Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss and elected to bat against Delhi Capitals in the return fixture at the Feroz Shah Kotla in New Delhi on Thursday.
Mumbai made two changes, bringing in Ben Cutting for Ishan Kishan, who is sick and replacing Jason Behrendorff with Jayant Yadav while Delhi will be fielding the same playing XI.
Delhi, who won three matches on the trot, are second on the points table with 10 points from eight matches. Mumbai Indians are also on 10 points after five wins from eight matches, but are one spot below Delhi Capitals due to an inferior run-rate.
Squads:
Delhi Capitals: Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Colin Munro, Shreyas Iyer (c), Rishabh Pant (wk), Chris Morris, Axar Patel, Keemo Paul, Kagiso Rabada, Amit Mishra, Ishant Sharma.
Mumbai Indians: Quinton de Kock (wk), Rohit Sharma (c), Suryakumar Yadav, Kieron Pollard, Hardik Pandya, Ben Cutting, Krunal Pandya, Jayant Yadav, Rahul Chahar, Jasprit Bumrah, Lasith Malinga.
