#4 A plethora of match winners
Mumbai Indians have been there done that in a crunch final situation two times before whereas Pune don’t have much experience of reaching the playoffs, let alone playing in the final. Pune have a lot of younger uncapped players in their ranks whereas Mumbai Indians have a balanced team of internationals who have proved their worth on the biggest of stages.
Simmons proved he can handle pressure in big matches last year in the T20 World Cup semis against India while Sharma and Rayudu have done that time and again for Mumbai.
Pollard is a match winner in himself whereas Hardik Pandya has often won games with bat and ball for both club and country. Then there's Johnson and Bumrah where one starts with the new ball with intent and the other finishes it off with swagger.
This makes the Indians having players who have played in crunch pressure situations before and emerged victorious whereas the Supergiant might find it tough when they are pinned against the wall tonight.
