Mumbai Indians, who were asked to bat first, made one change to their playing XI. Alzarri Joseph came into the side to replace the unavailable Lasith Malinga. On the other hand, Sunrisers fielded an unchanged side.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar bowled a good first over producing a chance off the final ball but a drop by Siddarth Kaul gave Rohit Sharma another life. Mohammad Nabi did not allow Rohit to cause further damage as the Afghan spinner dismissed the Mumbai skipper in his very first over.
In the very next over, Sandeep Sharma dismissed Mumbai's No.3 Suryakumar Yadav to gave his side the second breakthrough. Quinton de Kock and Ishan Kishan, who replaced Yuvraj Singh, tried to stabilise the innings but the settled opener was dismissed by Siddarth Kaul in his very first over.
