Mumbai, who are at the bottom of the points table due to average performance in the 15th season of the Indian Premier League, face Kolkata this evening. The Mumbai team, who have been out of the race for the playoffs, has a fight to save the honour. The team would now like to bid farewell with respect by winning the remaining matches. A big decision can be taken to drop Kieron Pollard in Mumbai's team against Kolkata.
Rohit and Ishan in the opening
In the opening, the sets of Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan did very well in the last match. The innings over 40 runs from both the bats gave a decent beginning to the group. Against Kolkata as well, the group will anticipate a major innings from both these accomplished openers.
Center request change anticipated
Suryakumar Yadav is reliably showing great game for the group. Excepting several matches, his bat has scored runs in pretty much every match. Tilak Verma has arisen as another star for the group this season. Devard Brevis can be allowed an opportunity in the playing XI by dropping Kieron Pollard, who is battling to score runs.
Need to further develop bowling
The group had dominated the game in the last over in the last match. Jasprit Bumrah has not had the option to do that well this season. Karthikeya and Murugan Ashwin's twist can make inconvenience for Kolkata. Reilly Merideth and Daniel Sams will end up being significant for Mumbai.
