Playing XI

Mumbai Indians: Rohit Sharma, Quinton de Kock, Surya Kumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan, Hardik Pandya, Kieron Pollard, Krunal Pandya, Rahul Chahar, Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah, Nathan Coulter-Nile

Kolkata Knight Riders: Shubman Gill, Rahul Tripathi, Nitish Rana, Dinesh Karthik', Eoin Morgan*, Andre Russell, Chris Green, Pat Cummins, Prasidh Krishna, Shivam Mavi, Varun Chakravarthy

An explosive batting line-up and a lethal-at-death bowling attack will give defending champions Mumbai Indians a definitive edge over Kolkata Knight Riders when the two teams clash in an IPL game in Abu Dhabi on Friday.

The defending champions are on a roll having won their last four games, while there are problems aplenty for KKR, who were decimated by the Royal Challengers Bangalore by 82 runs in their last game.

Mumbai Indians are thus unlikely to tinker with their playing XI.

For KKR, Dinesh Karthik has handed over the team's captaincy to Eoin Morgan.

Questions remain as to whether their key spinner Sunil Narine, who has been once reported for suspect bowling action, will play or not. He had missed the game against RCB even as KKR hoped for an "early resolution" to the issues surrounding his controversial action.
