Team News:

Mumbai Indians: Dwayne Smith, Kieron Pollard and Rohit Sharma are in good form this tournament. However, the poor form of Sachin Tendulkar, Dinesh Karthik and Ambati Rayudu is a worry for the team. They will be expected to step up when the team need them the most. Smith, Pollard and Sharma need to perform again with the batsmen struggling to convert their good start to big scores.

On the bowling front, Nathan Coulter-Nile took three wickets and Pragyan Ojha took two in the previous match, but overall. Other bowlers like Harbhajan Singh, Rishi Dhawan and Glenn Maxwell have failed to make their presence felt.

Trinidad and Tobago: Opener Lendl Simmons finally stepped up for the team in the previous match against CSK by scoring a well-crafted 63, while Evin Lewis scored 38 at the back of hitting a half century. Darren Bravo is also in good form. The team will bank heavily on these three and skipper Denesh Ramdin to perform in the semi-final match.

The team has Sunil Narine, Lendl Simmons, Ravi Rampaul, Samuel Badree, Yannick Ottley and Rayad Emrit in the bowling line-up. They will be expected to take early wickets and restrict the score of Mumbai Indians on Saturday.

Prediction:

Mumbai Indians are the favourites to win.
