Informs that Jofra Archer has been rested as a precautionary measure. Ends by saying that it is great to be back at Wankhede and he is looking forward to this game.

MS Dhoni, the skipper of Chennai, informs that they will bowl first. Adds that this is one of the most memorable venues not only because of the 2011 ODI World Cup win but also due to the reception they got after returning from the 2007 T20 World Cup victory. Shares that the wickets here are generally good and the batters can play their shots. Informs that there are a few injury concerns and adds that Moeen Ali and Ben Stokes are not available. Mentions that Ajinkya Rahane and Dwaine Pretorius are the two guys who come in.

Impact Players nominated by Chennai - Ambati Rayudu, Akash Singh, Subhranshu Senapati, Shaik Rasheed and Rajvardhan Hangargekar.

Chennai (Playing XI) - Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devon Conway, Ajinkya Rahane, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni (C/WK), Shivam Dube, Dwaine Pretorius, Deepak Chahar, Mitchell Santner, Sisanda Magala, Tushar Deshpande.

Impact Players nominated by Mumbai - Ramandeep Singh, Sandeep Warrier, Arjun Tendulkar, Kumar Kartikeya and Nehal Wadhera.

TOSS - The two captains are out in the middle. The coin toss lands in the favour of MS Dhoni and Chennai have opted to BOWL first.

PITCH REPORT - Ian Bishop is near the deck. He starts by informing that the leg side boundary for the right-handed batter is short. Adds that the boundaries behind square are short as well. Shares that there is a lot of grass on the wicket but no big patches. Feels that the bowl will move a bit considering the grass but reckons that the ball will come nicely onto the bat if there is dew.

On the flip side, Chennai come into this game on the back of a solid win in their last outing against Lucknow. Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway have done well at the top, and Chennai will need Moeen Ali and Ben Stokes to bat around them. The pace bowling has not been clinical, but the spin of Moeen Ali and Mitchell Santner has been promising. Over the years, we have seen Chennai and Mumbai put on a show, and tonight’s fixture promises to be no exception. Who are you backing to come out on top? Stick around, as the toss and team news is not far away...

After having a miserable season last year, Mumbai took on Bangalore in their opening encounter, where they suffered a defeat. Tilak Varma though picked up where he left off, and he will require support from Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, and Ishan Kishan. The pace duo of Jofra Archer and Jason Behrendorff lacked sharpness and would want to put up an improved display. Five-time winners, Mumbai will look to reset from that loss and bounce back in their first home game of the season.

It’s time for the first El Clasico of this year’s Indian T20 League, where the league’s two most successful teams will lock horns and add another chapter to this rivalry's legacy. Hello and a warm welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to our coverage of Match 12 of the Indian T20 League, 2023, which sees Mumbai host Chennai at the Wankhede Stadium.

Time flies! Well, it certainly does in the Indian T20 League. It is now time for the 12th Match. In this game, Mumbai will be locking horns against Chennai. Mumbai are coming into this game with a loss on their back, but they will be glad that they are facing Chennai in front of their home crowd. Also, we know that these two sides only provide us with nail-biting thrillers, we shall expect nothing less this time around. Mumbai have started their campaign with a loss, this is nothing new for them and they will be hoping to open their account in this cracking encounter. Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan will be eyeing to set a solid platform, which allows the rest of the pack to flex its muscles as well. Also, Mumbai have a new entry in the squad, as Riley Meredith replaces Jhye Richardson. We will have to see if he will be included in the playing XI straightaway. Chennai, on the flip side, have the winning momentum on their side coming into this game. They have a great batting depth and could be dangerous if their batters get going from the word go. Will Mumbai be able to record their first win of the campaign? Or will Dhoni's men extend their winning run? We shall find out together.
