Mumbai to bowl first; Mustafizur returns for Sunrisers
Photo: BCCINew Delhi: Mumbai Indians won the toss and opted to bowl first in an all important IPL encounter against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Mumbai.
Bangladesh medium pacer Mustafizur Rahaman has been included in the Sunrisers playing XI after returning from national duties. All-rounder Moises Henriques is out with an upset stomach.
Mustafizur’s return can act as a major boost for Sunrisers as the left cutter specialist was amongst top performers for them in their triumphant last season.
Mustafizur had taken 17 wickets in 16 matches last season with an economy rate under six.
Left-arm spinner Bipul Sharma has been replaced with Tamil Nadu all-rounder Vijay Shankar.
Mumbai Indians on the other hand have gone in with an unchanged playing XI.
SRH XI: D Warner, S Dhawan, Y Singh, D Hooda, B Cutting, N Ojha, V Shankar, R Khan, B Kumar, A Nehra, M Rahman
MI XI: J Buttler, P Patel, RG Sharma, N Rana, K Pandya, K Pollard, H Pandya, H Singh, M McClenaghan, L Malinga, J Bumrah
