Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune.
On a downward spiral after suffering their fifth loss of the season, debutants Rising Pune Supergiants would look to plug the holes in bowling to get their campaign back on track when they face title-holders Mumbai Indians in an Indian Premier League match.
Led by the talismanic Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Rising Pune Supergiants did not have the best of starts in their debut season, losing five of the seven matches they played so far.
The Pune outfit is presently languishing at the sixth spot in the eight-team standings with just four points, while their opponents for tomorrow's game, Mumbai Indians, are lying third with eight points from as many games.
With the business end of tournament nearing, time is running out fast for Pune to get a series of wins and return to the top four reckoning. Rising would fancy their chances against Mumbai Indians having comfortably defeated them by nine wickets in the opening match of the tournament.
But it would be easier said than done as Dhoni faces the difficult task of selecting a balanced bowling combination which would deliver results for him.

Ankit Sharma, Baba Aparajith, Murugan Ashwin, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ankush Bains, Rajat Bhatia, Scott Boland, Deepak Chahar, MS Dhoni, Ashok Dinda, Faf du Plessis, Peter Handscomb, Jaskaran Singh Singh, Mitchell Marsh, Albie Morkel, Ishwar Pandey, Irfan Pathan, Thisara Perera, Kevin Pietersen, Ajinkya Rahane, Ishant Sharma, RP Singh, Steven Smith, Saurabh Tiwary, Adam Zampa
