Mumbai Indians has earned 8 points till now in IPL 2019 with four victory and two defeats. They had a good start to the season compared to their previous season where they usually begin the tournament by ranking at the bottom.

MI will look to win as many matches as they can in the initial stages, so that they don't have the pressure of winning the game later on in this tournament to make it to the playoffs. Good thing for Mumbai is that their all-rounder Kieron Pollard is back in form as the Caribean batsman played a responsible inning in MI's last game against Hyderabad and Punjab respectively. Pollard scored 83(31) against KXIP for which he was also awarded the Man of the Match.
