NBB vs SPL Dream11 Team Prediction of MPL 2019: Preview

By Pranob Thachanthara

Hello and Welcome to our preview for NaMo Bandra Blasters vs Shivaji Park Lions match. We are covering NBB vs SPL Dream11 Team Prediction, Preview and Probable Playing XI for the T20 match. The match is to be played at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

Shivaji Park Lions lost their only match yet in MPL’19 against ARCS Andheri by 4 wickets. Batting first, Swapnil Pradhan played a good knock of 44 runs opening the innings while Raunaq Sharma scored a quick 51* from 30 balls to give a target of 160. Defending the target, Shivam Dube took two scalps and was supported by Raut, Kotian, and Gohil but could not save the target for their team. Shivaji Park Lions will hope to put a good show tomorrow and open their account in MPL’19.

NaMo Bandra Blasters are on the bottom of the points table with two losses. They lost their last encounter against North Mumbai Panthers by 27 runs. Bowling first, Spin trio of Dhumal-Nayak-Iyer bowled well taking two scalps each to restrict NMP at 175. In the chase, Blasters Top-order failed miserably and were limping on 24/5 before Siddharth Chitnis played much-needed knock of 50* runs and was supported by Dhumal and Nayak to lead the team to a total of 148 runs but were ultimately left behind by 27 runs. Bandra Blasters will hope to eliminate their weakness from previous losses and come strongly against Lions tomorrow.

A good match can be expected between both teams.
