Power Picks:

Sujit Nayak has been brilliant in all departments so far. He began with a 21-ball 50 and followed it with 27-ball 29 in the next game. In both the matches, Sujit claimed two wickets apiece. He could be crucial for the Bandra Blasters to succeed in this tournament.

Expert Advice:

This match includes Shreyas Iyer and Shivam Dube who come at 11 credits and the likes of Sujit Nayak and Siddhesh Lad at 10 credits. Iyer’s batting form is a concern but he might be bowling a few overs like in the last match. Lad can be excluded given his batting position. Both Sujit and Shivam are crucial as the duo make an impact with both bat and ball.

Probable Winners:

NaMo Bandra Blasters are expected to bring an end to their losing spree and open their points tally.
