Bottom-placed sides meet in match 59 of the Indian T20 League 2022 season. Chennai, ninth in the points table, hammered Delhi by 91 runs in their previous game. Mumbai, on the other hand, succumbed to a 52-run defeat against Kolkata a few days ago. The defending champions beat five-time winners in the first meeting between both teams this season.
We pick five exciting First Games fantasy cricket Match-Ups in the Chennai-Mumbai match.
R GAIKWAD VS J BUMRAH
Ruturaj Gaikwad and Jasprit Bumrah square off in this Match-Up. The opening batter, who struck 41 off 34 balls against Delhi, has amassed 241 fantasy points in Chennai's last three games. Mumbai pacer Bumrah crushed Kolkata with his maiden Indian T20 League five-wicket haul. He has reached the double-digit mark in the 2022 campaign.
Verdict: J Bumrah is likely to pick up more fantasy points than R Gaikwad.
S DUBE VS T VARMA
Shivam Dube made a quickfire 32 to steer Chennai towards a 200+ total against Delhi. He is also 21 runs away from 300 runs in the 15th edition. Teenager Tilak Varma hasn't been prolific with the bat in the last two matches for Mumbai. He had registered a half-century in the first meeting between Chennai and Mumbai this season.
Verdict: T Varma has the edge over S Dube.
D CONWAY VS MOEEN A
Devon Conway has been outstanding since returning to the Chennai playing 11. He has scored a hat-trick of half-centuries. All-rounder Moeen Ali, too, has been impressing fantasy cricket players. The Englishman grabbed 94 fantasy points against Bangalore and clinched a three-wicket haul against Delhi.
Verdict: Moeen A could emerge the winner in the Match-Up against D Conway.
M THEEKSHANA VS T DAVID
Maheesh Theekshana and Tim David face off in an overseas Match-Up. The Chennai spinner picked up the wicket of David Warner and conceded 29 runs in four overs against Delhi. David, who scored an unbeaten 44 against Gujarat last week, could only muster 13 with the bat against Kolkata.
Verdict: M Theekshana is the favorite in this Match-Up.
M CHOUDHARY VS D SAMS
Mukesh Choudhary has climbed to second in Chennai's wicket-takers chart after picking up 2/22 against Gujarat. He has 13 wickets in 10 outings in the ongoing season. Mumbai pacer Daniel Sams picked up plenty of fantasy points in Mumbai's last match. The Aussie took a wicket and grabbed two catches.
Verdict: D Sams could win the Match-Up against M Choudhary.
Did You Know? D Sams has bagged a four-wicket haul against Chennai this season.
