Mumbai Indians skipper Sachin Tendulkar has won the toss and elected to bowl first against the slumping Kings XI Punjab at the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium in Chandigarh.
Having already secured a place in the play offs the Indians will be looking to strengthen their chances of finishing in the top two of the IPL groups standing which will leave them just one game away from the final.
