North Mumbai Panthers have got a good start to the season defeating Eagle Thane Strikers by 6 runs in a high-scoring encounter. Batting first, Prithvi Shaw, Vilas Auti and Ajinkya Patil got starts but failed to convert into a big score. Sairaj Patil and Karan Nanda played quick cameos of 46 and 50 from 18 and 23 balls respectively to take the team to a good total of 190. In defense, Pace duo of Atif Attarwala and Dake bowled lethal spells taking three and two wickets respectively to ensure a 6-run win for Panthers.

Batting first, Prasad Pawar and Nikhil Patil played good knocks of 47 and 55* respectively after a shaky initial start. Sujit Nayak played brilliantly, in the end, scoring 52 runs off just 21 balls to give a target of 177. Defending the target, Blasters pacers failed to restrict opponent resulting in the last-ball chase. Sujit Nayak was the only positive with the ball along with Jha and Dhumal. NaMo Bandra Blasters will come all guns blazing tomorrow to defeat Panthers and open their account in MPL’19.

NaMo Bandra Blasters:

Place of Nikhil Date and Atul Singh is risky and Yash Malap or Kash Kothari can replace them in the playing XI.

Aditya Dhumal, S Chitnis and S Chabria will play the role of an allrounder.

Aditya Dhumal will handle the spin department along with Chitnis, Chabria, and Sujit Nayak while Atul Singh, Nikhil Date, and Saksham Jha will lead the pace attack.

North Mumbai Panthers:

Allrounder Neil Narvekar can get a chance in place of Swapnil Salvi in an otherwise perfect playing XI. Chances of same are less. Talented Yash Jaiswal is also waiting on a bench for his opportunity.
