SAU vs TN Dream11 Prediction : Saurashtra Vs Tamil Nadu Best Dream 11 Team for Grand League

SAU Vs MUM Dream11 Prediction: Mumbai’s agonising and underwhelming season stand in peril of being wrapped up against Saurashtra.

This has turned out to be a languishing season for Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy. Floundering in the trenches of Elite Group A and B with a singular win form six encounters, the club are fast running out of time of making it into the ensuing stage of the tournament.

While they have managed to draw three encounters in succession with their previous encounter against Himachal Pradesh being mauled by inclement weather, Mumbai know draws aren’t going to help their cause in any way. They need two wins to throw their cap into the reckoning for a spot in the ensuing round, ones which look unachievable given their current form.

And when they come across third placed Saurashtra who have the three wins in 6 matches, Mumbai know things are going to get only murkier for them. Saurashtra comes into the affair having defeated Baroda the last time around by 4 wickets as they chased down the 200 run target laid down infront of them.

Probable Winner

Given the identity of this surface, we envision Mumbai managing to scram their way through to yet another draw. Saurashtra will come down hard on them with the ball but we envision Mumbai having more than enough in their pool of resources to stick it out in the middle with the bat.

Pitch Conditions And Toss

A pinch perfect surface for the batters, this is a hard, nice and solid brown wicket where the batsmen will flourish. The team winning the toss will be opting to come out and bat first with the wicket tending to wane off and open up for the bowlers who take pace off the ball.

Probable Playing 11

Harvik Desai, Avi Barot, Snell Patel (WK), Divyaraj Chauhan, Sheldon Jackson, Arpit Vasavada, Prerak Mankad, Chirag Jani, Jaydev Unadkat (C), Dharmendrasinh Jadeja, Chetan Sakariya

Mumbai
