CHE vs MUM 11Wickets Fantasy Cricket Tips: Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Update – Indian T20 League 2020, Match 41

Match Details:

The 41st match of the Indian T20 League will be played between Chennai and Mumbai at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium.

This game is scheduled to start at 07:30 PM IST (06:00 PM local time) (02:00 PM UTC). The game will be telecasted on the Star Sports Network (Available in English, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Bengali). Also, live streaming will be available on Disney+ Hotstar VIP.

Preview:

Chennai, one of the most decorated teams of the Indian T20 League, have been fan favourites for many years now. Year after year, they have performed brilliantly, making it to the playoffs in every season that they played in. But, this time around, things are not looking good for them at all. Pegged at the bottom of the points table, with 3 wins in 10 games, their chances of making it into the playoffs are almost over.

On the other hand, Chennai’s opponents in this match, Mumbai, who had the history of staring off the tournament on a sketchy note and then winning a string of matches to get into the playoffs, have performed well right since the start. They have played 9 matches and have won 6 of those. So, in this match, it would be a really tough task for Chennai to get past the might of Mumbai, as the team looks to be well set and eyeing their 5^th tournament win this season.

CHE vs MUM Match 41 Weather Report:

A full-length match is very much on the cards for Friday, as the weather is expected to be clear and the chances of rainfall are just 10 per cent. The temperature will be around the 28 to 31 degree Celsius mark.

Pitch Report:

The pitch at Sharjah has been batsmen friendly over the years, but in this season of the Indian T20 League, the chasing teams were finding it difficult to score runs here. But, over time, due to the wear and tear, the pitch has become friendly for the chasing teams too. So the bowlers will have to be on the lookout for every single opportunity they have to take wickets and cut the flow of runs.
