Toss Prediction
The Wankhede Stadium is a famous venue for chasing. Teams would prefer bowling first and it’s a no-brainer. The captain that wins the toss would certainly opt to field first.
Probable Best Batter
Suryakumar Yadav has been out of touch in his recent outings. But this would be a perfect opportunity for him to find his form. At this venue, the ball comes on to the bat very well and that’s when Suryakumar flourishes.
Probable Best Bowler
The ball swings early at the Wankhede and the new ball has troubled the MI batters in the recent past. That’s when Deepak Chahar would be a major threat. He could well come into his own if the ball moves in the powerplay.
