D Kulkarni to E Lewis, Drifting on the pads and Lewis flicks it behind square leg for a single.

D Kulkarni to E Lewis, Uppish...but safe! More frustation for Kulkarni, he feels effort from Archer isn't good enough. Full length ball on the stumps, Lewis chips it to mid on. It lands well short of the fielder. Replays are in and it shows the fielder had no chance of getting to it before it bounced.

D Kulkarni to S Yadav, Pushes it to the cover region. Single taken.

D Kulkarni to S Yadav, Kulkarni adjusts his length and bowls it touch closer to the off stump, Yadav looks to cut that. He fails to make contact.

D Kulkarni to S Yadav, FOUR! That is rubbing salt to the wounds of Kulkarni! Width on offer and the batsman pounces on it. Slaps it through the covers for a boundary.

D Kulkarni to S Yadav,Dropped! Gowtham is the man who has shelled a tough chance, but chance nevertheless! Surya chips it off his stumps to mid on. The fielder runs across and dives forward but he fails to hold on to it. How costly will that be? Suryakumar has been in a terrific form and you don't want to give him many chances.

Dhawal Kulkarni comes from the other end.

K Gowtham to E Lewis, FOUR! Expensive start from Gowtham. Mumbai have got off to a flier, 14 runs from the opening over. Uses his feet and plays a cover drive. In the gap and it races away to the fence.

K Gowtham to E Lewis, Wide! Gowtham can't make adjustment and bowls a delivery which he should bowl to a right-hander. Slipping it down the leg side and that's a wide.

K Gowtham to S Yadav, Loopy ball on the stumps, Yadav steps out and punches it to long on. Single taken.

K Gowtham to S Yadav, FOUR! He is playing the mind of the bowler, to this delivery he sits back and square drives it between two men on the off side.

K Gowtham to S Yadav, FOUR! And now he uses the feet, just third ball into the game and he has thwacked it over the infield. The ball races away to the long off fence. Great strike to open the account.

K Gowtham to S Yadav, Yadav goes on the back foot and looks to play the square cut. He misses it as the ball skids quickly after pitching.

K Gowtham to S Yadav, Loopy ball outside off, Yadav opens the face of the bat and slices it to backward point. Can't beat the fielder inside the circle

We are all set to go! The umpires are out and they are followed by the Mumbai opening pair of Suryakumar Yadav and Evin Lewis. For Kolkata, Krishnappa Gowtham will open the attack with the new ball.

Rohit Sharma, the Mumbai skipper, feels there wasn't much dew is the last few games played here. He wants his team to focus what needs to be done as a bowling group and need not worry about the dew factor. He adds they have done well together as a group, someone or the other has stood up and to see them through which they didn't do earlier in the tournament. Informs they are going in with the same side.

Ajinkya Rahane, the Rajasthan skipper, says it is a do-or-die game for both the teams. Adds this is a big ground and the dew comes later in the evening which usually makes an impact. He feels playing good cricket for the enite 40 overs is very important, though Poweplays will be crucial. Informs about changes, D'Arcy Short comes in for Ish Sodhi who is not feeling well. Dhawal Kulkarni and Shreyas Gopal get a game too.

TOSS - Heads is the call from Rahane and heads it is. Rajasthan win the toss and they have elected to bowl first.
