Indian T20 League 2022: Mumbai vs Kolkata Fantasy Cricket Match-Ups

Bottom-placed Mumbai will meet struggling Kolkata in match 56 of the Indian T20 League 2022 season. Daniel Sams' last-over heroics against Gujarat helped Mumbai register back-to-back wins. Ishan Kishan, Tim David, and R Sharma shone with the bat, while Murugan Ashwin claimed 2/29. Meanwhile, Kolkata picked up just two points from their last seven outings. The Shreyas Iyer-led side, ninth in the points table, suffered a crushing defeat against Lucknow on Saturday.

Let's look at five key Rummy Bo fantasy cricket Match-Ups in the Mumbai-Kolkata match.

R SHARMA VS S IYER

R Sharma's brisk 43 against Gujarat was his highest score in the 15th edition. It was also just the third time he went past 50+ fantasy points. Kolkata skipper Shreyas Iyer has struggled to convert his starts into big knocks in the last few games. The franchise's leading run-scorer hasn't been able to register big knocks in the two games played at DY Patil Stadium this season.

Verdict: S Iyer has the advantage in this Match-Up.

T VARMA VS T DAVID

An interesting Match-Up is on the cards as 19-year-old Tilak Varma is up against Tim David. Tilak has brought up two fifties - 61 and 51* - in three matches at DY Patil Stadium this season. Meanwhile, David's quickfire knock steered Mumbai to a challenging total against Gujarat. Came to bat at No. 6, the Singapore-born cricketer hammered four sixes and two boundaries. 

Verdict: T Varma is likely to emerge victorious against T David.

I KISHAN VS S NARINE

Sunil Narine broke a 71-run stand and struck 22 runs in the heavy defeat against Lucknow.He remained economical again, conceding just 20 runs in his four overs. Ishan Kishan, on the other hand, brought relief to himself as he made 45 and played a crucial role in the dismissals of Hardik Pandya and Rahul Tewatia against Gujarat.

Verdict: S Narine is the favorite in this Match-Up.

N RANA VS D SAMS

Nitish Rana has managed to reduce Kolkata's over-dependence on Shreyas Iyer as he scored a half-century and a match-winning 48* recently. Mumbai left-arm pacer Daniel Sams, too, has been excellent in the last few matches in the Indian T20 League. He successfully defended nine runs in the final over against Gujarat and has five wickets from three innings at DY Patil Stadium. 

Verdict: D Sams is the favorite in this Match-Up.

A RUSSELL VS SURYA K YADAV
