the fast bowling attack.
Mumbai have made a couple of changes, both Dwayne Bravo and Shikhar Dhawan returning from injury to replace Graham Napier, who has flown back to England, and Saurabh Tiwary.
