MCA vs VDB Match Preview
The top order of Mumbai is in good form, and during no stage of the match did they appear to be under any pressure. While Prithvi Shaw scored a half-century in the first game, it was Yashasvi Jaiswal in this one, scoring an unbeaten 66.
One area of concern for the Mumbai team is likely to be the bowling department.
The Vidarbha team lacks the big performers who could instill a sense of fear within the opponents. Aman Mokhade has been the star batsman for them so far, getting good starts, but has failed to convert those starts into a big score.
However, the weakest link for them is the bowling department, which has been giving away too many runs.
Weather Report
The weather is expected to be clear, with no rains forecast.
Pitch Report
The pitch at Rajkot has always been batting-friendly. The flat pitch offers consistent bounce and is unlikely to change much during the game. However, the spinners might find some aid from the rough patches later on. 170 is a very good total on this surface.

Dream11 Prediction
We think Mumbai has an excellent chance of winning this match. The advantage that it has in its batting power is clear to see. Both teams have a vulnerable bowling attack that can be taken advantage of.
Top Picks
Prithvi Shaw - 218 runs in three innings, one century, a strike rate of over 200, and an average of over 100. Is there anything else that needs to be said?
Yashasvi Jaiswal - A match winning knock of 66 in the previous match shows that Jaiswal is in good form. Well worth having in your Dream11 team.
Akshay Karnewar - Easily the best bowler in the Vidarbha team, Akshay Karnewar could be a good differentiator in the team
