Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2021: MUM vs KER preview 

With the introduction of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, domestic players in the country finally have a platform to prove their mettle after an extended break. The Mumbai side boasts of several proven T20 players who have carved a niche for themselves in the shortest format with significant performances in the Indian Premier League over the years. The Surya Kumar Yadav-led team had a dismal start to their campaign this year and will look to bounce back with an impressive outing against Kerela. Chasing a total of 207 against Delhi, Mumbai's batting order failed to deliver, and they were ultimately bundled out for 130.

Kerela have had a contrasting start to the tournament as they began their journey with a dominating performance against Puducherry. With the presence of Basil Thampi, S Sreesanth, KM Asif, and Jalaj Saxena, they have a formidable bowling attack that can test Mumbai's batsmen. Kerela also have batsmen such as Robin Uthappa, Sanju Samson and Sachin Baby who have vast experience in the format. Mumbai have the home advantage and will look to make the most of it and get off the mark on the points table.
