Two teams which want to be in the playoff contention are Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad. Both these teams are clashing tonight in Dubai. Here are our Dream11 fantasy picks for this match.
Star Players:
David Warner:
The lone warrior in the batting lineup of Sunrisers. Even though the others are inconsistent, Warner is consistently doing well for his team. Go for him if you have enough credits.
Rashid Khan:
As the pitches are getting slower every day, Rashid Khan will be a key player to watch out for in this game. A blind-pick for many Dream11 fantasy league players.
Jofra Archer:
Jofra Archer is the leading wicket-taker for Rajasthan Royals. He will play a crucial role in both the early and the death overs. Pick him up without any second thoughts.
Steve Smith:
Smith played an anchoring inning in the last game and helped Rajasthan win against Chennai Super Kings. Expect yet another good game from him.
Dark Horses:
Ben Stokes:
Stokes is opening for Rajasthan. We can see some of his glimpses but he is yet to unleash his power in full-potential. We predict that he may do well in this game.
Jonny Bairstow:
Though he failed to do well in the last few games, Jonny Bairstow is a capable player who can score many runs. You can try picking him up.
Jos Buttler:
Buttler played a fantastic knock in the last game and helped his team win against CSK. Buttler has now strengthened the middle-order of RR.
Manish Pandey:
Pandey is doing reasonably well for SRH this season. But he is yet to play a match-winning knock. If SRH loses any of their openers early, you can expect a big inning from Pandey.
Uncapped Gems:
Rahul Tewatia:
Tewatia has done extremely well in the last game. He has done well with the ball and we already know how good a batsman he is. Go for him.
T Natarajan:
In the absence of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Natarajan has become the strike bowler for SRH. He needs to do well and we think he will rise up to the occasion.
Here are the probable playing XI of both the teams:
Sunrisers Hyderabad: Jonny Bairstow, David Warner, Manish Pandey, Kane Williamson/Mohammed Nabi, Priyam Garg/Virat Singh, Vijay Shankar/Abishek Sharma, Abdul Samad, Rashid Khan, T Natarajan, Sandeep Sharma, Khaleel Ahmed/Basil Thampi
Rajasthan Royals: Ben Stokes, Robin Uthappa, Steve Smith, Sanju Samson, Jos Buttler, Riyan Parag, Rahul Tewatia, Jofra Archer, Shreyas Gopal, Ankit Rajpoot, Kartik Tyagi
