It is Maharashtra Day, the last match in the drought-hit state and it is a Maharashtra derby in what will be the last IPL game this season in the state. Mumbai Indians (MI) take on Rising Pune Supergiants (RPS) in the 29th match of the ninth edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). The sides first met in Mumbai in the tournament opener and RPS had thrashed MI quite comfortably. However, RPS have failed to continue the good run.

Currently, Pune are at No. 6 spot, while MI are at No.5 in the table. RPS’ progress has been hampered due to a couple of injuries. First, they lost Kevin Pietersen and then Faf du Plessis, before Mitchell Marsh being ruled out of the tournament as well. MI are looking good with two back-to-back wins and are a settled unit at the moment.
Rohit Sharma won the toss at Pune and elected to bowl. So, Mumbai have the advantage here. As usual, we bring you the live updates and best tweets from the cyberspace.

I think, with that brawl with Rayudu, Harbhajan just proved why he is not in playing eleven for team India.. #MIvRPS #RPSvMI — चौधरी निशांत सिंह (@MrChaudhary_) May 1, 2016
Why the hell is #Irfanpathan still in the bench? Horrible team selection! #captain needs to be rested/changed was a definite 180+ #RPSvMI — C.K.Santosh (@santosh_ck) May 1, 2016

In previous years, you’d see Indian captains jog a single, put their hand up and take a breather. Dhoni has set new standards in urgency. — Alt Cricket (@AltCricket) May 1, 2016
Dhoni slips down and sees the opportunity for second run immediately got up to run the second run… — Broken Cricket (@BrokenCricket) May 1, 2016
I think Mr Dhoni should allow batsman like T Perera before him. #RPSvMI — abir mahapatra (@_AmiAbir) May 1, 2016
Quality middle overs by @mipaltan bowlers, they have managed to pull things back! Good job guys. #RPSvMI #EIT20 — Waѕiyullah Budye (@WasiyullahB) May 1, 2016
Mr Dhoni thinks Pandya a good bowler, n he proved dat playing 3 dots n den 1 single! #RPSvMI — abir mahapatra (@_AmiAbir) May 1, 2016
That looks quite interesting with addition of Scot Boland, may be he as been the missing link in Pune…. #RPSvMI #IPL2016 — shashi (@shashi427) May 1, 2016
