- Finch's long rope comes to an end. A little over 100 runs for the Aussie opener in the last five matches, while he also has just 236 runs from 11 matches this season.

PITCH REPORT

"Teams will want to bat first. Tinge of green grass. It's little bit of dry of late," says JP Duminy. "The match between MI and RR saw the most runs here. Speeds below 125kmph will see run rate of less than 8 rpo while 130-plus will go for 10 rpo and more. Variations key here. This pitch is simply for batting," reckons Darren Ganga.

- Matchpoint Paradox podcast new episode alert! There is a lot of chatter over the jumbo 32-member squad for the Australia tour and much of the talk is centered around the exclusion of Rohit Sharma from all three formats. Oh, and there is also a small matter of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) eliminated from the ongoing tournament. Here's Shayan Acharya, Wriddhaayan Bhattacharyya and Vijay Lokapally discussing the major talking points.

 

- The question on everyone's mind today is on the availability of MI skipper Rohit.. Have your say in our poll.

 

- Can you spot Rohit Sharma on here as MI players and staff board the bus to the stadium?

 

- Pragyan Ojha is the 1st and one of only two spinners to have won the Purple clap. The former Deccan Chargers and Mumbai Indians player talks about T20, the famous one-wicket win over Australia in Mohali, the batsmen he hates bowling to and more in 'Sportstar Extras T20 Time'

 

- Important game today for both teams. However, the focus will be on Rohit Sharma and whether he is available for tonight's fixture. He has missed MI's last two games and was on Monday left out of India squads for the tour of Australia. Regardless, MI’s explosive batting line-up, even sans Rohit, has served the team well. The extraordinary power-hitting abilities of Ishan Kishan and Quinton de Kock at the top, and Kieron Pollard and Hardik Pandya lower down the order make MI a difficult team to bowl at. That said, the last time RCB played in Abu Dhabi, the ball swung and its bowlers made merry against Kolkata Knight Riders. Let's see how they fare tonight...
