Rohit Sharma won the toss and Mumbai Indians have opted to bowl first against the Delhi Capitals at the Wankhede Stadium. Delhi need a win to qualify for the top 4.

Mumbai have made two changes with Dewald Brevis and Hrithik Shokeen return to the side while Delhi have Prithvi Shaw back in for Lalit Yadav.

“We are going to bowl first. Good track. Wanted to have a score in front of us. Crucial for us that we restrict them and then bat freely. We were inconsistent throughout the season. The talk in the group is that we need to come together. There will be a few eyes on us, so we got to come up with the best. We have tried a few things in the last few games keeping an eye on the future. We want to finish on a high. Two changes. Brevis back in for Stubbs. Shokeen in place of Sanjay, who is injured,” Rohit said.

“We wanted to bowl first. But I lost the toss, so we have to bat first. One change: Prithvi comes in for Lalit Yadav.” Rishabh Pant said.
