Cameron Green is a Potential Match-Winner for Mumbai Indians: Irfan Pathan

MUMBAI:
The league stage of TATA IPL 2023 concluded with a bang as Mumbai Indians became the fourth
team to qualify for the playoffs at the end of the last league match between Royal Challengers
Bangalore and Gujarat Titans.

The level of competition in the Toughest T20 can be gauged by the fact that the fourth and final
team to book the playoffs berth was decided after the result of the last league game of the
tournament after GT prevailed over RCB.

GT and Chennai Super Kings finished as the top two teams and gave themselves one more shot at
lifting the coveted trophy. They will be taking on each other in the Qualifier 1 on May 23 at MA
Chidambaram. While MI and Lucknow Super Giants will be locking horns with each other in the
Eliminator at the same venue, a day later.

The losing team in Qualifier 1 will then take on the winner of Eliminator in Qualifier 2 on May 26 at
the Narendra Modi Stadium to set up a title clash with the Winner of Qualifier 1 on May 28 in
Ahmedabad.

In the first match of the doubleheader on Sunday, MI showcased the batting skills of the highest
order to defeat Sunrisers Hyderabad in a big run chase at home. Cameron Green – who notched up
his maiden IPL century with the winning shot for MI – lived up to the billings in his debut season and
sent a warning to LSG ahead of the knockout game.

Hailing Green’s sensational batting performance against SRH, former India cricketer Irfan Pathan
suggested the young Australia all-rounder should bat at number three in the coming games.
