Mumbai fought against Rajasthan in their previous game, where, batting first, Mumbai had a stellar show with the bat. Losing just two wickets, all of their batters looked in great touch and scored a total of 217 runs. Rajasthan needed a good start to chase this down, but instead, they kept losing wickets regularly. As a result, they lost by a huge margin of 100 runs eventually.

Gujarat faced Hyderabad in their last match, where Gujarat was batting first, and they put up another stellar show with the bat. Almost everyone in the top order scored fifties to take the team to a total of 224. Abhishek fought for the Sunrisers, but it was a lone battle. By the end, they could only score 186 and lost the game by 38 runs.

Long before the IPL became a run-fest, Wankhede Stadium was known as a batting paradise. The surface soon settles into a batter-friendly track, albeit early on, fast bowlers may find some movement. High scores are guaranteed when you include the short boundaries. Mumbai supporters should prepare for another exciting game with lots of runs on Sunday.
