Mohammed Shami’s ownership for this game has dropped to 25% after a poor performance in the last game. But the Wankhede Stadium offers assistance for new seamers, and he can make a big difference.
Trent Boult is part of 34% of the fantasy teams for this game. The left-arm pacer can be deadly at this venue if there’s any movement on offer. Boult has the most (34) powerplay wickets in the IPL since 2022.
