Such a game-changer should have been allowed to play up the order from the beginning of the season. Anyway, I am still expecting Lucknow to win this one.
I don't think there is any chance for Mumbai to win today's match. LSg team scored a huge total of 214 runs. And Mumbai's two openers also got off to a very good start. But right now the match is completely in the possession of LSG's bowlers.
Apart from Rohit Sharma, no other batsman can bat well in Mumbai's squad. Today Rohit got out after collecting 68 runs from 38 balls. And at the end of 16 overs now Mumbai Indians have lost 5 wickets and lost 35 runs. Captain Hardik batted badly today too. Hardik pandya returned to the dressing room after collecting 16 runs from 13 balls. Mumbai team must collect 80 runs in the last 4 overs.
I bet on today's match for LSG to win. But the way Mumbai's two openers started the innings today, I thought LSG might lose today and I would lose my money. But LSg's bowlers did not disappoint me today.
Mumbai batsmen have to collect 66 runs from 18 balls. Collecting 22 runs per over is very difficult. Also LSG bowlers are able to bowl very well today. Almost every bowler bowled well today. Ravi Bishnoi picked up two wickets. And Arshad gave only 11 runs in 2 overs. Krunal Pandya's bowling was also very good.
