IPL 2020 Match 28 - BLR vs KOL Fantasy Preview

We have Royal Challengers Bangalore on a roll right now, beating Chennai in their last game and having 4 wins in 6 games so far in IPL 2020. They’ve never had such a great start in any season before and it’s good news for the team and their campaign. Today, they’re playing in Match 29 against Kolkata Knight Riders who have also been on a winning streak at this point of time, but they will face team selection issues.

The match will be played at Sharjah where the more batsmen you pick, the better because it’s expected to be a run fest. However, the toss will also be vital as there’s been a string on matches where the teams batting first have won. Bangalore will be playing their first game in Sharjah while Kolkata played one and lost in a chase.

Numbers

Head to head in last 5 games, Kolkata leads 4-1.
Virat Kohli scores in his last 3 games – 90*, 43, 72*.
Virat Kohli – 100(58) in last game against Kolkata.

Royal Challengers Bangalore

With the bat, Virat Kohli struggled in their first 3 games with just 18 runs and in the next 3 games, he scored a couple of fifties and was dismissed just once in those games, so he’s a definite pick in this BLR vs KOL fantasy team. Isuru Udana will be a good bowling option on this pitch where the batsmen will have to add pace to the ball with his different variations and slower balls; he has 6 wickets in his 4 games so far.

Yuzvendra Chahal is their leading wicket-taker so far but he has only 1 wicket in his last 2 games and I’ll skip him from my fantasy team today because of the number of left handed batsmen in the KKR side like Morgan, Narine and Rana. Instead, I’m picking Washington Sundar who picked 2 wickets in the last game and he’s being promoted up the order as well for RCB in the past couple of games.

Kolkata Knight Riders

From the KKR batting lot, Eoin Morgan has felt like the most fluent and his run scoring ability is why I might even consider him as my fantasy captain or vice-captain. He smashed 44(18) in his previous game at Sharjah and will clearly enjoy batting here again. Everyone has had great expectations from Andre Russell but he has injury woes and didn’t even bowl in the last game and hasn’t been among the runs either, so we’ll leave him out.

The other West Indian all-rounder Sunil Narine hasn’t been contributing much with bat and ball either, so I’m leaving him out of my Nostragamus (Get Rs.200 FREE) fantasy team too. With the ball, consider picking Prasidh Krishna who came in for Shivam Mavi in the last game and had an immediate effect with a 3-fer on his first game in IPL 2020.
