Aaron Finch was awarded Man of the Match twice for his match-winning 47-ball 74 against (Kings XI Punjab) KXIP and 36-ball 50 against Rising Pune Supergiants (RPS). Captain Suresh Raina will be hoping the Australian southpaw continues his stellar show and go all guns blazing against the rampaging MI as well. Brendon McCullum, on the other hand, regained his mojo by plundering 31-ball 49, which was studded with 3 sixes and as many fours. Amongst bowlers, Ravindra Jadeja has been at his destructive best. His 2 for 18 against RPS must have done world of good to his confidence. IPL 2016 Schedule, Time Table, Fixture PDF Download

MI, on the other hand, will be looking to grab GL by the collar and get one more win under their belt. However, it would be interesting to see if MI select Martin Guptill in the playing XI. Given the kind of composition both teams feature, it is difficult to predict which team will waltz to glory.
