13-Sep-2014 - CL T20 - Mumbai Indians v Lahore Lions

In the previous editions of CL T20 Pakistan teams have fared poorly. Enter the most consistent team of Pakistani domestic T20 circuit [CSK of Pakistan??]. Heavy hitting top order, experienced fast bowlers, an gem of a domestic spinner unknown to the world (and sub continent advantage) makes Lahore Lions.

The main problem that they have lies with their in experienced middle order. Also this team comprises of purely Pakistani players. The lack of foreign internationals creates the image that this team is an Pakistan B team. So the Pakistan team's over aggressive approach, spectacular collapses (or victories) may get reflected in this teams performances as well.

The favourites to win this match Mumbai Indians also have their own problems. Captain Rohit sharma injured and out the tournament. Since he opens the innings for MI,  the batting order needs to be adjusted a bit. Lend Simmons has cemented his place as the opener. But the lower middle order batsmen Ambati Rayudu, Corey Anderson, Pollard have to clean up the mess that may be created by a brittle top order. Mumbai's strength undoubtedly in this tournament will be their bowling with Malinga, Ojha and Harbhajan.

Tip: I would avoid this match since the odds are very short on MI @ 2/5 - BetVictor.com.
This match is going to test which side has a lot of weaknesses in their batting.

If one still wants to enter this match do some price fishing on MI when In-Play with low stakes.
