TEAMS PREVIEW

India Masters Preview

Sachin Tendulkar will be happy with his team's performance in the last game. The batting lineup performed brilliantly in the last game and made 222 runs batting first. However, Tendulkar would expect a better show from his bowlers in this game as they struggled with their line and length.  

Ambati Rayudu and Sachin Tendulkar got out cheaply in the last game, and the team expects a better show from the pair at the top. The middle order looks good, and the team expects partnerships between Gurkeerat Singh Mann, Stuart Binny, and Yuvraj Singh. Yusuf Pathan played a match-winning knock in the last game and will look to add quick runs with Irfan Pathan in the lower middle order.  

Stuart Binny and Dhawal Kulkarni leaked runs in the last game, and the team expects a strong start from the new ball pair. The middle overs are crucial, and the team expects better spells from Abhimanyu Mithun, Irfan Pathan, and Vinay Kumar. Yusuf Pathan and Shahbaz Nadeem add variety to this bowling attack.

England Masters Preview

Eoin Morgan and his team will begin the campaign in this game and look to put up a strong show. They are up against the strongest team in the tournament and must bring out their best performance to win. They will need a good show from the bowling attack to win this game.  

The team will need a good start at the top from Darren Maddy and Phil Mustard as they take on the Indian bowling attack that struggled in the last game. Kevin Pieterson is a good striker and will look to do well in the middle with Eoin Morgan and Ian Bell. Tim Bresnan and Dimitri Mascherenas will look to do the big-hitting in the lower middle order.  

The team expects early wickets from Steven Finn and Ryan Sidebottom on the bowling front, as the Indians have a strong batting lineup. Monty Panesar will look to use the conditions to his advantage and do well in the middle overs with Stuart Meaker. Mascherenas and Tim Bresnan add depth to this bowling attack.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

We expect a warm evening in Mumbai. The wicket will be flat and easy to bat, with the ball coming onto the bat nicely. Bowlers don't have much room for error on this wicket, with the average first-innings score of 156 runs. The team batting first will need 180 runs on the board to feel safe.

INDM vs ENGM Pitch Report

Dr DY Patil Sports Academy, Navi Mumbai, is a good venue for the batters. Though the wicket can surprise them with its dual-paced nature, they have done well. Fast bowlers rely on their variations to earn rewards on this surface. It has been a happy hunting ground for the spinners as the ball can turn sharply.

Toss: To Bowl

The side chasing the score has won the last five out of eight games. The surface gets flatter as the game progresses, and bowling gets tougher when the dew sets in. The side winning the toss would look to bowl first on this wicket.
