Mumbai dropped an injured Sachin Tendulkar and brought in Aditya Tare. Dwayne Smith's been rested too, giving Glenn Maxwell a second chance.
The winner of this contest will be assured of not just the playoff berth, they will also get the privilege of finishing in the top two and earning themselves the cushion of getting two cracks to contest the final.
On the face of it, it's a battle between a team that loves playing at home (MI are unbeaten in seven games at Wankhede this season) and another (Royals have lost four of their six away games) that doesn't like travelling.
Mumbai Indians: Dinesh Karthik, Aditya Tare, Rohit Sharma*, Glenn Maxwell, Kieron Pollard, Ambati Rayudu, Harbhajan Singh, Mitchell Johnson, DS Kulkarni, Lasith Malinga, Pragyan Ojha
Rajasthan Royals: Rahul Dravid*, Ajinkya Rahane, Shane Watson, SV Samson, Stuart Binny, Brad Hodge, Dishant Yagnik, Kevon Cooper, JP Faulkner, AA Chavan, PV Tambe
