Ranji Trophy 2019-20, Round 6, Elite Group A and B: Mumbai vs Uttar Pradesh– Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Tips – Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Update

Match Details:

The Round 6 Elite Group A & B fixture of the Ranji Trophy 2019-20 will be played between Mumbai and Uttar Pradesh at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

The match starts at 9:30 AM local time (04:00 AM GMT). This match can be streamed live on Hotstar.

Preview for Dream11 Fantasy

Mumbai and Uttar Pradesh will lock horns in the round 6 of the ongoing Ranji Trophy season at the iconic Wankhede stadium. Both the sides haven’t been in great from this season so far and are not even in the top seven in the points table in Elite Group A & B. While the UP have won only one match and drawn 14 with 13 points to their name, Mumbai have lost their way after beating Baroda in their season opener.

They lost to Railways and Karnataka before their clash against Tamil Nadu ended in a draw. Aditya Tare, the skipper, led from the front with the bat in the absence of top players in the line-up and they are likely to continue with the same XI for this game as well. The same could be the case with the UP after earning crucial points against Baroda on the basis of the first-innings lead.

Weather Report/Condition

The weather forecast in Mumbai for the next four days is absolutely clear. There is no chance of rain whatsoever while the humidity will be at its peak which is usually the case. The temperature will hover in the 30s during the match according to AccuWeather.

Pitch Report

There will be something in the surface for the fast bowlers upfront at the Wankhede. The previous game at the venue saw the home team for 114 and 198 with the pacers ruling the roost. However, with Mumbai struggling big time, it remains to be seen if a similar surface will be on offer once again.
