Mumbai versus Delhi. Yes it's true that every season we lose initial few matches and the come back to reach knock offs or win trophies. I remember we lost 5 or 6 initial matches and then rocked the second half of season and went on to win IPL. So i think we will make the knockouts.
Gauti can steer the innings, Shreyas is the local boy playing against us. The Delhi bowling though is very weak. Rahul blowed it by making fastest ever 50 in IPL. With a lineup of Evin, Rohit, Ishan, Surya, Pollard, Hardik i hope it will not be much of a concern today.
Mayank Markande has been an amazing find by Mumbai talent scouts. Great work there by Mahela. He scouts spin talent well (Akila Dhananjaya from club level match also now with Mumbai Indian this yeart and now Mayank Markande of Punjab team who was shortlisted on radar during auditions before IPL). Every pundit thought we were short on spin talent and he has taken 7 wickets in 2 T20's.
On some wickets Akila and he will bowl together with Krunal giving some backup overs or even full spell on his day.
Wicket will be the key. Wankhede has give 200 plus due to ground being small. However, on some wickets here the below par scores have happened in past.
