Flamboyant in their play, the Mumbai Indians are a joy to behold on the pitch. Expected to defend the league title this season, Sharmas men have lived up to the bill so far. Winning their previous four games on the bounce, MI occupy second-spot on the log. One of the most intense cricket games youd ever witness, Delhi Capitals were comfortably dispatched on the last matchday by this resilient MI squad. A close game it was, Mumbai edged out by a measly five wickets. Impressively, their players turned in a performance of the highest quality. Openers Rohit Sharma and Quinton de Kock in inspired form, their victory was never in doubt. That said, Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan have also weighed in with their own fair share of support. However, the trio of Kieron Pollard, Hardik Pandya and Krunal Pandya are still yet to get into their stride.
These ones have come in for the stick from fans and the media alike, for their woeful performances this season. In fact, the gauntlet has been thrown down on coach Anil Kumble, many calling for his sack. He obviously has no clue, going forward, as to getting his team back on the right track. Losing their previous five games on the bounce, KXIP currently sit rock-bottom on the standings. Losing their last match, as expected, KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal recorded a decent number of runs 115! However, their lack of consistency cost them in the end, as they eventually lost by a measly 2 runs. Following the dismissal of their openers, the middle order crumbled. With seven games already gone, it is pretty disturbing that KXIP are yet to discover their most efficient bowling combination. Rahul will be counting on Arshadeep Singh and Ravi Bishnoi to deliver the goods come Thursday evening. More cricket match predictions today can be obtained from the link provided.
