Mostafizur Rahman is waiting to get back on the field after a long vacation. The Bangladesh star pacer played his last match for Chennai on April 8. Chennai also took the field last on the day. After that wait and wait.
Mostafiz’s Chennai at Wankhede in Mumbai with a record of three wins in three matches. Where he and Chennai will have to undergo the ordeal.
Two reasons. First, the away match in Chennai. Second, Wankhede’s run-prosba wicket. All in all, this match is not only for Mustafiz, but for Chennai as well.
Chennai Super Kings have won three of the five matches played so far in the IPL. The two that did not win were played away from home. They lost matches against Delhi Capitals in Visakhapatnam and Sunrisers Hyderabad in Hyderabad. Apart from this, the home field has played three matches cheaply. The man in Yolora is as dominant as ever.
Bowling has become the main problem for Chennai in the away match. Delhi batted first against them in Visakhapatnam and accumulated 191 runs. Hyderabad chase down the target to win the match. Chennai batted first and scored 165 runs. Hyderabad reached that target in 18.1 overs.
Mustafiz played the away match against Delhi. Where it faded was his bowling too. He was the most expensive of the team with 47 runs in 4 overs. Gave 11 runs per over. Chipak’s wicket is ‘Mustafizbandhav’. He said. Slower is effective. The pace off the deliveries became terrifying. Elsewhere Mustafiz does not get that advantage. Wankhede does not have this facility. So, he will have to give a tough test in front of the batsmen today.
It is good to say that Wankhede’s small boundary field is as usual a run-in. So far the three matches that have been played in both the two hundred runs have been scored. Only the first match was played in Marmad. Mumbai then scored 234 runs against Delhi. Delhi scored 205 runs in reply. Bengaluru scored 196 runs in the next match. Mumbai chased that run in 15.3 overs to win. As a result, today’s match is going to float in a flood, it can be guessed. Because, both the teams have batsmen who can create a storm with the bat. Laughing at their bats will surely make the bowlers smile.
The star pacer of Bangladesh will get a chance to play a total of 4 matches including today’s match. After that he has to return to the country. He had a purple cap on his head till the last match of his game. This cap adorns the head of the top wicket taker of IPL. Played 4 matches for new team Chennai Super Kings. He got 9 wickets at the cost of 128 runs. 8 economy rate and 10.66 strike rate is performing great this time. It remains to be seen how Mustafiz fares in today’s test at Wankhede.
