Mumbai's head coach has confirmed that three senior players return to training ahead of Saturday's fixture, with the captain emphasising that balance rather than experimentation will decide the late-season combination.
What Mumbai said
The pre-match briefing focused on combinations rather than individuals. We reproduce the parts of the press conference that are relevant to the selection decision and omit the parts that are not.
Squad shape
With three matches left in the league stage, Mumbai's net run rate works in their favour but their fixture list is the most difficult in the group. We set out the four scenarios that determine the final-four race.
Remaining fixtures
Saturday's fixture, a Tuesday match-up, and a final-round game on Friday. The shape of the side will not change drastically from the combination announced at the toss, but the balance of the attack could shift on conditions.
