Team news:
Kings XI Punjab: Barinder Sran has been expensive in his last few outings and KXIP might consider bringing back Mohit Sharma for the left-arm pacer. They could also look at strengthening the middle order by including David Miller in place of Finch, who has had a poor IPL so far.
Probable XI: KL Rahul (wk), Chris Gayle, Mayank Agarwal, Karun Nair, Manoj Tiwary, David Miller, R Ashwin (c), Andrew Tye, Mohit Sharma, Ankit Rajpoot, Mujeeb Ur Rahman.
Mumbai Indians: Evin Lewis's fitness status is still unknown although Aditya Tare stated that "he had an injection and he should be fine." If the West Indian has made sufficient recovery from his wrist injury ahead of the game, he is likely to come back into the eleven at the expense of Kieron Pollard, who has looked off colour in this IPL.
Probable XI: Suryakumar Yadav, Evin Lewis/Kieron Pollard, Ishan Kishan (wk), Rohit Sharma, JP Duminy, Krunal Pandya, Hardik Pandya, Ben Cutting, Mitchell McClenaghan, Jasprit Bumrah, Mayank Markande.

What they said:
"It's important to be able to recharge throughout the tournament. I think we played four games in nine days leading up to the seven-day break and now we going again for a lot of quick games - I think five games in about 12 days. It's good to get momentum in the tournament but you also need to refresh at some stage and I think it (break) came at a good time" - Aaron Finch, about the team's time away from cricket.
"It's T20 format - every team is strong and the strongest of the teams can lose sometimes. The format of the game is such that the result really depends on how you play that particular day. If you falter in any one aspect of the game you'll most likely end up on the losing side. But we have been in this situation before and we've bounced back. That gives us some confidence going into this stage of the tournament" - Aditya Tare is confident of a strong MI comeback.
