IPL 2020 Match 27 - MI vs DC Fantasy Preview

It’s Match 27 of IPL 2020 and we have Mumbai Indians in action in Abu Dhabi, a pitch which has seen average scores of 160-170 but Mumbai has managed to score 200 here as well, which other teams haven’t so far. With the temperatures in the early thirties, it will be testing conditions and the fitter team may benefit, with a lot of heavy running expected, as the boundaries may not come as easily.

They have 4 wins in 6 games, second on the points table whereas they’re playing against Delhi Capitals, who has 5 wins in 6 games and so far, their only loss in this tournament came at this same ground in Abu Dhabi itself. Both teams come into this game with a hat-trick of wins, and the top spot on the points table is now up for grabs.

Numbers

Jasprit Bumrah to Rishabh Pant – 4 dismissals in 25 balls.
Head to head in last 5 games, Delhi leads 3-2.
Overall in IPL games head to head, these teams are tied 12-12.
Last 7 completed games in IPL 2020 – all won batting first.

Mumbai Indians

Quite a few left-handers in the Delhi batting lineup may create a force change of keeping Rahul Chahar out of the playing eleven for someone like Jayant Yadav. However, one bowler we know will perform is Jasprit Bumrah, who has managed 11 wickets in 6 games though he had a slow start to the tournament. Trent Boult will be a popular pick but I’d rather pick the less expensive and popular option of James Pattinson today.

Kieron Pollard in the middle order has been brilliant, dismissed just once in 5 innings and batting at an average of 163, with 10 of his 12 sixes coming against spin this season, so he may be promoted up the order to avoid the Rabada/Nortje pace in the back overs. Krunal Pandya has only 3 wickets in 6 games and hasn’t had too many chances to bat either, so it’s best we keep him out of our MI vs DC fantasy teams today.

Delhi Capitals

With the ball, Kagiso Rabada is miles ahead of everyone else in the Purple Cap race with 15 wickets in just 6 games so far in IPL 2020, continuing from where he left off in IPL 2019. He is a must have in your team while we continue to also have Anrich Nortje in our team too, someone who has bowled brilliantly and we think he deserves much more than the 8 wickets he’s got to his name in 6 games so far this season.

Rishabh Pant had a failure in the last game but he’ll be very popular because he’s got starts in every game prior to that. However, we won’t be picking him in our Nostragamus (Get Rs.200 FREE) fantasy team because he doesn’t have the best of records against Jasprit Bumrah. Marcus Stoinis is having the time of his life right now, contributing with both bat and ball, and he’s a good fantasy captain and vice-cptain choice too.
