NMP vs NBB Match Prediction - May 17, 2019

This T20 Mumbai 2019 match between the North Mumbai Panthers and the NaMo Bandra Blasters is going to feature two of the most exciting young batting talents in the country and it will command a lot of attention.

The North Mumbai Panthers are going to be led by Prithvi Shaw while the NaMo Blasters are going to be led by Shreyas Iyer. Both these players play with each other for the Delhi Capitals in the IPL and had an excellent season as well.

Iyer, in fact, captained the Delhi Capitals to their first IPL playoff appearance in seven years and their first even IPL playoff victory (where Prithi Shaw scored a crucial fifty).

T20 Mumbai is not just about the big names, though, and there are going to be plenty of other players vying for the limelight. The North Mumbai Panthers won their first match by six runs while the NaMo Blaster lost their first match off the last ball.

NMP vs NBB Team Previews

North Mumbai Panthers

The biggest weapon for the North Mumbai Panther is their batting. Prithvi Shaw has already played a number of blistering innings at the Test level and the IPL. It is easily imaginable to see him do the same against bowlers that are far below the quality he is used to facing.

Shaw smashed four boundaries in his 12 ball stay and looked completely at ease. His biggest challenge will be to reign himself in a little and not try to hit every ball across the boundary. His early exit allowed us to get a look at some of the other players and there is a lot to like.

Ajinkya Patil, Sairaj Patil, and Karan Nade all played very well. Ajinkya Patil looks like the kind of player that can hold the inning together while Sairaj Patil has a lot of power, He scored 46 off just 18 deliveries with four sixes to his name.

Karan Nade bats at number seven and that speaks about the batting depth of the North Mumbai Panthers. His 50 off 23 balls has nine boundaries and no sixes. He is not the typical number seven batsman but definitely a useful player to have at this level.

Shahikhant Kadam is another player that we expect to see make a difference in the upcoming matches.

The bowling for the North Mumbai Panthers was not very good. Pravin Tambe went for a lot of runs, Prathamesh Dake was expensive, and Atif Attrwala also leaked runs. A much better performance will be needed against the NaMo Blasters that have a decent batting side.

Namo Bandra Blasters

It is difficult to see how the NaMo Blasters conspired to lose their opening match. Their batting got off to a poor start with Shreyas Iyer and Eknath Kerkar getting out cheaply but then the middle order staged an excellent recovery.

Prasad Pawar made 47 off 41 balls, Nikhil Patil was not out on 55 off 42 balls and Sujit Nayak smashed 52 off just 21 balls. Patil and Nayak hit seven sixes towards the end of the inning to help their side reach 176.

If Shreyas Iyer and Eknath Kerkar can also get into the runs then this is a very strong batting lineup. More importantly, this is a batting unit that has a lot of power to call upon. This is not something that is the case with every team at this level and can make a big difference.

Sujit Nayak has definitely attracted some attention after this knock and we think bigger things await him if he is able to carry his form through the tournament.

The fact that Iyer is opening the batting is also something we like a lot. His game is one where the chances of success are much higher than someone like Prithvi Shaw. Iyer’s ability against spin is also a big asset to have.

The bowling was not too good and even though they were a bit unlucky towards the end of the inning, we have no doubt the bowlers will take the blame of their loss in the first game. Nikhil Date, Atul Singh, Saksham Jha, and Sujit Nayak will be leading the bowling attack in this game as well.

The new ball bowlers must start better in this match because getting Prithvi Shaw early could be the difference between winning and losing. The death bowling also must be a lot improved.

NMP vs NBB Dream11 Prediction

Dream11 team for North Mumbai Panthers vs NaMo Blasters will definitely include the two captains and that is why they are not going to give anyone a big boost. It is the selection of the other players that will decide whether you end up winning or losing your Dream11 contest. We think we have identified some good players for this highly anticipated T20 Mumbai match-up.

Wicketkeeper: Ajinkya Patil and Eknath Kerkar are the two options to choose from in this category. Both of them bat in the top-3 and are god behind the stumps. Kerkar missed out in his first game and we think he may a better option for this Dream 11 team. He is aggressive and can get the big hits early as well.

Batsmen: Prithvi Shaw and Shreyas Iyer are automatic picks for this Dream 11 team selection. Not picking either of those players is a huge risk and we only advise you to do that if you have three or more Dream 11 teams entered into the contest. Vikrant Auti and Prasad Pawar are two other top-order batsmen that we have chosen in our team. Auti did not score too many runs in the previous match but comes with a solid reputation while Pawar looked in good touch and should be able to build on that.

All-rounders: once again, we have packed our Dream11 side with the maximum possible all-rounders. Shashank Kadam, Sujit Nayak, and Sairaj Patil are the three players that make our side. Nayak and Patil were very effective in the first game. They are powerful hitters of the ball and bowl regularly as well. Shashank Kadam failed in the opening game but we have enough faith in his game to pick him. He is one of those players that went under the radar and could be a differentiating factor for the side.

Bowlers: Saksham Jha, Nikhil Date, and Moondeep Mangela are the players we have picked in this category. All of these bowlers bowl in the powerplay and the death-overs thus having a good chance of picking up wickets.

Captain and Vice-captain: We have picked Prithvi Shaw as captain and Shreyas Iyer as vice-captain for this match. This is a safe choice and recommended for head to head contests. If you are playing the bigger lottery contests then go for an all-rounder like Sujit Nayak alongside one of the batsmen.

NMP vs NBB Betting Tips

Both the teams playing in this match have a strong batting lineup. They also have an India international player to lead the side and anchor its batting. A superlative performance from either one could end the match there itself.

Looking at the players around them, though, we think the NaMo Blasters have the better team. More power in the batting and the captaincy experience of Shreyas Iyer should tilt the scales their way.

Bet on the NaMo Blasters to win.
