Sometimes, you get very known and consistent teams in the knockout stages of these domestic tournaments. The same has happened in the 2022 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy where Mumbai has reached yet another semi final and they’ll be in action in the second semi of the day after Himachal Pradesh took on Punjab in the first one. It’s going to be played at a spinner’s paradise, which is the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
And while Mumbai is super strong and experienced in this tournament, Vidarbha is coming into this game with not a single loss in their last 5 matches. They’ve made winning a habit and beating Mumbai may not be out of their reach here, with both teams in search of their first ever SMAT title in the competition’s history.

Mumbai
After being snubbed from the national side yet again, Prithvi Shaw was a bit disappointed but that didn’t fuel him to get a big score as he got only 2 runs in the quarter final game, with his tournament tally at 287 runs in 8 matches. We’re leaving him out of our MUM vs VID game today and instead, we’re picking Yashavsi Jaiswal who has proved in the past how he likes to perform in the big games like at last year’s Ranji Trophy as well.
Another person for the big stage is Shreyas Iyer who scored 3, 8, 15, 40 in his four games this season and he’s only getting better with every match, so can even be picked as the captain or vice-captain of your MUM vs VID Dream11 team today. With the ball, Tushar Deshpande is their leading wicket-taker this season and he’s even got IPL experience to boost him, while Mohit Avasthi has got two consecutive 2-fers in this tournament.
Vidarbha
With 14 wickets in only his last 5 games including two 4-fers and not a single wicketless outing, Yash Thakur is the man in red-hot form right now and there’s no way you can keep this man out considering he’s in good rhythm after getting only 1 wicket in his first 4 games this season. Akshay Wadkar played a captain’s knock of 63 in the quarter final against Delhi and you want to pick such big-game performers.

Given all his national side experience, you would’ve expected more from Umesh Yadav but he hasn’t been at his best, with 0/46 in 4 overs in the quarter final too. However, he’s got plenty to offer and we think he can be a gamechanger on his day, so add him to your MyFab11 (sign-up with code “READAD46“) MUM vs VID fantasy team. If you’re looking at an added batting option, Apoorv Wankhade in the middle order makes a lot of sense.
