TEAM NEWS
Mumbai Indians: Rohit Sharma has already indicated that his side would be giving chances to some new players in the final game. 22 players have played in 13 games for MI this season. Both Rohit and Ishan Kishan have failed to live up to the expectations. Meanwhile, Suryakumar Yadav, who looked really good, played only eight games between his return from injury and getting ruled out due to another injury. Tilak Varma (376 runs from 13 games) has been the silver lining for the side. Mumbai's bowling too has been weak this season with Jasprit Bumrah lacking support from the other end.
Delhi Capitals: David Warner (427 runs), Mitchell Marsh (251 runs), Rovman Powell (207 runs), Kuldeep Yadav (20 wickets, 8.45) and Khaleel Ahmed (16 wickets, 8.08), all have done a decent job for Delhi Capitals so far. Meanwhile, the idea to open with Sarfaraz Khan gave instant result to DC and the side would like to stick to it, in case Prithvi Shaw is not fit for the game. Eyes will also be on Shardul Thakur, who registered a four-wicket haul in the previous game against Punjab Kings.
