Team News:
Shivaji Park Lions
The Lions lost their first and only match to RCS Andheri by 4 wickets. Despite inconsistent contribution by the batsmen, they managed to add a respectable total to the board. It was the bowlers who dropped the ball. Poor economy rate and inability to break partnerships could be the cause.
Raunaq Sharma was especially expensive and might sit it out this match. Dube gave away too many runs too but he also took wickets.
Probable XI:
Siddhesh Lad (c), Shivam Dube, Vijay Gohil, Shivam Malhotra, Tanush Kotian, Rudra Dhanday, Swapnil Pradhan, Hardik Tamore (wk), Sachin Yadav, Raunaq Sharma/Gaurav Bengre, Siddharth Raut
NaMo Bandra Blasters
Two Matches. Two losses. When you are unable to defend 178 runs, you know you have a lot to work on. While the bowling was disappointing in the first match, batting fell apart in the second. Lower order players: Nayak, Chitnis and Dhumal tried to salvage the match but they ran out of deliveries. Captain Shreyas Iyer’s performance is overdue.
Probable XI: Siddharth Chitnis, Nikhil Patil, Sujit Nayak, Atul Singh, Shreyas Iyer (c), Aditya Dhumal, Eknath Kerkar (wk), Nikhil Date, Prasad Pawar, Sagar Chhabria, Saksham Jha
Top Picks
Nayak: His ability to have a good head to play with a steady hand when the top order batsmen failed makes him a reliable pick to your lineup. He’s a bowler that picks wickets as well.
Nikhil Patil: Impressive numbers at first-class cricket, Patil has contributed to Team NaMo sufficiently.
Aditya Dhumal: Dhumal’s contribution so far has been in vain as NBB has lost both matches. He is key to the team’s climb up the points table.
Prasad Pawar: It is important to pick players who can contribute in more ways than one. Pawar is that player you are looking for.
