On a roll after a six-game winning streak, high-flying Mumbai Indians will take on a resurgent Rising Pune Supergiant, their only conquerors in IPL season 10, in a potentially high-voltage clash in Mumbai.
Pune’s last-ball, six-wicket victory on Saturday at home against defending champions Sunrisers Hyderabad was followed just over a 100km away at the Wankhede Stadium by Mumbai’s stout defence of a small total on a bouncy pitch against the misfiring Delhi Daredevils.
