In Sunday’s doubleheader, the first game is between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders. It is an important game for both teams. Meanwhile, here are our picks who can do well in the game and give you more points in the Dream11 fantasy league.
Star Players:
Jonny Bairstow:
The star opener of SRH is in a moderate form this season. He is shining in a few matches and failing in others. He needs to step up at any cost this time.
Rashid Khan:
The go-to strike bowler for SRH at any given point. Rashid will not leak runs and that’s certain. All he needs to do is to scalp some important wickets.
Shubman Gill:
The opener of KKR is their leading runscorer but he has not done anything phenomenal this season. If he plays a big game today, you will have plenty of points in your Dream11 fantasy team.
Andre Russell:
Russell is struggling to perform on UAE grounds. However, he is an immense talent who can’t be underestimated. Pick him up in your Dream11 fantasy team.
Dark Horses:
David Warner:
The skipper of SRH is also the leading runscorer of his team. He needs to fire big in the powerplay overs to give a thunderous start for his side. We expect him to play such a game today.
Kane Williamson:
Williamson is synonymous with a class act. He played well in the last game and almost took his team to the victory. He will be a great pick for any fantasy team in the Dream11 league.
T Natarajan:
In the absence of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Natarajan is doing well for SRH in the death overs. If he manages to get a wicket or two, you will have many points in your kitty.
Eoin Morgan:
The skipper of Kolkata needs to up his ante in this game. His team needs a desperate win and he needs to step up at any cost. Expect a big innings from him.
Uncapped Gems:
Rahul Tripathi:
Rahul Tripathi should be sent as an opener as that is the place he suits for. We hope KKR does that so that he can play a free game up the order.
Varun Chakravarthy:
In the absence of Sunil Narine and Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakravarthy became a frontline spinner for KKR. He is doing well and will be a good pick for your team.
Here are the probable playing XI of both the teams:
Sunrisers Hyderabad: David Warner, Jonny Bairstow, Manish Pandey, Kane Williamson, Vijay Shankar, Priyam Garg/Abhishek Sharma, Shabaz Nadeem, Rashid Khan, T Natarajan, Sandeep Sharma, Khaleel Ahmed
Kolkata Knight Riders: Shubman Gill, Rahul Tripathi, Eoin Morgan, Dinesh Karthik, Nitesh Rana, Andre Russell, Chris Green/Lockie Ferguson, Pat Cummins, Varun Chakravarthy, Shivam Mavi, Kamlesh Nagarkoti
