Numbers

Head to head in last 5 matches, Bangalore leads 3-2.
In the reverse fixture, Bangalore won by 10 runs.
Bangalore – won 3 of their 4 matches at Sharjah this year.
Last 4 games at Sharjah – all won by teams batting second.

Royal Challengers Bangalore

In the last game, the batting collapse happened because the duo of ABD and Virat Kohli had rare failures. So, we need to pick some batsmen who can take up responsibility and one of them I can include in my Nostragamus (Get Rs.200 FREE) fantasy team is Devdutt Padikkal who scored a fifty after 8 games in the last game. Josh Philippe played well and is set to retain his place over Aaron Finch as Padikkal’s opening partner.

With the ball, Dale Steyn has only got 1 wicket in his 3 games in IPL 2020 and we think he’ll lose his place once again, either for Isuru Udana or for Adam Zampa. However, we think they have a decent pace attack and could go in for Moeen Ali as he gives RCB an added batting option as well, in case another collapse happens. Chris Morris is someone I can’t leave out either because he’s been among the wickets and can hit a long ball if required too.

Sunrisers Hyderabad

Now the first person you want from this team is Rashid Khan because the duo of ABD-Kohli has shown weakness against leg spin in the past years at the IPL; he has 17 scalps in 12 games so far and should be in your BLR vs SRH fantasy team. T Natarajan was over the moon when he picked the wicket of Kohli in the reverse fixture and since then, he’s matured and has been brilliant for the side, with 13 scalps in 12 games this season.

Except for a couple of games this season, Kane Williamson hasn’t really been bad and now, he’ll get more chance to express himself with the bat with Jonny Bairstow out and Kane likely to bat at #3 if a wicket goes down early. More must have players in your team are the all-rounders Vjiay Shankar and Jason Holder. You know that if they don’t perform with bat, they will with ball and vice-versa.
