IPL 10, Match 2, RPS v MI: Mumbai Indians Predicted XI

Tim Southee

The new ball bowler from New Zealand is definitely a force to reckon with but in pitches where there is no lateral movement and swing, he might struggle. Especially in the T20 format, the right arm pacer provides the team with a sensational start on occasions and at times goes for plenty of runs in the powerplay.

He needs to work a bit on his death bowling as the former CSK and RR bowler has been smashed mercilessly by opposition batsmen especially during the end overs. With the bat in hand, Southee has the ability to clear the boundary ropes and can provide the franchise with some crucial runs lower down the order. In his IPL career so far, Southee has bagged only 19 wickets in 26 matches at a below par average of 43.
