Mumbai has always been the favourite in the Ranji Trophy to win. They have enough firepower batters such as Sarfaraz Khan and Yashasvi Jaiswal to take on the bowling line-up of Assam and bowlers such as Shams Mulani and Tushar Deshpande who can defend the target.
If Mumbai bats first, we expect a score of 350 plus runs. If Assam bats first, expect somewhere between 280 to 300 runs in the first innings.
Sarfaraz Khan and Prithvi Shaw can cause problems in Assam. They will look to score huge runs in the first innings and take a first-innings lead.
