We’re halfway through the 2019 Mumbai T20 League and today we got another double header at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium. Aakash Tigers come into Match 13 with only one victory under their belt from 3 games so far. This victory came in their opening game and since then, they’re on a losing streak of two games, the latest being their lost to SS by 10 runs a day prior.
Now, they play North Mumbai Panthers in the first game of the week and this team has been on a roll in MPL 2019 thus far. They have 2 wins in 3 games and will be looking to get back to winning ways after losing the last to ARCS Andheri.

Stats
- Arjun Tendulkar has 59 runs and 1 wicket in MPL 2019.
- Kaustubh Pawar has 78 runs in 3 games in MPL 2019.

- Pravin Tambe has gone wicketless in 3 games of MPL 2019 so far.
Aakash Tigers
One of the biggest names in the team is Arjun Tendulkar and he has been able to kick start his innings in all three game but not carry on. Also, from a while quota of 4 overs, he has been brought to just 1 over in the last game. Expect his role to slightly decrease as this tournament goes on. Pick the new openers Aakarshit Gomel and Kaustubh Pawar, both of who have been brilliantly consistent. Gomel is also part of the bowling attack, so he is worthy of being made vice-captain.
Shams Mulani and Dhawal Kulkarni are the most popular picks for bowlers from this team as they come with a lot of experience. However, they have only 1 and 3 wickets in this tournament respectively. Nehal Katakdhond could be a high-value fantasy pick, picking 3 wickets in 11 overs this year at a marvellous economy rate of below 5 (51 runs in 11 overs).
North Mumbai Panthers
Almost 90% fantasy teams will be selecting Prithvi Shaw in their fantasy teams and over half of them will make him captain. However, let’s take a gamble and select Shaw as a normal player while looking at higher value captains in the likes of Sairaj Patil or Karan Nande. Apart from a single duck, Nande scored 50 and 40 and is occasionally also thrown the ball. Patil has 70 runs this season so far.
Shaw’s opening partner Vikrant Auti has been good with 104 runs and a lowest score of 22 in 3 games, so he’s a must pick in your Howzat (sign-up with code “READ1234”) fantasy team. With the ball, quite a few options crop up. Atif Attarwala has been a star so we can drop him for either Prathamesh Dake or Rahul Sawant. Dake picked 3 wickets in his first 2 games while Sawant picked 2/15 in his first game. Pravin Tambe has gone wickletless so far.
