As for team news, Rohit Sharma returns for Mumbai Indians and he replaces Anmolpreet Singh in the 11 from the match against CSK. KKR, meanwhile, remain unchanged from their match against RCB.

07-01 pm

TOSS: Rohit spins the coin and Morgan calls heads. And heads it is. KKR skipper Eoin Morgan has won the toss and elected to bowl first against Mumbai Indians.

07-00 pm

It’s toss time and Rohit Sharma is leading the Mumbai Indians.

06-58 pm

Toss is fast approaching and Rohit Sharma is seen warming up. Will he return for Mumbai Indians? He has a great record against KKR. Rohit is 18 runs away from completing 1000 runs against KKR.

06-56 pm

Pitch Report: Danny Morrison and Matthew Hayden reckon the new surface will see a battle of spin, but add that fast bowlers also pick up wickets in Abu Dhabi because it is a bit grassy with a slow tennis ball kind of bounce. But they concluded that the breeze and size of the boundary are some of the reasons for spinners being successful and batters may have a tough time.

Who is winning the battle for sixes tonight?
