Playing XI Updates
Mumbai Indians
No changes are expected of Mumbai Indians after a sensational win against SRH in their own backyard. Alzarri Joseph should keep his place while Ishan Kishan will be persisted for one more game after a tough start to his IPL 2019.
The onus will be on Rohit Sharma and Quinton de Kock to provide another whirlwind start to put the pressure on a good KXIP unit as they seek their fourth win of the season.
Possible XI: Rohit(C), de Kock(WK), Kishan, Surya, Hardik, Pollard, Krunal, Chahar, Bumrah, Alzarri and Behrendorff.
Kings XI Punjab
With a good pitch on offer at the Wankhede, the same team could be persisted with again although Mujeeb's injury could be a concern. The batting should remain the same with Chris Gayle expected to come good against a good Mumbai bowling unit led by Jasprit Bumrah.
KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal are also in very good form and will once again be critical to their cause.
Possible XI: Gayle, Rahul(WK), Agarwal, Sarfaraz, Mandeep, Miller, Curran, Ashwin(C), Rajpoot, Shami and Mujeeb.

Fantasy Tips and Suggestions
Wicket-keeper: KL Rahul seems to be in very good form and should be picked after a wonderful performance against SRH in Mohali. Although de Kock is also due for a big one, KL Rahul should come good against the likes of Bumrah and Behrendorff.
Batsmen: Chris Gayle and Rohit Sharma are must have players in the side while the likes of Mayank Agarwal and Ishan Kishan are also worthy candidates with their ability to take on the bowlers on a good surface.
All-rounders: One of Krunal or Hardik Pandya should suffice in the team with their all-round skills sure to come into the play during the course of the match while Sam Curran skill-set should be backed against a good MI side
Bowlers: Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Shami are the designated death bowlers for either side and should be picked in the side. One of Mujeeb or Ankit Rajpoot should make the team as well along with the Alzarri Joseph, who had an amazing debut against SRH
Captain: KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma have exemplary records at the Wankhede and should be the beneficiaries of a flat track in Mumbai. Along with the aforementioned duo, Krunal Pandya and Chris Gayle are also viable options to choose as captain.
