AA vs NBB Dream11 Team Prediction of MPL 2019: Preview

By Pranob Thachanthara

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

NaMo Bandra Blasters ended fourth on the points table in the inaugural season of Mumbai Premier League and will hope to top the points chart this season. They will be led by flamboyant skipper Shreyas Iyer who will lead the team from the front with his bat as well as leadership skills. They have a strong batting unit comprising a talented bunch of youngsters like Eknath Kerkar, Nikhil Patil, Prasad Pawar, Sujit Nayak, and Siddharth Chitnis along with Iyer. Expectations will also be high from Aditya Dhumal to make handy contributions from the bat as well as the bowl. They will hope to begin the season on a winning note defeating ARCS Andheri tomorrow.

ARCS Andheri has not got a good start to their MPL’19 campaign losing their first match against SoBo Supersonics by a margin of 48 runs. Bowling first, Vineet Sinha and Tushar Deshpande were the only positives with the ball in an otherwise ordinary bowling effort to restrict Supersonics at 188. Chasing the target, Openers Herwadkar and Sheikh got starts but failed to convert into a big score. Pankaj Jaiswal also played handy cameo of 25 runs in 13 balls but was not enough to chase the big target and were left behind by 48 runs. ARCS will be determined to bounce after the poor defeat and give a tough challenge to NaMo Bandra Blasters.

A good match can be expected between both teams.
