IPL 2020 Match 17 - MI vs SRH Fantasy Preview

Sharjah is the venue once again for Match 17 of the IPL 2020 season and given past games at this ground, we know we should be picking the maximum batting option in our fantasy teams. All innings here have seen 200+ scores and it’s a batting paradise. In Match 17, we have Mumbai Indians taking on Sunrisers Hyderabad and both teams have 2 wins in 2 games so far this season.

We think the momentum lies with Sunrisers as they’ve got 2 consecutive wins coming into this game while Mumbai are lacking a little bit of consistency so far in this tournament. Head to head, these two have always produced good contests, tied 7-7 in their previous 14 encounters in the IPL.

Numbers

6 innings at Sharjah so far – 200+ scores on all occasions.
3 games played here in IPL 2020 – 2 won batting first.
Last 5 IPL games head to head, Hyderabad leads 3-2.
In 16 IPL 2020 games, only 4 have been won batting second.

Mumbai Indians

After their last win, Mumbai may maintain the same team with the only chance of a change being bringing Nathan Coulter-Nile in place of James Pattinson. On this good Sharjah track, we need top order batsmen who can gracefully play their strokes and score runs, and not just slog their way through the innings. So, we’re surely picking captain Rohit Sharma even though he doesn’t have a great record against SRH.

With only 74 runs in 4 games, Suryakumar Yadav hasn’t had the best of outings yet in IPL 2020 but we’re picking him in our MI vs SRH fantasy team because he has been super consistent over the years. Kieron Pollard has only been dismissed once in 4 games, batting at an average of 138 so we’re picking him too. The slower bowlers have made a difference at this ground and we think Krunal Pandya will have a big role to play today!

Sunrisers Hyderabad

Sandeep Sharma or Siddarth Kaul are expected to replace Bhuvneshwar Kumar in case he isn’t fit after walking off in the last game. Regardless, we’re picking Khaleel Ahmed in the bowling department who has been super expensive (9.69 rpo) and won’t be too popular in fantasy leagues. I’ll be dropping Rashid Khan because teams have now started playing him off and his chances of picking wickets are usually lower.

Jonny Bairstow, Manish Pandey and David Warner have 119, 117 and 115 runs respectively in IPL 2020 and it’s tough to pick between them, so we’re adding them all in our My11Circle (Get Rs.500 Bonus*) fantasy team. If you want to leave one out, drop Warner because he’s super popular and hasn’t kicked off his campaign so far. Instead, you could pick Kane Williamson who has scores of 41 and 9 so far.
