The Kings were missing their regular captain Shikhar Dhawan, as he has been out injured, Sam Curran won the toss and elected to ball first. The home side made two changes with Jonny Bairstow and Atharva Taide making way for Rilee Russouw and Mumbai came with the same squad they played in the last game. Both teams have struggled with form and wanted a win on the night.
