Over the years, @mipaltan have made some excellent overseas purchases. The trade last year of Quinton de Kock is one of the better ones.

So like for like changes then....at last Coulter-Nile gets a game for Pattinson, Green plays a similar role to Narine as does Mavi to Nagarkoti. The temperatures have come off and there is no significant advantage here for batting first.

The Mumbai vs Kolkata live-action will kick off at 7:30 PM (IST). Both sides are coming on the back of contrasting results from their last games. While Mumbai are coming on the back of a solid win over Delhi by five wickets, Kolkata got hammered in their last match at the hands of Bangalore by a whopping 82 runs.
Mumbai are placed at the second spot on the Dream11 IPL points table with 5 wins and 2 losses. On the other hand, Kolkata are sitting at fourth place on the Dream11 IPL points table with 4 wins and 3 defeats. Ahead of Friday's fixture, here is a look at the Mumbai vs Kolkata weather forecast, Mumbai vs Kolkata pitch report and details for the Mumbai vs Kolkata live scores and the match's live streaming details.

Pitch Report
According to the Mumbai vs Kolkata pitch report, spinners will play a massive role in deciding the fate of their teams. There is enough spin in the Abu Dhabi wicket and spinners should look to bowl slow. Pacers will be lethal initially, which is why the batsmen should see off the new ball and get settled at the crease before shifting gears.
The average first-innings score at this venue in the Dream11 IPL 2020 has been 169. The teams batting first have won five games while the sides chasing have triumphed on as many occasions.
