TOSS UPDATE: Mumbai Indians won the toss and opted to bowl against Rajasthan Royals in Sharjah

Pitch Report | Murali Kartik: The pitch we are using has been used on two previous occasions, both times the team batting second has won. First one was the RCB-CSK game where 156 was chased and then recently the DC vs MI game. The surface has got a bit of sheen, not the old Sharjah sheen. Run-scoring has been tough, it does look dark and patchy. Don't think run-scoring is going to be easy. Anyone winning the toss is going to bat second.
