Pandya said that dew could be a big factor in the latter half of the match and hence this was a major reason for his decision. He hopes that this surface will be better than the one on which RCB's game was played.

Mumbai went into the match without any changes in the playing eleven, which had defeated Roya Challengers Bangalore at the same venue.

CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad said that he too would have liked to bowl first on this track.

Chennai Super Kings have made one change in their playing eleven by including Mathisha Pathirana in place of Mahesh Theekshana.

While Mumbai is looking to win the match and move up in the table, their former captain Rohit Sharma is eyeing a milestone. He needs three more sixes to become the first Indian batsman to hit 500 sixes in T20 cricket.

Leading this list is West Indies legend Chris Gayle, who has hit 1056 sixes in 463 matches. Rohit's former Mumbai Indians teammate and current batting coach Kieron Pollard is second with 812 maximums in 625 matches.
