Hello and welcome to match 31 and it's Mumbai colliding with Bangalore tonight at the Wankhede stadium. The last time these two sides met this season it was action-packed and dramatic to say the least. We are expecting more of the same tonight, more now as Bangalore have finally won their first game of the season and will look to get on a run and keep their hopes alive to qualify for the playoffs. Mumbai will look to bounce back after an agonizingly close defeat against Rajasthan in the last game and make it two for the season against Bangalore. This has all the ingredients to be a crunch contest. Who will come out on top? Stay tuned for updates as the toss is not far away.
