Mumbai Indians v Deccan Chargers IPL Game 59th at Mumbai Preview and Tips

The Mumbai Indians will look to shrug off their defeat against the Kings XI Punjab in their previous game when they play the bottom-placed Deccan Chargers in the 59th game of the Indian Premier League this season. The game will be played at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.  

Mumbai v Deccan odds:
Despite the crushing loss to Punjab, the Mumbai Indians (2/5 at 888Sport) will go into the game as favourites. They have won eight of their 11 games and that defeat was an aberration at worst. Two losses against lowly-placed oppositions – and the Chargers (12/5 at SportingBet) are nothing if not that – will be hard to digest for the side.  

Ground and Pitch:
Expect some bounce, pace and carry on the Wankhede pitch and both, the batsmen and the bowlers should have a good time there.  

Player News:
Mumbai can be expected to go into the game with a similar line-up. If at all there is a change, it could be with the bowling, but the batting should remain the same. Aiden Blizzard has given glimpses of what he is capable of in the previous couple of games and there is a good chance that if Sachin Tendulkar can bat reasonably long and guide him, a quick-fire 50 is around the corner. 

That said, the middle-order will need to take more onus on themselves if Tendulkar and Ambati Rayadu get out early – like what happened in the Punjab game. Andrew Symonds could be the man to watch out for. 

The Deccan Chargers, on the other hand, have not been helped by their captain’s lack of tactical nous – getting in DB Ravi Teja at the top of the innings hasn’t made too much sense, nor has the demotion of Sunny Sohal down the order. What has clearly worked for the Chargers, though, is the ouster of Cameron White, as his replacement JP Duminy, has done a decent job of it in the last few games. 

They need a much better effort from Dan Christian at the end of the innings to be able to make that difference between a moderate 150 and a potentially match-winning 165.
 
Prediction: 
Mumbai Indians should win this game with ease.
