Right then, Mumbai have 192 on the board and this looks above par on a surface which looks to be on the slower side and does not look easier to bat.

In case you were wondering how the result of this game will affect the position of the teams in the standings, we have got you covered. If Mumbai restrict Punjab to 159 or below, they leap to 5th, over Lucknow.
