Player Predictions for the Eliminator (Mumbai v Kolkata) – http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820
Mumbai Indians http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Knight-c71599 Riders at their home ground in an eliminating encounter of the fourth edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Wednesday.
Mumbai and Kolkata have done pretty well in the current season and finished at number three and four respectively in the points table after the league matches. However, all of their hard work is at stake in this do or die match.
The Indians appear to have a slight edge on paper because they are a side which is full of match-winners and players who can turn the course of the match on their own. However, the Knight Riders cannot be under-rated either as they have been in good form
this year.
Some of the players to watch out for this encounter are as follows:
Mumbai Indians
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sachin-Ramesh-Tendulkar-c87800
He is one of the greatest cricketers in the history of the game and has been in sublime form in the current season.
In a http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Adam-Griffith-c919 game like this, teams look at their big players to take the responsibility on their shoulders.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Chinnadupargea-Sachin-c50607 has been the captain of Mumbai since the first season and would love to lift this trophy in its fourth effort. He is also the leading run scorer for his team this season.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/P-Rohit-Sharma-c80557
The right-handed middle order batsman lost his place in India’s limited overs lineup after an unimpressive tour of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 earlier this year, but he has displayed his talent in style in the current season for Mumbai.
Sharma is one of the most talented http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Young-c98322 Indian batsmen and many cricket pundits think that he is going to make a huge name for himself in future. His performance in the current edition of IPL has earned him a place in India’s limited overs squad for the
tour of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 next month.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-Symonds-c44611
The Aussie all-rounder was once considered amongst the most feared batsmen of the world.
However, he does not seem to be in the same touch at this stage of his career but one expects him to showcase his class at franchise level cricket at least.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KA-Pollard-c1754
A true match-winner, he can change the course of the game within minutes. Mumbai’s management would be hoping that their explosive striker finds the middle of the bat against Kolkata in this crucial fixture.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ambati-Rayudu-c1007
After hitting a last ball six against Kolkata to snatch the victory for the Indians, Rayudu’s confidence will be sky high. He has been doing brilliantly for the Indians since the previous season and a compact middle order batsman like him is extremely valuable
for any team.
Rayudu is also on the verge of national selection and a strong candidate for a middle order spot in India’s limited overs squad. He would be charged up to perform out of his skin in order to get noticed by selectors.
