BRD vs MUM Dream11 Prediction: Fantasy Cricket Tips, Today's Playing 11 and Pitch Report for Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2021-22 Elite Group B Match

Round 5 of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2021-22 will see Mumbai (MUM) take on Baroda (BRD) at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on Tuesday.

Baroda, following their heroics in the previous Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy edition, have disappointed with just one win in four games this season. They will be keen to flip the script with a better performance against Mumbai, who have banked on their batting might to gather eight points in four games. But with only a handful of group stage matches left for both teams, a loss on Tuesday could prove to be catastrophic in regards to qualification for the knockout phase. With both teams eyeing a big win, an intriguing game beckons in Guwahati.

Pitch Report

As seen in previous games, the pitch is on the slower side with spinners expected to dominate proceedings. The batters will look to make full use of the powerplay restrictions, with run-scoring being relatively easier against the new ball. Middle overs will be crucial to either side's fortunes, with wickets in hand being the key. Batting first upon winning the toss would be the ideal option, with 140-150 being par at the venue.

Wicketkeeper

Kedar Devdhar: Kedar Devdhar is an attacking batter who is known for his fast starts at the top of the Baroda batting unit.

All-rounder

Krunal Pandya: Krunal Pandya has been fairly consistent for Baroda, batting in the top order and picking up six wickets with the ball. The all-rounder will be key with both the bat and ball and given his recent form, he is a must-have in your BRD vs MUM Dream11 fantasy team.

Bowler

Tushar Deshpande: Tushar Deshpande has been the pick of the bowlers for Mumbai, picking up wickets at crucial junctures with his accuracy and clever slower balls. He will be keen to continue his form against Baroda, making him one to watch out for in this game.
