Mumbai Indians have been eliminated from the competition after their eighth loss of the season. They sit in ninth place with just six points from 11 matches — a deeply disappointing campaign for a star-studded squad that never found consistency. crictracker

Pitch Report — HPCA Dharamshala

The HPCA Stadium is one of the most batting-friendly venues in the country. The black soil pitch is hard and offers consistent bounce, allowing batters to play their shots freely. The high altitude means the ball travels faster through the air, making it a prominent six-hitting ground. Seamers get lateral movement with the new ball in both innings. Expect big scores and fireworks. crictracker
