Toss Prediction
The team that batted first won the last game at this venue. Despite that result, the captains could look to bowl first after winning the toss.
Probable Best Batter
Jos Buttler would be the most dangerous batter at the Wankhede Stadium. He has done well at this ground in the past and once again, he would love to pull off a big score.
Probable Best Bowler
If Trent Boult is able to make it back to the side, he would be a big threat to the MI batters. The MI top order has been vulnerable against left-arm pacers. Boult would look to exploit that weakness yet again.
