IPL Updates! Mumbai win toss, to bat first against Punjab

May 13, 2016 19:32

Good evening and welcome to the coverage of the Indian Premier League match between Mumbai Indians and Kings XI Punjab in Vizag.

The news is the home team has won the toss and opted to bat first.

"Looks a good track but we feel it will get slower and slower as the game progress," reasons captain Rohit Sharma. "In the few matches played here the batsmen were finding it difficult to play the ball later on," he adds.

Murali Vijay, his opposite number, concurs to the decision.

"We would have batted first as well, as the wicket looks dry," he admits.

Both the teams have made one change apiece.
