Johnson got Dussen (13) caught by Rishi Dhawan at the score of 29.

Mumbai Indians won the toss and invited Lions to bat. Both teams remain unchanged.

Mumbai lost to Rajasthan Royals in the opening match of the tournament and the IPL champions will be desperate to pick up their first win to stay in the hunt.

The Alviro Petersen-led Lions are aware that the players will have to play out of their skins to beat the star-studded Mumbai Indians. Neil McKenzie, Petersen, Quinton de Kock and Gulam Bodi are the main players, besides Sohail Tanvir and Lonwabo Tsotsobe - the two key bowlers.

Highveld Lions: Rassie van der Dussen, Quinton de Kock, Neil McKenzie, Hardus Viljoen, Alviro Petersen, Jean Symes, Sohail Tanvir, Imran Tahir, Dwaine Pretorius, Aaron Phangiso, Lonwabo Tsotsobe

Mumbai Indians: Dwayne Smith, Sachin Tendulkar, Dinesh Karthik, Rohit Sharma, Ambati Rayudu, Kieron Pollard, Harbhajan Singh, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Rishi Dhawan, Pragyan Ojha, Mitchell Johnson
