Mumbai Indians (MI):
The five-time champions, Mumbai Indians (MI) started their campaign as the favourites, however, the combination has lacked several areas and doesn’t look like a team to beat this season.
With four wins in seven games, MI stands in the fourth slot in the points table.
The worrying factor for MI would be the availability of kiwi players in the IPL 2021.
Trent Boult is a key bowler in the Mumbai set-up and has made consistent appearances for the team in the last two years.
New Zealand will have their schedules against other teams due to which the pacer is likely to miss the second leg.
Boult’s kiwi mates Adam Milne and James Neesham are also on the same page.
Players likely to miss the UAE leg: Trent Boult, James Neesham, Adam Milne.
