Here are the teams. Quite a few surprises.
Mumbai Indians: Rohit Sharma (capt), Quinton de Kock (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Krunal Pandya, Yuvraj Singh, Kieron Pollard, Hardik Pandya, Ben Cutting, Mitchell McClenaghan, Rasikh Salam, Jasprit Bumrah.
Delhi Capitals: Shikhar Dhawan, Prithvi Shaw, Shreyas Iyer (capt), Rishabh Pant (wk), Colin Ingram, Keemo Paul, Axar Patel, Rahul Tewatia, Kagiso Rabada, Trent Boult, Ishant Sharma.
So, to sum up: Yuvraj Singh and Quinton de Kock in for Mumbai, no Evin Lewis or Ishan Kishan. Rasikh Salam, the 17-year-old medium-pacer from Jammu and Kashmir, makes his IPL debut.
For Delhi, no Colin Munro, but Keemo Paul gets a game in a packed bowling attack with four seamers and two spinners. No Sandeep Lamichhane or Amit Mishra either, the legspinner's spot is instead taken by Rahul Tewatia, who's proven quite handy in past IPLs. Does their batting lack a bit of depth, though?

Mumbai ( Polly) vs Delhi (keemo) 3rd match IPL
7.30pm Mumbai Indians have won the toss and will bowl first.
Ahaan: "DD have gone crazy!! They're playing just 5 batsmen!!! They'll probably finish last this season too.." -- Very early to be saying that, but yeah, why do they need so many bowling options!
Manan: "MI has 8 batting options and 8 bowling options.. phew!!!"
Delhi Capitals 6/0 * (0.5/20 ov)

McClenaghan to Shaw, OUT, excellent response, the line goes a bit wider and the length fuller but well short of a driving length. Shaw has been eager to drive on the up today, but he stays a little leg-side of the ball at all times, and early in his innings that can make him play inside the line. He does so here, and gets a thin edge through to de Kock

Nice to see Keemo Paul playing. Cant do any worse than his counterpart, ahmm... Hetty, yesday.

McClenaghan to Iyer, OUT, fullish on off stump, and Iyer's cameo ends courtesy an excellent catch from Kieron Pollard at extra-cover. Looks for another lofted drive, but doesn't get the elevation this time, and doesn't get it far enough wide of Pollard. He throws himself to his right, and grabs it one-handed at about shoulder height

McClenaghan to Shreyas Iyer, out Caught by Pollard!! McClenaghan has his revenge! Must say that Pollard owns the credits for this wicket, a sharp catch diving to his right. Iyer will be disappointed, looked really good while he was there and this wasn't a wicket-taking ball either. Was pitched up for the drive and he couldn't keep the shot down. Was travelling towards the extra cover region where KP plucks it out. DC have been dented early.

McClenaghan to Ingram, 1 run, brilliant from Pollard! This was hit really hard by Ingram down the ground and the big West Indian at long-on got across quickly to stop it. Not sure if many fielders would have got to this but then, that's Pollard for you

Curious to see when he bats today.
Cutting to Ingram, OUT, picks out Hardik at deep midwicket picked it up from wide of off stump and wanted to send it several rows back, but there's no pace on the ball and he ends up getting height but not the distance. Hardik back-pedals and takes it, and is careful to not step over the boundary rope

Hardik Pandya to Pant, FOUR, just to tell people that he can hit it over the off-side too. It was a slower one wide of off, Pant delays his bat swing just a little bit and powers it wide of long-off for a boundary
15.4
Hardik Pandya to Pant, SIX, this wild heave from Pant is becoming a trademark shot for him. It was short and wide of off, Pant clears his front leg and hoicks it over deep mid-wicket for a maximum

McClenaghan to K Paul, out Caught by de Kock!! Paul's debut wasn't that fruiful. And McClenaghan has his third. He is a wicket-machine for the Mumbai Indians in the IPL. It was banged in half way down the track and was going across the right-hander, it climbs onto K Paul who attempts a pull shot

Bumrah to Pant, SIX, wow! Pant is on a roll here. Not many batsmen in the world can dispatch Bumrah for a six when he nails the yorker but Pant can! It was very full and was on the stumps, Pant goes deep in the crease and unleashes the half-helicoper shot over deep square leg for a maximum. Shot of the evening!
17.5
Bumrah to Pant, FOUR, fifty for Pant. One of the better T20 knocks you would see. It was a back of a length delivery on the body, Pant gets behind it and hals-pulls it wide of deep mid-wicket for a boundary

Rasikh Salam to Pant, FOUR, no need to run for that. It was a full-toss wide of off and Pant in this form is not going to let it go. He reaches for it and tonks it wide of long-on, it rockets to the fence
18.5
Rasikh Salam to Pant, SIX, going, going and gone! That's hugeeeeeeee! And tell you what, he has only used one hand. This is unbelievable power-hitting from Pant. It was a slower delivery wide of off, Pant takes it from wide of off, brings his bat down at an incredible speed and launches it over long-on for a six
18.5
Rasikh Salam to Pant, wide, too wide of off, wide called
18.4
Rasikh Salam to Pant, SIX, clears the fence with ease. How easy he makes it look. It was a length delivery on the stumps, Pant clears his front leg and dispatches it over deep square leg for another six
19.2
Bumrah to Pant, SIX, Pant has gone nuts at the Wankhede. Bumrah is been taken to the cleaners here from the southpaw. It was a fuller length delivery on the stumps, Pant goes back and pumps it over deep square leg for another maximum
19.4
Bumrah to Rahul Tewatia, SIX, oh dear! Rahul Tewatia is at it too. They are all at it. Tewatia goes down on his knees and slog sweeps India's fastest bowler for a maximum over deep mid-wicket

Ishant to de Kock, FOUR, de Kock is keeping Mumbai alive in this chase. He's dealing in boundaries and absorbing all the pressure. A short delivery around middle and leg, de Kock swivels and puts it away to the fine leg fence, the fielder was too square to cut this down

Rahul Tewatia to Pollard, SIX, clean as a whistle! Can Pollard do a Russell? Keeps his eyes on the ball and smokes the tossed up delivery right over the bowler's head. High, handsome and it's six runs for Mumbai Indians. Yuvi needs to hit a few of these if the hosts want to make a match out of it

Paul gets rid of Pollard for 21!

K Paul to Pollard, out Caught by Rahul Tewatia!! Excellent thinking from Paul! Goes for the knuckle ball, brave option against the big hitting Pollard who is clearly foxed by the variation. He was making room for a lofted stroke but had to adjust. Too late and the result is a chip that goes all the way to sweeper cover. Tewatia didn't have to budge

Paul bowling well. Good use of the slower ball.
13.5
Ishant to Krunal Pandya, FOUR, this is rubbish bowling! With third man up, the only thing you shouldn't do is provide width. Ishant does just that and it's a full toss too to compound the miseries for DC. Krunal throws his bat at it and gets a slice that beats the fielder to the fence
13.4
Ishant to Krunal Pandya, FOUR, low full toss and width on offer, Krunal won't miss out as he blasts this through the covers. Belted it away with disdain
13.1
Ishant to Krunal Pandya, SIX, outrageous hit from Krunal! Pacy short of a length ball and he was hanging back, smokes the flat-batted hit high and handsome over the long-on fence. Shot!
14.4
Boult to Krunal Pandya, FOUR, Yuvraj must be wondering what's going on. He's getting yorkers at his end while Krunal gets full tosses. Here is another and it's blasted straight over the bowler's head. Like a rocket to the fence it goes. He's keeping MI alive
14.1
Boult to Krunal Pandya, FOUR, Krunal is on the charge! Creating some momentum for MI but he has to bat deep. This is a yorker attempt gone wrong from Boult, a full toss and it's whipped away through the big gap at square leg
14.6
Boult to Krunal Pandya, out Caught by Rahul Tewatia!! The fun is over. Boult cleverly took pace off after a barrage of pacy deliveries. Krunal had to slog at everything, given the match situation and he hasn't connected this well at all. Mistimed and finds deep mid-wicket to perfection. Tewatia has been a busy man tonight near the fence. Is that the game?

Axar to Yuvraj, SIX, Yuvraj's got hold of this one! Flatter and outside off, he had to fetch this and did so. Chose the safest spot on the ground - straight back down the ground, crashing into the sight screen. Can the old warhorse create a fist of this chase?

Rabada to Yuvraj, out Caught by Rahul Tewatia!! Fourth catch for Tewatia. He's having a field day in the deep. Yuvraj's show is over, wasn't at his best really, rode his luck quite a bit but the important part was that he stuck in. Nobody else did barring Krunal and to an extent Pollard. This was a slog without any timing. Picked out deep mid-wicket with precision.
