Mumbai (Playing XI): Dwayne Smith, Sachin Tendulkar, Dinesh Karthik(w), Rohit Sharma(c), Glenn Maxwell, Ambati Rayudu, Harbhajan Singh, Mitchell Johnson, Lasith Malinga, Pragyan Ojha, Abu Nechim Pune (Playing XI): Robin Uthappa(w), Aaron Finch(c), Manish Pandey, Yuvraj Singh, Angelo Mathews, Abhishek Nayar, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Parvez Rasool, Kane Richardson, Ashok Dinda, Ajantha Mendis ==================================================================================== With just two wins in their 13 matches Pune are at the bottom of the table. Their performance in the IPL has been dismal. Only Robin Uthappa has been scoring runs consistently and that he has not shown the resolve to finish games for his team. Yuvraj Singh has been very disappointing throughout the tournament. Bowling wise Bhuvneshwar Kumar has had had his success but inconsistency has plagued him as well. Spinner Rahul Sharma has also been a disappointment. They will be up against the formidable Mumbai Indians who have been good form recently. Mumbai defeated table toppers Chennai Super Kings and that win would have given them a lot of confidence. Rohit Sharma has led from the front and has looked in good tough. Dinesh Karthik and Dwayne Smith have also been good with the bat. Mitchell Johnson was excellent in the last match and the likes of Malinga and Harbhajan have also been impressive.
