Mumbai Masters Premiere League (MMPL) has reached the last stage of its league matches. Out of the 24 matches, only 4 scheduled matches are remaining to be played. Worli Pitch Smashers and Santacruz Crackers from Pool A and B respectively, are leading the table of their respective groups. However, with a match still pending for both the teams, the final results can change.

From Pool A, Worli Pitch Smashers (8 points) and Paradigm Borivali Warriors (6 points) are the teams that have qualified for the semi-finals. Whereas Santacruz Crackers has qualified for the semi-finals and both, Juhu Heroes and Shivaji Park Superstars will fight for their entry into the semi-finals.


Players to watch out for

Pratik Patil is the highest run scorer with 326 runs in 5 matches and with an average of 63. Rohan Sadarjoshi is second in the list of highest run-getters with 276 runs in 4 matches with a whopping strike rate of 179.22.

Roshan Ade is the leading wicket-taker with 13 wickets in 6 matches and an economy of 6.79. Rahul Bhadreshwara is second to the list with 10 wickets with an impressive economy of 5.19.


Upcoming Matches

Worli Pitch Smashers v/s Paradigm Borivali Warriors- March 9, 2018

Mulund Master Blaster v/s Juhu Heroes- March 9, 2018

Borivali Warriors v/s Chembur Strikers-  March 10, 2018

Santacruz Crackers v/s Shivaji Park Superstars- March 10, 2018


What to expect?

Last time when Worli Pitch Smashers and Paradigm Borivali Warriors had clashed, Borivali Warriors had dominantly defeated Worli Pitch Smashers with a margin of 76 runs. And now with their encounter on March 9, both of them would fight for the top position in the table.

Rahul Bhadreshwara, Paradigm Borivali Warriors can potentially become the leading wicket-taker and surpass Roshan Ade of Bandra Busters as the team is technically out of the league.

Juhu Heroes may just have an effortless win since Mulund Master Blaster haven’t yet won a single match in the entire tournament. However, cricket has always been an unpredictable game that may surprise us with the unpredictable results.
