Danav will be back to competitive cricket after almost an year.
Expectations? Acc to me gt best suitable attack for him he's gonna thrash them out.

Time to show 2019 ipl form

Siraj in last 6 PP's :

16 overs
139 runs
1 Wicket
Eco of 8.70
Avgs 139 with ball with a SR of "96"

Worse than Trash stats

Siraj is nothing but a parallel of Patidar in bowling, did great in starting 2 , but shitting continuously from there one.

Another reason why GT were consuming regular 180/200+

Also in T20is Siraj avgs 60 vs Jhonny Baba

Touchwood Match for Siraj 🤔

BTW the game has started, all eyes on Jaiswal, how he will pan out on Green decks of England with those British Conditions where the Duke balls swing enough to produce a tough batting surface specially for the Indians over the years.

Important day for mi & gt

While mi will be keen to break the jinx of losing consecutive matches against gt
GT will be looking to push one more win over mi ,

The most important players of today's encounter will be -

• pandya
( pandya in kos is a different beast & the skipper hadn't have a great ipl season this year though in initial games in the absence of bumrah he was leading the pace attack but since the comeback of bumrah in the team his only skill in this season has been of no use , the former captain is well aware about the dimensions of motera & he would like to roll his arms today )


• sai & gill
( buttler missing playoffs is a huge setback for gt , it directly adds extra pressure on gt's opening duo if you can get any of them under a low score i don't think they will go past 190 however mi should not take them lightly , sai is in sublime form and can turn around the things even in the absence of buttler )


• bumrah
( bumrah as always will be the center of attracton however him & his fans need to understand it's not just good eco that wins you match , you need to take big wickets as well otherwise the oppoents will just see off you spell & attack others just like they did at sms in mi's last game )


• rashid khan
( is in the list of most underperformers of this season and i'm sure he wants to get his mojo back in this game , rashid vs bairstow & rohit will be a battle to watch while in previous 2 encounters bairstow managed to save his wicket againt rashid but at the same time rashid also has been able to stop him for hitting biggies he avgs infinite vs rashid but has a sr of just 96 on the other hand rashid vs rohit matchup is even more interesting or should i say rashid owned him whenever they faced off each other in 8 inn rohit avgs 8.8 vs rashid at a sr of 109 )

And few other players to watch out in tonight's game are - boult , sky & prasidh

As for the result of this match - i see a dominating victory by mi , gt shouldn't be able to stop them .

Jonny struggles against left-arm bowlers, and we also know that Rohit has difficulties facing them.

I believe this was Arshad's opportunity; he could have made an impact with his length deliveries.

With Kusal coming in, I'm hoping he performs well, minnow basher me.

Shubhman Gill plays on his homeground today; Big Responsibility as a captain and a batter for him.

- Rohit Sharma needs 2 sixes to become the only second batter after chris Gayle to hit 300 ipl maximums

- Shubhman Gill needs 19 runs to complete 4000 T20 runs on Indian soil

The scoreboard may not show it

But gt literally bottled a very good start

2 drops of Rohit so far

Siraj was good in bits and pieces in his first spell ✅

These small small catch drops matter a lot at this stage.

You don't have any player who can bowl in PP, then why can't you adjust someone other than your top bowler?

Coetzee wasn't a bad option here. If he gets bashed, then it's better than your best bowler gets bashed.

Prasidh's strength was middle overs. Not starting overs. You used him in middle overs in league stages and suddenly you change his role in a Knockout match?

Rohit and jonny both are very very dangerous after being set;

Prasidh with the new ball isnt as good as he is in middle overs

Gill is doing mistake what Rohit did it with siraj on 19 nov? (Gerald should have start here in pp)

MI cooking Gt with 50 in just 3.5 overs. One sided game I say.

They just can't even coetzee isn't a new ball bowler they don't have any new ball bowler except siraj and he has been wicketless in last few matches.

Mi shd have introduced rashid here in pp not sai

He
Can uproot rohit imo
Or even stop runs

Jhangli Bhalu is performing exceptionally well by picking up the length effectively. He came into this match after a strong season with the red ball. I expected him to excel at picking length.

He's currently 44(17)*. GT doesn’t have players who can accelerate like this; we will surely miss Buttler. 😭

This dismissal goes to luck,or else Bluey was ready and up to devour.
Dominated the PP already,clean sweep for MI this phase.

He can win them the next matches singlehandedly,best playoffs signing for me.
HE IS HERE TO REDEEM🔥

15th consecutive 25+ score for SKY unreal consistency Best batter of the season already 650+ runs with 170 sr🙏.

Captain is ready for the t20 wc✅️

Just a simple formula of cricket "Catches wins you matches".

GT proved it wrong with their top 3 continuously this season in many games , but probably their time has come to say goodbye now.

You can't win the championship just on your batting, you need fielders to step up and contribute.
