TEAMS PREVIEW

SoBo Mumbai Falcons Preview

Shreyas Iyer's team is in excellent form. They have won three consecutive games and sit on the top of the points table. They defeated Triumphs Knights MNE by 4 wickets in the last game. The side will look to book a berth in the semifinal with a win. Iyer would want his players to guard against complacency and stick to basics.  

Angkrish Raghuvanshi batted well in the last game, and he looks forward to delivering a good start to the game with Ishan Mulchandani. Shreyas Iyer adds firepower to the batting, and he will look to do well in the middle order with Shreyanssh Rai and Harsh Aghav. Vinayak Bhoir and Akash Parkar are good hitters and shall look to add quick runs.  

The bowling attack has delivered the goods in all games. The team needs early strikes from Siddharth Raut and Nikhil Giri to put the Thane Strikers under pressure. Yash Dicholkar and Kartik Mishra will look to do well in the middle overs. Vinayak Bhoir and Ishan Mulchandani complete a strong attack for the team with their variations.

Eagle Thane Strikers Preview

Atharva Ankolekar's team suffered its first loss this season after two consecutive wins. The bowling attack let them down in the last game against the Mumbai South Central Maratha Royals by 6 wickets. They are up against the strongest team in the tournament and must put their best foot forward to win.  

The team needs a good start in the game from Varun Lavande and Aaryaraj Sanjay Nikam, as they face a strong bowling attack. Anish Mukund Chaudhery and Shashikant Kadam did well in the last game and look to add runs in the middle order with Sairaj Patil. Atharva Ankolekar and Vinay Kunwar must add quick runs in the lower middle order.  

Harsh Tanna struggled with the new ball in the last game, and he must do well in the opening spell with Shashank Attarde. Shivansh Lallan Singh and Atharva Ankolekar must play important roles in the middle overs. The team will also expect a good show in the ing role from Amit Pandey and Sairaj Patil.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

We expect a warm evening in Mumbai. It will be a flat surface, with the ball coming onto the bat nicely. Bowlers will have a tough time on this surface, with the average first-innings score of 158 runs this year. The team batting first will need 180 runs on the board to feel safe.

SBMF vs ETS Pitch Report

Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, is one of the best T20 venues for the batsmen. The boundaries are smaller here, and the pitch is flat, allowing batsmen to play their strokes easily on this surface. Fast bowlers need to be smart on this surface, while spinners get the ball to stop on the batsmen and turn sharply.

Toss: To Bowl

The side chasing the score has won the last four out of six games. The surface gets flatter as the game progresses, allowing teams to chase big totals. The side winning the toss would look to bowl first on this wicket.
