NEW DELHI: Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted to field against Punjab Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL) match at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Saturday.
Mumbai would look to clinch their fourth consecutive victory, while Punjab would aim to bounce back after suffering a defeat against Royal Challengers Bangalore in their previous match.
"We are going to have a bowl first. Really nice to have some wins under the belt, winning is always nice and the atmosphere is good but the job is not done. Quite surprisingly nice and pleasant. Looking forward to this game. We have had some injuries but Jofra is back and that is the only change. Wankhede is a good pitch to bat on and it gets better as the game goes on, hopefully we restrict them and chase it down later," Rohit said after winning the toss.
"Back to back games and not much time to think about it. No Shikhar, that's why I am here but he's recovering and should be back soon. Great opportunity for the others to put their hand and we are going with the same team. Lot of close games for us. We would have bowled as well, that is the trend but hopefully we do well. Have a good powerplay and then take it from there," Sam Curran, Punjab stand-in skipper, said at the toss.
