The defending champions Mumbai takes on Bangalore in Monday’s encounter in Indian T20 League.
Team Preview
Struggling Bangalore square off against Mumbai in Monday’s encounter to get back on the winning track. After securing a close victory against Hyderabad in the opening encounter, Bangalore suffered a humiliating defeat of 97 runs after a poor show in all departments. The skipper tried to make changes in the batting order but it didn’t work out for his side. Bangalore requires a big knock from their captain to get back in the form. Morris might be available fro Monday’s game and he will replace Del Styen.
On the other hand, Mumbai was clinically good to Kolkata in the previous game where they posted 195, riding on Rohit’s 80 and Suryakumar’s 47. With the ball, Bumrah led the attack with Boult and Pattinson to give regular blows to Kolkata to shatter their batting order. Rahul Chahar was also effective with his spin. Rohit-led side is strong on paper with balanced unit and experienced pace-attack.
Pitch Report
Dubai International Cricket Stadium is a batting-friendly track. It offers a good amount of runs in both innings. Chasing might be tricky in big scores as we saw in a couple of matches where batting first sides had an upper hand.
