Mumbai Team News
Chasing 207, Mumbai got off to the worst possible start against Delhi when they were restricted to 17-4 with all their main batsmen back into the hut. Shivam Dube, with his 63 took Mumbai to a respectable score but they lost the match by 76 runs even then.
While they still possess a strong batting lineup where there is not any scope of change, bowling can be addressed by few changes. Kruthik Hanagavadi was both wicketless and expensive and if anything, his place could be uncertain in today’s match. Mumbai would back themselves for a strong comeback with the quality the possess.
Kerala Team NewsÂ
Kerala had a fairly easy start against Puducherry but there is a huge difference in quality between Puducherry and Mumbai and hence, they will be well tested in today’s match. The highlight of the last match was the comeback of S Sreesanth to competitive after 7 years.
Kerala also have a quality batting lineup with the likes of Robin Uthappa, Sanju Samson, Sachin Baby and Vishnu Vinod up their ranks. Vinod will be an even better player if he opens the inning. With bowlers like Sreesanth, Jalaj Saxena, Basil Thampi and KM Asif who have a fair share of playing T20 cricket, this contest promises to be an exciting one.

MUM vs KER Pitch Report
Wankhede pitch has often been a good batting wicket with a fair share of assistance for fast bowlers too early on. Both these teams have played one match each and we saw Delhi scoring over 200 runs in the first inning against Mumbai. Since it’s winter, dew also falls in the night matches making it harder for the spinners and easier for the batsmen. Make sure you pick a lot of batsmen and fast bowlers in your Dream11 team but you can’t ignore any quality spinner either.
