Adds that Bhuvneshwar Kumar is injured and Mohammad Nabi comes in the side.

Adds that they want to express themselves and will try and do whatever they can with the bat. Says that their batting has let them down in UAE but it can happen with anyone. Informs that there are two changes. Krunal Pandya and Piyush Chawla get in the side. Saurabh Tiwary and Jayant Yadav miss out
Hyderabad (Playing XI) - Jason Roy, Abhishek Sharma, Manish Pandey (C) (IN PLACE OF BHUVNESHWAR KUMAR), Priyam Garg, Abdul Samad, Wriddhiman Saha (WK), Jason Holder, Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi (IN PLACE OF KANE WILLIAMSON), Umran Malik, Siddarth Kaul.
Mumbai (Playing XI) - Rohit Sharma (C), Ishan Kishan (WK), Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Kieron Pollard, Krunal Pandya (IN PLACE OF JAYANT YADAV), James Neesham, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Jasprit Bumrah, Piyush Chawla (IN PLACE OF SAURABH TIWARY), Trent Boult.

Pitch report - Pommie Mbangwa is down for the pitch report. He says that the pitch looks like a good one to bat on. Laxman Sivaramakrishnan joins him and says that there is a bit of grass on the wicket and it is quite hard. Adds that the ball will onto the bat nicely and there will be plenty of runs here.
Suryakumar Yadav is there for a chat. He says that nothing changes and they were doing the same things that they usually do. Tells that contribution for the team is very important and this year, he has not performed that well and he wants to get back to form. Says that he thinks that staying consistent is the key at this stage of his career. Says that they need to go all out.
This is also the first time that two games in the Indian T20 League will be played simultaneously! Abu Dhabi will see Hyderabad taking on Mumbai while Dubai will play host to the clash between Delhi and Bangalore. While the two teams in Dubai have qualified for the playoffs, Mumbai still have a slim chance. Hyderabad will be full of confidence after beating Bangalore and they would look to finish on a high.
Hyderabad have had a tough tournament, winning just three games so far and now they would want to end the season on a high. They won their last game against Bangalore and also reduced their chances of ending in the top 2. Now, Williamson's men would look to spoil the party for Mumbai as well. Hyderabad lost a close game the last time they met in India. But got over the line quite easily when they last met Mumbai in UAE back in the 2020 season. Will they make any team changes? Will David Warner return for what might be his final game in Hyderabad's colours? We will find out.
A miracle! Yes, that is what Mumbai need to qualify! They are up against the odds in match 55 of the Indian T20 League. Mumbai need to beat Hyderabad by 170 runs or more to go above Kolkata on net run rate and if they chase, they will be eliminated. That looks pretty impossible right but in a league like this, we have seen plenty of unbelievable things and we just cannot rule out a miracle here at Abu Dhabi. All odds are stacked against Mumbai and it is likely that Mumbai won't qualify but we can be assured that we are in for a fighting contest between Mumbai and Hyderabad.
