The ball will be on Gujarat Lions court from the outset as they have to win this match by a good margin to give themselves a chance to make it to the playoffs, which is highly unlikely. Mumbai Indians could take this match to experiment a few combinations before they are ready for the playoffs. Brendon McCullum has been a worry as he has struck form in patches and not consistently enough. Mumbai Indians would look at Rohit Sharma to get a big knock under his belt before the playoffs arrive.
Mumbai Indians have to be wary about Andrew Tye as he has been in red-hot form.
Off their eight games, Lions have scored 170-plus totals five times. They have also conceded 170-plus total six times, that will be a worrying factor.
This is the second of the double-header Saturday and the match begins at 2000 hrs.
