Defending champions Bengaluru Bulls started their season with a win on the opening night before dropping points in their next outing. Their star raider Pawan ‘Hi-Flyer’ Sehrawat has already shown glimpses of his brilliance this season and Bengaluru Bulls will be hoping he finds top form against U Mumba. Sehrawat will have some help in attack from skipper Rohit Kumar and Sumit Singh. Bengaluru Bulls’ defence will also be looking to put on a much-improved display against U Mumba after succumbing to multiple All-Outs in their last match against Gujarat Fortunegiants. The likes of Mahender Singh and Amit Sheoran will hope to step up their game in defence on Sunday.
