Mumbai takes on struggling Rajasthan in the Tuesday encounter of Indian T20 League.
Team Preview
The shaky Rajasthan is ready for the big task against the defending champions who has three wins out of five. After a phenomenal show in Sharjah, Rajasthan lost two back to back games and in both affairs, they were purely dominated by the opponents. Mahipal Lomror was a big positive from the last game but Smith might see few changes in the side. He can bat at number three to send Yashasvi Jaiswal at the top. Uthappa and Parag might be dropped.
On the other side, high-flying Mumbai is coming off of a 34-runs win over Hyderabad and their top-order batsman De Cock also got his form, scoring a fine half-century. With a balanced unit, Mumbai is amongst the favourites who can surely make into the playoffs. Rohit-led side is likely to go ahead with the same XI on Tuesday.
Pitch Report
Abu Dhabi’s track is a batting-friendly wicket and it also offers slight help to spinners. Batting first is an ideal call on this wicket as the chasing a target of 180 plus would be tricky here.
Possible XI
Mumbai
Quinton de Kock (wk), Rohit Sharma (c), Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan, Kieron Pollard, Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya, James Pattinson, Rahul Chahar, Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah
