Aakash Chopra has made a stern prediction ahead of the match between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings. He has backed Suryakumar Yadav and Cameron Green to have an impactful performance in today’s match.
On Saturday, April 8, the two teams will square off in the evening match at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium. Chennai Super Kings won the match against Lucknow but their bowling remains a concern.
Mumbai Indians are looking very shaky up to this point and will look to put on a show at their fortress Wankhede Stadium.
“Suryakumar Yadav and Cameron Green will together score 65 or more runs. There is bounce and pace on this pitch and helps for the fast bowlers. We did see India win the match against Australia here but the fast bowlers showed their charisma. So I am expecting more help for the fast bowlers once again.”
He also said that Deepak Chahar and Jofra Archer will have an impactful performance in the match. He said that both of them will pick up combined wickets of 3 or more in the match.
“Jofra and Chahar will together pick up three or more wickets. Deepak Chahar has had an extremely ordinary tournament thus far but it will not remain so. This is the surface that will bring the best out of him. So I am saying he will pick up at least one or two wickets,” Akash Chopra said.
He said that Jofra Archer will like to bowl on this pitch. He will dismiss one of the batters amongst Conway or Ruturaj feels Chopra. Ruturaj has struggled against the short ball and Jofra Archer will try bouncing out Ruturaj in today’s match.
“Jofra Archer will also like this pitch a lot. Get him to bowl with the new ball here because it will be necessary to dismiss at least one of Devon Conway and Ruturaj Gaikwad at the start. You can bowl bouncers to Ruturaj,” Chopra concluded.
