The thriller at the Brabourne Stadium is over and Lucknow survived a late scare. Let's switch our focus to Wankhede now where we are minutes away from the first ball. Faf du Plessis and Anuj Rawat are the openers for Bangalore. Mustafizur Rahman to start proceedings. One slip in place. Here we go...

Faf du Plessis, the skipper of Bangalore, says that the pitch looks a bit drier than anticipated. Tells that they had a lot of discussion regarding the combination of the bowlers. Adds that breaking up the overs in the middle is something that they have spoken about as well. Informs that Harshal Patel replaces Akash Deep in this game.

Rishabh Pant, the captain of Delhi, says that the wicket is looking on the drier side so they want to make use of that. Adds that they have one change - Mitchell Marsh comes in for Sarfaraz Khan. Further tells that to keep believing in the process is the message to the team and he hopes that his team will utilize the shorter side of the ground.

Bangalore (Playing XI) - Faf du Plessis (C), Anuj Rawat, Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell, Dinesh Karthik (WK), Shahbaz Ahmed, Suyash Prabhudessai, Wanindu Hasaranga, Harshal Patel (In for Akash Deep), Mohammed Siraj, Josh Hazlewood.

Delhi (Playing XI) - Prithvi Shaw, David Warner, Mitchell Marsh (In for Sarfaraz Khan), Rishabh Pant (C/WK), Rovman Powell, Lalit Yadav, Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Mustafizur Rahman, Khaleel Ahmed.

TOSS - Delhi have won the toss and they have elected to BOWL first.

Debut for Mitchell Marsh! The Australia all-rounder receives his cap for Delhi from Rishabh Pant. He will add an all-round dimension to Delhi's strength.

Update - The game between Mumbai and Lucknow is going on at the Brabourne Stadium, and it's tightly poised at the moment. Chasing a target of 200, Mumbai need 84 off 42 balls with Tilak Varma and Suryakumar Yadav in the middle. With Kieron Pollard and Fabian Allen waiting in the wings, this promises to be a thriller. While we wait for the toss here, you can keep shuffling the tabs and follow that match as well.

Bangalore, on the flip side, were handed a defeat in their previous game after winning three games on the trot and they will be itching to get back to winning ways. They did miss the services of Harshal Patel in the last game, as their bowlers were taken to the cleaners and the batters failed to chase down a huge total. Although, Harshal Patel will be making his comeback in this game and it would surely bolster their line-up. In the last edition, Bangalore won both the fixtures which included a game that they won by one run. Will Delhi take revenge in this clash? We shall find that out soon. Stick around for toss and further updates.

Delhi are coming at the back of a comprehensive win in their previous game against Kolkata and they will be now looking to build on that. It was a complete team performance from them and they seem to be a very formidable unit. It is heard that the Australian all-rounder, Mitchell Marsh, who is now fit, might be drafted into the XI straightaway. This Rishabh Pant-led side will be confident of their chances heading into this clash.

Hello and a very warm welcome to the coverage of game number 27 of the Indian T20 League where Delhi will lock horns with Bangalore at the iconic Wankhede Stadium. Both these sides have fared reasonably well so far but we are yet to witness their best in this tournament. This surely promises to be a cracker of a game as two star-studded line-ups clash. Stay tuned for more...
