Meanwhile, Northern Superchargers have become Sunrisers Leeds. They also have a formidable line-up. Australia’s T20I captain Mitchell Marsh and England’s captain Harry Brook are in the team. Ryan Rickelton and Nathan Ellis are two overseas players who can be key to the team’s chances.

Kennington Oval, London: Pitch Report
The Kennington Oval is known for providing balanced surfaces, where the good pace and bounce allows batters to hit on the up. The new ball might swing around and opening batters will need to be wary. If they can get through the new ball, a lot of runs could be there for the taking.
MIL vs SRL: Head-to-Head Record
This is the first time these two teams will meet after Reliance Industries (owners of Mumbai Indians) bought the 49% stake in the Oval Invincibles and Sun TV Network (owners of Sunrisers Hyderabad) purchased 100% of the stakes in the Northern Superchargers. The teams have been renamed to MI London and Sunrisers Leeds, respectively.

MIL vs SRL: Probable Best Performers of the Match
Probable Best Batter: Nicholas Pooran
Nicholas Pooran is going to be the batter to watch out for on Tuesday. In the Major League Cricket (MLC) 2026, he amassed 424 runs in 11 innings at a strike rate of 147.74. In his last match in the campaign, he scored a magnificent century and will be high on confidence.
Probable Best Bowler: Trent Boult
Trent Boult did not have a memorable time playing for the Mumbai Indians during IPL 2026. However, he will enjoy bowling in English conditions and his spell with the new ball could turn out to be defining on Tuesday.
