Players to watch out for

U Mumba – Amirmohammad Zafardanesh

U Mumba‘s raiding duties have primarily been carried by Sandeep and Ajit Chouhan. The support role of Amirmohammad Zafardanesh hasn’t been upto the mark. But the Iranian did a wonderful job in the previous game against Haryana Steelers’ whose defensive unit is one of the best in this season. He would want to continue his good form and the Panthers’ will be a worthy opponent to bring his best game.

Jaipur Pink Panthers – Nitin Rawal

It is not often one would see the skipper being on the bench after Toss and Nitin Rawal was doing such a role, before he returned to the starting seven in the last game against Bengal Warriorz. His presence restricted the movements of Devank Dalal as the raider failed to reach the super 10 for the first time this season. He will look to make such an impact against U Mumba as well.

Possible Starting 7

U Mumba –  Sandeep, Amirmohammad Zafardanesh, Parvesh Bhainswal, Sunil Kumar, Ajit Chouhan, Rinku Sharma, Vijay Kumar.

Jaipur Pink Panthers – Nitin Dhankar, Reza Mirbagheri, Aashish Kumar, Ali Samadi, Nitin Rawal, Deepanshu Khatri, Aryan Kumar.

Match Prediction

U Mumba will be favorites for the game with two back-to-back wins this season. They would want to make amends for the loss earlier this season against the Panthers in a Tie-breaker. A win could give propel them to the top-four as well.
