Jasprit Bumrah to Mitchell Marsh, The in-between length again, on middle and leg, Marsh presses back and nudges it down to square leg.
Jasprit Bumrah to Josh Inglis, Hard length over middle, holds its line and Inglis stabs it down to the right of mid on for a single.
Jasprit Bumrah to Josh Inglis, FOUR! Josh Inglis kicks off his LSG career in style. A fraction too straight from Bumrah, darting it into the pads. Inglis clips it nicely, and the ball races away to the left of the deep backward square leg fielder and goes into the fence.
Jasprit Bumrah to Mitchell Marsh, Bowls it just back of a length and gets it to slant back in from outside off. Marsh hangs back and angles it away through the backward point region for a single.
Very productive opening over for the Super Giants. And here's Jasprit Bumrah from the opposite end. There's a slip in place.
Deepak Chahar to Mitchell Marsh, A single to end the first over, 11 off it. Pitched fuller, swinging in towards the stumps. Marsh leans on and pushes it down to wide long off for a run. A positive start for LSG.
Deepak Chahar to Mitchell Marsh, Much better from Chahar. Good length again, in the channel just outside off and shaping it away. Marsh makes a leave.
Deepak Chahar to Mitchell Marsh, Good length, attacking the stumps this time, Marsh flicks it across to the mid-wicket fielder.
Deepak Chahar to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR! Pitched up now, at the stumps, Mitchell Marsh shuffles down the track a bit and forces the drive uppishly back over the bowler's head for a boundary.
Deepak Chahar to Mitchell Marsh, SIX! Some way to get off the mark, that. Chahar opts to go short but serves a gentle-paced delivery around Marsh's midriff. The Bison gets inside the line and tonks it over deep mid-wicket for a biggie and LSG are underway.
Deepak Chahar to Mitchell Marsh, Some early swing on offer for Chahar. Very full and outside off, shaping away from the right-hander. Mitchell Marsh goes for the booming drive but gets it off the inner half of the blade to mid off.
In all readiness to get going in the City of Dreams. It's absolutely buzzing at the Wankhede with a sea of blue to cheer for the home team. There's an odd sprinkling of red for the tourists. The two umpires walk out to the middle. Suryakumar Yadav has his men in a huddle near the ropes. Now, they spread out to take their respective spots. And here's another opening pair for the Super Giants. The two Aussies - Mitchell Marsh and Josh Inglis - walk out to the crease. Deepak Chahar will bowl the first over. Hasn't been in the best of form lately, but has the ability to get the ball moving early doors. The Bison to take the strike. A slip in place. Here we go!

The skipper of Lucknow Super Giants - Rishabh Pant says they would have bowled first as well, adding that at Wankhede, any target can be chased down. He admits it has been a tough season for them and says the break has brought plenty of reflection on what they can and cannot do, both as a team and as individuals. More importantly, he accepts that they have let their fans down and promises they will give their 200 percent to bring that happiness back and return some love to the fans. He also confirms three changes to the side, with Josh Inglis coming in. Adds that Akshat Raghuwanshi comes in and Mukul Choudhary goes out, while the bowling combination will be decided later.

In the last couple of games, it has become better to bat on in the second innings, so that's there as well. Adds that Hardik Pandya is unwell so he is filling in his shoes. SKY informs that they have a few changes. Corbin Bosch comes in place of Trent Boult and their very own Rohit Sharma is back, which sent the crowd into frenzy. Surya mentions that they can't hide behind the fact that MI are not known to be in such positions, but it's a game, and they have a lot of pride to play for and have fun out there. He ends by saying that not having any margin for error doesn't really make them dangerous but all they can do is put their best foot forward, try to win as many games as possible and put up a show for the crowd.
