Pitch Report

Its one of the most indifferent wkts. The pitch with black soil used is on the slower side and a target of 140 is par. Whereas the other wicket is a decent batting surface. Teams batting 2nd have a significant advantage.

Dependable Picks for Rario D3 Predictions 

Batter 1 & 2- KL Rahul and OG batter (1)

A top-order batter should be your blind pick in D3..

KL rahul has not been at his best so far this season. Since 2018 he has scored 500+ runs every season. No one has scored more runs and 50s than him since then. He has 194 runs from six matches but SR has been a source of concern. He can hold one end on this tricky surface and notch up another 40+ score atleast.

Shubman Gill has been piling up runs in all 3 formats at the international level for the past 8 months and has scored 7 100s. He also improved his T20 game and registered his 1st T20I 100 on the same venue against New Zealand not so long ago. He started his campaign with a magnificent 64 against CSK with some exquisite shots. He failed against Delhi and slowed down after PP against KKR but he is still your best bet other than Sai Sudharshan who had back-to-back 50s to his name and Vijay Shankar who has impressed one and all with his fiery 50 in last match.

Bowler 1 & 2- Ravi Bishnoi and Rashid Khan 

Rashid should be your automatic choice and probably the 1st pick in D3. He is arguably one of the greatest T20 bowlers with more than  500 wkts at an eco of 6. Season after season he has contributed immensely for his franchise and with the bat as well. He is the only bowler to take 15+ wickets for seven consecutive seasons

Bishnoi was one of the 3 signings for LSG prior to the main auctions last year. So far he has figures of 2/31, 3/28, 1/16, 0/39, 2/18, 0/25. Thats  eight wickets in six matches at a brilliant economy rate of 6.98 and a strike rate of 19

Last 2 picks- David Miller and Kyle Mayers 

David Miller should be a no-brainer in D3. GT has been boosted by his addition and he did what he does best in the game against Delhi. Only Pollard has more runs than him at a better SR batting at 5 or below in IPL. Whereas in intls, the same record belongs to him

Mayers holds the record for scoring 2 50s in his first 2 games in IPL. He also scored a 50 in last game. Although that was a slow knock but it came on a tricky surface. In addition to that, he bowls as well and opens the bowling. A great candidate in D3 who could fetch points in both departments. 
Match Predictions for Rario D3 predictions

Home advantage will favor Lucknow. They understand these conditions better and should take away 2 points from this encounter.

Pitch Report

Its one of the best batting tracks in the country. The red soil has something for everyone involved in the game. Batting 2nd is the way to go due to the small size of the boundaries and the dew factor. 


Probable XI for Rario D3 Prediction 

Mumbai Indians (MI): Rohit Sharma (c), Ishan Kishan (wk), Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav, Tim David, Cameron Green, Nehal Wadhera, Arjun Tendulkar, Piyush Chawla, Jason Behrendorff, Riley Meredith

Punjab Kings (PBKS): Shikhar Dhawan (c), Prabhsimran Singh, Matthew Short, Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Shahrukh Khan, Harpreet Brar, Nathan Ellis, Rahul Chahar, Arshdeep Singh

Dependable Picks for Rario D3 Predictions 

Batter 1 & 2- Cameroon Green and Liam Livingstone

Again going by the thumb rule, a top-order batter should be your blind pick in D3 but openers in MI camp are unreliable hence our best bet is no 3 Cam Green. He was the Man of the match in his last game on a tricky surface in Hyderabad and scored his maiden 50. He also bowled well. A great candidate in D3 who could fetch us plenty of points in both departments.

Punjab has been strengthened by the addition of Liam. He had over 400 runs last year at an astonishing SR of 170+

Moreover, he is a sort of all-rounder who can bowl both leg spin and off spin 

Jason Behrendorff and Arshdeep Singh 

Arshdeep should be somewhat your default choice in D3. He put on a splendid performance last year and had the best eco in death overs but this year he has been regularly picking wkts in Powerplay and could cause damage to MI’s top order. His newly added weapon in short ball is also fetching him good results.

MI’s bowling attack appears listless on paper in absence of Jofra Archer.  Behrendroff is a tall left arm seamer who hasn’t put a foot wrong so far in Powerplay. He has picked up 6 wkts from 4 games. 

Last 2 picks- Tim David and Sam Curran 

Tim David is one of the most brutal strikers in t20 cricket and a must-pick in D3. Over the past 2 years he has played in CPL, BBL, PSL and had a SR of 150+ in lamost each of them. Owing to that, he won a call up to the national side just before the t20 wc 

Another obvious choice, probably the 2nd automatic pick in D3. One of the finest all-rounders in the league. Sam Curran’s return to intl cricket after a long hiatus was nothing less than a dream. Since his comeback, he has scalped 26 wkts from 17 games and was MoM in the final as well as MoS in T20 WC

Match Predictions for Rario D3 predictions

MI are slow starters but one they find momentum they are unstoppable. PBKS’ best chance is to put a fighting total on board as their attack is much better than MI’s.
