TEAMS PREVIEW

Andhra Preview

Andhra are heading into the game on the back of more impressive performances. The victory over Kerala has put the team as a clear leader in the standings with a four-point advantage. The team will be looking to build on the same with a crucial game against Mumbai. The strength of the bowling lineup came to the fore in the game against Kerala.

KV Sasikanth was able to pick up three wickets and take his season’s tally to 12 for the campaign following an impressive performance. He has now been able to pick up his best figures for the season and it has improved his average to 13.33. Cheepurapalli Stephen could not add to his nine wickets but he remains a key player for the home team nonetheless.

On the batting front, Srikar Bharat helped Andhra navigate the tricky pitch with a decent foundation at the start. His 56 runs from 33 balls proved to be a major factor in Andhra managing to end up comfortably with a victory after just 13 overs. He is now the leading scorer for the team with 210 runs from his five innings this season.

Andhra Predicted Playing XI:

Srikar Bharat, Ashwin Hebbar, Shaik Rasheed, Pyla Avinash, Ricky Bhui (c), Bodhala Kumar, KV Sasikanth, SDNV Prasad, Satyanarayana Raju, Kodavandla Sudharsan, Cheepurapalli Stephen

Andhra Actual Playing XI:

Shaik Rasheed, Ricky Bhui, KS Bharat, Pyla Avinash, Ashwin Hebbar, KV Sasikanth, Cheepurapalli Stephen, Satyanarayana Raju, Bodhala Kumar, SDNV Prasad, Kodavandla Sudharsian

Mumbai Preview

Mumbai were able to get a crucial victory over Services that kept them in the hunt for the top spot. Despite having fallen four points behind Andhra, Mumbai expected to be confident coming into the game. The team now has a great opportunity to overtake Kerala, who were the only team to inflict a defeat upon Mumbai so far in the 2024 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.

After seeing a collapse by the top order, Mumbai were rescued brilliantly by the partnership between Suryakumar Yadav and Shivam Dube. Once again, the batting strength of Mumbai was displayed very well in this comfortable victory. Despite none of the top three batsmen failing to put in a total of more than 25 runs, Mumbai almost hit 200+ for the innings.

On the bowling front, the team has a new t leader in the wickets leaderboard as Shardul Thakur has now moved up to 11 wickets for the season from his five innings. However, the team are struggling to put together another great combination in his absence.

Mumbai Predicted Playing XI:

Prithvi Shaw, Ajinkya Rahane, Shreyas Iyer (c), Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dube, Suryansh Shedge, Mohit Avasthi, Shardul Thakur, Tanush Kotian, Shams Mulani, Hardik Tamore

Mumbai Actual Playing XI:

Shreyas Iyer, Prithvi Shaw, Ajinkya Rahane, Suryansh Shedge, Shams Mulani, Hardik Tamore, Tanush Kotian, Shardul Thakur, Mohit Avasthi, Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dube
