Preview of MI vs SRH - Match No 17

  

                                               

               Match no 17 between MI and SRH would be exciting to watch. As MI’s strong batting line up will face one of best bowling line up of IPL 2020, it’s interesting to see how many runs will be scored by MI considering short boundaries of Sharjah.

                                               

                                                           MI team Analysis:

Strength: With all batsman are scoring consistently, they will try to score 200 + for tomorrow clash.

Weakness: Probably their bowling line up is not as good as SRH on cards. Though Krunal and Rahul Chahar have done decent job in last match, but I think they need bowler like Rashid Khan who can be economical and wicket taker.

Opportunity: I think its opportunity for De Kock and Yadav to prove their worth as Chris Lynn is already knocking the door.

Threat: As Hardik is not bowled a single over in IPL-2020, they have limited bowling option. If any of their regular bowler leaked many runs then that will be difficult for them to compensate.

                                                  

                                                                SRH team Analysis:

Strength: Bowling line up.

Weakness: Their top 4 batsman haven’t been played up to that mark. If MI team scored 200-210 then it will be difficult for SRH to chase that target.

Opportunity: Considering advantage of ground, it will be opportunity for Bairstow to score big as he likes to play towards Log on and Mid-wicket region.

Threat: Middle order. Even though middle order has shown their worth in the last match, but still they have to put lot of runs on scorecard and SRH is the team which has hit least sixes in IPL 2020.

 

Venue: Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah – Short boundaries and no dew effect

Toss: Generally Team will bowl first on this ground.

Average score on Ground: 200 +

Probable XI (MI):  de Kock, Rohit, Yadav, Kishan, Pollard, Hardik, Krunal, James Pattinson, Rahul Chahar, Trent Boult, Bumrah

Probable XI (SRH): Warner, Bairstow, Pandey, Williamson, Garg, Abhishek Sharma, Samad, Rashid, K Ahmed, Natarajan, Sandeep Sharma / Bhuvi

Who is favourite?

On account of Ground dimension and Strong batting line up, MI team have better chances to win this clash.
