Match Details:

The Round 12 Elite Group A and B game of the 2019-20 Vijay Hazare Trophy will be played between Mumbai and Kerala at the Just Cricket Academy in Bengaluru.

The match starts at 9:00 AM local time (IST) (3:30 AM GMT).

Preview for Dream11 Fantasy:

Losing the last game to Karnataka by just 9 runs would have been quite hurting for Mumbai. This hasn’t been the best of seasons for them as they won only two games out of six and only have 12 points to their tally. In their next encounter, Mumbai will square off against Kerala. Even Kerala isn’t in a great position in this edition of the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2019-20.

They might have won three games out of the six that they have played. But are still below Mumbai on the points table because they have slightly lesser NRR. Thus, a win is extremely important for both the sides in this upcoming fixture. One could expect tough competition and a good game of cricket.

Weather Report

Even though there is rain prediction throughout the week in Bengaluru, clear skies are expected on Monday. The humidity is on the higher side early in the day. The conditions should be good for a cricket match.

Pitch Condition/Report:

It isn’t the easiest surface to bat on at the Just Cricket Academy. Batsmen should be cautious and selective with their shots. Rather than aiming at huge scores, teams should look to get to a respectable total.
