Today will be the last doubleheader of this year’s IPL. In the first game, Delhi Capitals will be taking on Mumbai Indians. Ahead of this game, here are our picks for the Dream11 fantasy league.
Star Players:
Shikhar Dhawan:
The leading run-scorer for Delhi Capitals. After performing extremely well in five matches, Dhawan lost his steam in the last couple of games. Hope he makes a strong comeback tonight.
Quinton de Kock:
de Kock is currently the leading run-getter for Mumbai Indians. He is very consistent and we can expect yet another important game from him.
Kagiso Rabada:
The leading wicket-taker in the tournament. In the 12 matches he played this season, Rabada went wicket-less only in one game. That proves his consistency. Go for him.
Jasprit Bumrah:
Bumrah is currently the leading wicket-taker for Mumbai Indians. He is a deadly bowler who can take wickets at any given point. A must-buy for all the Dream11 fantasy league players.
Dark Horses:
Trent Boult:
Boult is the second leading wicket-taker for Mumbai. He can pick up wickets in the powerplay overs. If he manages to do it in this game as well, then you have plenty of points in your kitty.
Marcus Stoinis:
Stoinis will be a good all-rounder pick for your Dream11 fantasy league team. He can be a crucial batsman in the death overs. Try choosing him.
Shreyas Iyer:
Though he didn’t play a big inning in every match, Iyer made sure to anchor the game well. He is playing a captain innings in every game. Expect one more good match from him.
Anrich Nortje:
If you don’t have enough credits to buy Rabada, you can go for Nortje. He can bowl very fast and scalp some important wickets as well.
Uncapped Gems:
Rahul Chahar:
Of late, spinners started playing an important role in every match. Chahar has been very consistent this season and thus, he will be a good pick for your Dream11 fantasy league team.
Surya Kumar Yadav:
Yadav made an unbeaten 79 runs in the last game and gave a befitting answer to the selectors who ignored him. We predict yet another big game from him.
Here are the probable playing XI of both the teams:
Mumbai Indians: Quinton de Kock, Ishan Kishan, Surya Kumar Yadav, Saurabh Tiwary, Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya, Kieron Pollard, James Pattinson, Rahul Chahar, Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah
Delhi Capitals: Shikhar Dhawan, Prithvi Shaw/Ajinkya Rahane, Shreyas Iyer, Rishab Pant, Marcus Stoinis, Shimron Hetmyer, Axar Patel, Kagiso Rabada, R Ashwin, Tushar Deshpande, Anrich Nortje
