Pitch Report

A good batting track is expected in Guwahati with some help on offer for the bowlers as well. The batters will look to attack from ball one with the ball likely to skid on nicely to the bat early on. As the match progresses, spin will play a more significant role, a contest which may have a big say in the outcome of the match. Both teams will look to chase upon winning the toss with 160-170 being a good total at this venue.

Today’s KAR vs MUM Dream11 match top picks

Wicketkeeper

Aditya Tare: Aditya Tare is one of Mumbai's most experienced batters and is capable of batting in any position. With Prithvi Shaw and Ajinkya Rahane likely to feature in the top order, Tare's ability to play the big shots makes him a good option in Mumbai's middle order and in your KAR vs MUM Dream11 fantasy team.

Batter

Prithvi Shaw: Prithvi Shaw comes into the tournament on the back of a decent IPL 2021 campaign. However, he will be keen to continue his fine form and throw his name into the national reckoning in the shortest format, making him a good option for your KAR vs MUM Dream11 fantasy team.

All-rounder

Shreyas Gopal: Shreyas Gopal is one of the best spinners going around on the Indian domestic circuit. In addition to his imperative leg-spin, he is a handy batter as well, adding to his case for inclusion in your fantasy team.

Bowler

Prasidh Krishna: Prasidh Krishna didn't have the best of IPL campaigns, being dropped midway through the season for Shivam Mavi. However, the Kolkata Knight Riders pacer is a good asset to Karnataka with his death bowling skills bound to earn him a wicket or two in this game.
