Having already played seven matches in the tournament, Mumbai Indians need to bring in consistency to their campaign. A win tonight at home against the Kolkata Knight Riders would definitely help after they beat Kings XI Punjab in their previous game.

Knight Riders, on the other hand, have won four out of five and are comfortably placed in the second spot. Their only loss came against Mumbai Indians on their own home turf. A win tonightwill send them to the top ahead of the Gujarat Lions on run rate. They overcame a spirited Rising Pune Supergiants outfit to record a thrilling two-wicket win in their previous game but they will be hoping to get one past the home side tonight in this reverse fixture.

Rohit Sharma has a tremendous record at the Eden Gardens against Mumbai Indians but hasn't scored even a single fifty in five attempts at the Wankhede against the same opposition. Can he set the record straight tonight? Gautam Gambhir had lot of nice things to say about the elegant right-hander ahead of the game.

Mumbai Indians opt to bowl considering the dew that could have an impact later in the day. They are unchanged but Kolkata have brought in Chris Lynn for this game. He replaces Morne Morkel. Piyush Chawla makes way for Jaydev Unadkat.

Kolkata Knight Riders (Playing XI): Robin Uthappa(w), Gautam Gambhir(c), Suryakumar Yadav, Chris Lynn, Shakib Al Hasan, Yusuf Pathan, Andre Russell, Rajagopal Sathish, Jaydev Unadkat, Umesh Yadav, Sunil Narine

Mumbai Indians (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma(c), Parthiv Patel(w), Ambati Rayudu, Jos Buttler, Kieron Pollard, Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya, Harbhajan Singh, Tim Southee, Mitchell McClenaghan, Jasprit Bumrah

Gambhir is a lucky man! Will he make it count though? He pulls McClenaghan but manages to get a top edge. Four or five players try to come under it but the bowler wants to take it himself and lets the ball slip through his hands. He is disgusted with himself.

The openers have delivered again for the Knight Riders. Robin Uthappa in particular,is looking in amazing touch and has already hit two sixes. KKR have scored 59 in the powerplay.

Parthiv Patel had a great chance to run Uthappa out but missed it. But the right-hander fails to grab the opportunity and holes out to long on where Pollard takes a simple catch. Much-needed breakthrough for the Mumbai Indians. Shakib Al Hasan is in at number three.

KKR wanted to promote Shakib up the order and gave him the license to after the attack from ball one. He tries to pull Pandya's bouncer but gets an edge to Parthiv instead. Suryakumar Yadav is the new man in. It's his home ground.

Suryakumar Yadav and Gambhir have helped Knight Riders rebuild after that double blow. The score is past 100 now after 12 and this is the perfect platform to launch in the final eight overs. They have Lynn, Yusuf Pathan and Russell to come in after this.

What a tournament Gambhir is having! Another half-century tonight and it has come at the right time. He was under a little bit of pressure to press on the accelerator and he did it to perfection with a six and a four off Krunal Pandya.

Rohit senses the situation and brings back his premium strike bowler McCleneghan into the attack and he responds with the big wicket of Gambhir. He departs for a 45-ball 59 but Russell comes in. Can he wreak havoc tonight?

Southee replaces his fellow Kiwi and takes out Suryakumar Yadav with a short ball. Mumbai keep chipping away with the wickets and they need two more if they are to reduce Knight Riders below 160. joins Russell in the middle. Can he give his side a glimpse of what he did in the Big Bash a few months ago?

Top class delivery from Tim Southee to get rid of the dangerous Russell. The West Indian was looking dangerous and had raced to 22 in quick time but Southee comes around the wicket and bowls a full length delivery targeting the leg stump which takes a beating. Yusuf Pathan is in. Can KKR get to 180?

Tim Southee had a nightmare in the field as he dropped two catches off two deliveries. KKR reach 175 but they should have got 12-15 more considering the start they made and the firepower they had. MI will be pretty pleased with this since the wicket is too good to bat on and if the dew has an effect, they will be the outright favourites to chase this down.

Oh the glorious uncertainties of cricket. One day you walk up, ride your luck and register your highest IPL score and two days later you hope that your new-found confidence will carry you, only to edge a wide delivery and fall for a single-digit score. Parthiv goes early. Fantastic start for Umesh. Although, it wasn't all that great a delivery.

Ominous signs for KKR as their tormentor from the earlier game, Rohit Sharma, has started rather fluently. Following a pulled-six off Unadkat, the Mumbai Indians skipper eased into elegant cuts and drives off Umesh Yadav to give the chase early impetus.

Shakib ends the dangerous stand! Mumbai Indians were running away with the target but KKR have made the vital breakthrough. Suryakumar Yadav has taken a superb catch at wide long on near the fence to send Rayudu back. Krunal Pandya gets a promotion ahead of Buttler.

Sunil Narine puts the brakes on MI's scoring rate! He tosses one up inviting Krunal to hit him but the left-hander misses it and loses his stumps. The gamble has not paid off tonight. Jos Buttler is in. This is the key moment in the game as these two need to steady the innings.

Chris Lynn has pulled off a blinder! This is something similar to what he did in the 2014 edition. Buttler hits one straight to long onwhere Lynn takes the catch but he realises that the momentum will take him past the boundary rope, so he throws the ball inside the field of play, goes beyond the boundary but quickly comes in and completes the catch. This could well be a game changer!

He does it time and time again! And KKR have already seen it all over the years including their home fixture when he struck an unbeaten 80. And tonight, it looks like Rohit Sharma could pull off another run chase as he gets to his half-century.

One bad gamble can cost you the game! It looks like KKR have lost the plot with that one. Gambhir asks Sathish to bowl the 16th over but he gets thrashed for three sixes by Kieron Pollard which has brought down the equation to 26 from 24. MI are the favourites from here.

That was absolute carnage at the end from Kieron Pollard as he hits three more sixes off the very next over to get to his fifty off just 17 balls and with that the Mumbai Indians pick up a comfortable victory with two overs to spare. They have done the double over the Knight Riders now. That should sting. And Rohit Sharma once again proved to the thorn in their flesh. With this win, the Mumbai Indians bid farewell to Wankhede for this season as the rest of their home matches will be played at a different venue.
