Guntur born Ambati Rayudu is on fire. Wonderful innings. Rayudu should be in Indian team. All are classy shots. Test prospect.

 

 

Abhimanyu Mithun was disastrous in IPL 4. His 3 overs in 2 matches costed 40 runs. Another promising story ended abruprtly.

 

 

David Jacobs destroyed Zaheer Khan – 2 fours and 1 sixer in 3 balls. But, Dirk Nannes takes care off Jacobs – clean-bowled.

 

 

Zaheer Khan played for RCB in 2008 and played for MI in 2009 and 2010 and is now playing for RCB.

 

 

Poor fielding by Sachin Tendulkar, David Jacobs and Munaf Patel - 3 unnecessary fours. Each run is crucial in T20 cricket.

 

 

Wonderful bounceback by Munaf Patel. He gave just 3 runs in 2 overs. His bowling was pathetic against Delhi. But, his fielding is too pathetic.

 

 

IPL 2011 Prediction: Mumbai Indians will win the match by 4 wickets.

 

 

Ratings for Captains & T20 Teams:

 

 

MI: Captain – 8/10 & Team – 9/10

 

 

RCB: Captain – 8/10 & Team – 8/10.

 

 

Mumbai Indians will clash with Royal Challengers Bangalore at Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore. Both teams easily won their first games against Delhi and Kochi respectively.
