Momentum in Focus, as Mumbai face Sunrises in new Home

                The early monsoon started to mull the drought as Mumbai shifts for a new home since the inception of IPL,  but the same new home as been one of the old home for Sunrises in earlier seasons. So mulling the home advantage apart both teams clash each other with sitting middle of the table at Vishapatnam on Sunday.
                Mumbai may not have the home advantage as in Wankhede, but with hat trick wins the momentum as been going well through them. Rohit as been leading from the front along side Rayudu and with some glimpse of fire works from Butler and Pollard.
              While Sunrises too recovered well after their loss to Pune, later won back to back games against Bangalore and Gujarat. So as Rohit, for Sunrises it is Warner leading them with the bat and brisk knocks from Dhawan and Williamson as been handy.
              But Sunrises struggled when their captain couldn't play big, it as been their strength and weakness in the batting. Yuvraj hadn't started convincingly with the bat against lions, where his form going to be crucial in the long run through the middle and lower order.
             Meanwhile Bowling as been consistent for either sides and complementing their batsmen well even with lack of runs on the boards. While Sunrises bowlers so far as been stand out attack in restricting appositions and Mumbai are not far behind with leading wicket takers of the season in the squad.
              The pitch at Visakhapatnam might not be that old batsmen friendly, the recently concluded T20 between Srilanka and India produced a  low scoring Contest with enough assistance for spinners.
                So with two sides going through some momentum and it will a crucial contest to watch for, as a win increases the chances to playoffs, the contest gonna lie on batsmen of either sides facing either bowling attacks.
