Mumbai Indians will be without three crucial players who have regularly featured in the playing XI – Will Jacks, Corbin Bosch, and Ryan Rickelton. Jacks will be part of the limited-overs series against West Indies, while Rickelton and Bosch are included in South Africa’s squad for the WTC final at Lord’s Cricket Ground. To fill the gaps, MI brought in Charith Asalanka, Richard Gleeson, and Jonny Bairstow.

Punjab Kings (PBKS) will be without Marco Jansen, who is part of the WTC final against Australia. They have not named a replacement.
