The second game of today’s doubleheader will be between Kings XI Punjab and Sunrisers Hyderabad. It is an important game for both the teams to survive in the playoff race. Here are our best Dream11 fantasy picks for this game.
Star Players:
KL Rahul:
With more than 500 runs under his belt, Rahul is currently the orange cap holder of this season. What other reason you would need to pick him up in your Dream11 fantasy team?
Mayank Agarwal:
The second leading run-scorer of Punjab. He has made many valuable partnerships with Rahul this season. The best pick for many fantasy league players.
David Warner:
The leading run-scorer for Sunrisers Hyderabad. Given the fact that he scored more than 51 runs in every game of last 8 games against Punjab, Warner will be a good buy for sure.
Rashid Khan:
The leading wicket-taker of SRH and also has a very good record against KL Rahul. Rashid’s role will be very crucial during the middle-overs of this match.
Dark Horses:
Manish Pandey:
For the first time this season, Pandey has played to his potential in the last game. It was an absolute treat to watch him play his best and if he manages to repeat the same form, you will have plenty of points in your kitty.
Mohammed Shami:
The second leading wicket-taker in this edition of IPL. Though he went off the track in a few games, Shami is performing well for the last couple of matches.
Nicholas Pooran:
A striking batsman in the middle-order of Punjab. If he gets going, there is no stopping for this young man. As he is in a supreme form, Pooran will be a good pick.
Jonny Bairstow:
Bairstow made 97 runs in his last game against Punjab. If he manages to bring up yet another such performance, then you will get in numerous points in your kitty.
Uncapped Gems:
T Natarajan:
Natarajan has become the yorker specialist of this tournament. If he contains the leakage of runs, he will be a good buy in your Dream11 fantasy league.
Ravi Bishnoi:
Bishnoi is currently the leading spinner for Kings XI Punjab. Given the slow conditions of the pitch, he will be a key player to watch out for in this game.
Here are the probable playing XI of both the teams:
Sunrisers Hyderabad: David Warner, Jonny Bairstow, Manish Pandey, Vijay Shankar, Priyam Garg, Abdul Samad, Jason Holder, Rashid Khan, Sandeep Sharma, Shabaz Nadeem/Khaleel Ahmed, T Natarajan
