Mumbai played against Hyderabad in their last game, where Hyderabad was asked to bat first. They, yet again, had a batting failure with their top order collapsing. Klaasen and Abhinav calmed the storm and took a total of 143, but this was never going to be enough. Rohit and Surya had yet another fantastic partnership and won the game by seven wickets easily.

Lucknow met Delhi in their previous encounter, where Lucknow was asked to bat first. They had a brilliant start as usual, but they were not able to take it well into the middle overs this time and succumbed to a total of 159. This was never going to be a daunting total for Delhi, and fifties from Porel and Rahul meant no hiccups as they won the game by eight wickets easily.

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.
