Here's what Ajinkya Rahane said after the toss!

We wanted to bowl first as well but I was confused looking at the wicket, generally Wankede is a good batting surface so I feel it’s a good toss to lose. There’s a little breeze going on, no dew factor going on. We are playing good cricket, every games gives a good opportunity to play good cricket. Lovely ground, we are looking to play good cricket. Sunil comes in in place of Mooen.

What Hardik Pandya said after the toss!

We gonna bowl first, looks like a good track. Knowing Wankhede, dew may or may not come. There might be some early swing, it plays well so we thought chasing is a good option. We want to get into good rhythm and kickstart. Overall, we want to play better cricket, we need to stay calm. Will comes back and we have a debutant.

Toss!

Mumbai Indians have won the toss, opted to bowl first.

Pitch report!

There is great covering of grass and the ground is really hard. The ground is to help the batters.

What to expect

The red-soil pitch produces run fests, aided by stadium’s small boundaries.  A keen contest is on the cards.
