Augsburg is having a weak season and is fighting a desperate fight for survival, in which Markus Weinzierl’s team has so far been successful. With 29 points the Fuggers are 14th in the table, being three points clear of the relegation zone. A very important victory by “Augsburg” was won in the last round over “Wolfsburg” (3:0), thanks to which they managed to move away from the edge of the abyss.
MI lost two games and that’s not unusual for a team known for slow starts in the IPL. However, three games in a row are starting to get really worrying and MI will be separated to fight back. They seemed to have the match in the bag against Delhi Capitals and were also on course to win against the Rajasthan Royals. We believe that a match where its parts come together is at the door. Rohit Sharma leads a very strong batting lineup that also includes Ishan Kishan, Tilak Varma, Kieron Pollard and Tim David. They miss Surya Kumar Yadav and there’s a chance that he might be available for this game. Even if he isn’t available, the team would believe they have the ammo needed to win. There will be pressure on Pollard, David and even Sams. These are the overseas hitters/all-rounders currently playing for MI. Pollard has been a shadow of his former self for some time, while Sams and David have not been able to translate other leagues’ successes to the IPL. There are a number of players waiting in the wings like Dewald Brevis and Jaidev Unadkat who could get a game. As bettors, we’re not going to write off the Mumbai Indians’ batting just yet. The bowling lineup is led by Jasprit Bumrah and Tymal Mills, both in good form with three wickets each. Daniel Sams and Murugan Ashwin also bowl decently without too much reward. It will be very interesting to see if Basil Thampiu manages to keep his place in the team. His only over went for 26 in the previous match.
