It is a crucial match for Rohit Sharma and his team as they look to launch another campaign to complete a hat-trick of the title, and add to their kitty of five IPL titles in total. MI won the UAE last season with a dominating performance to break their madness of not winning the trophy in consecutive years.

This will move Mumbai to the top two spots in the list of teams with most wins against a particular opponent. This would make MI the only team in IPL history to have won 20 or more matches against two opponents.
