A vastly changed Pune Warriors side will bat first at home against Mumbai Indians, on a pitch expected to play slow. Warriors are out of contention for the playoffs already, sitting at last place, but a win for Mumbai could take them to second place. Warriors made five changes to the side that lost to Kolkata Knight Riders in their last match, but it was the sole new name in Mumbai's XI that commanded most attention. Million dollar signing Glenn Maxwell gets his first match in the tournament, as Kieron Pollard is forced to sit out with illness. For the hosts, Abhishek Nayar and Manish Pandey replace Udit Birla and Mitchell Marsh among the batsmen, and Kane Richardson, Ashok Dinda and Ajantha Mendis come in for the bowlers.Pune Warriors: 1.
