Each team has played almost 7 games apiece and sme have played more tha that. But taking the seven games each player has played into consideration, I made the following teams and boy, the Indian team looks world-beaters for sure, and that is without Veeru and Gauti and the top.
As far as the World Xi is concerned, lots of surprises. Where are the likes of Steyn, Albie, Smith, Warnie, Pietersen, Jayasuriya, Oram, Gayle etc. Almost half of the team members would surprise themselves. But hey, it is the name and not the form that counts.

Mumbai Indians vs Bangalore Royal Challengers
DAy night
Wanderers, Johanseburg
The first game here yesterday has beaten the predictions. Everyone predicted that the at least on this ground, the bat wins over the ball and Gauti at the toss also did a sensible thing by chasing. He was quite happy at the halfway stage but they just threw away the game when it really matterred.
Toss: If Mumbai wins the toss I think they should bat first as they lost both their games chasing. Bangalore would also want to bat first as they would be aware of that fact and they themseleve lost 2 games chasing.
Form:
Mumbai Indians: WLWLDW
They have 5 completed matches so far and they have been winning every alternate game. So they should be keen to set that straight.
