IPL 2020 Match 32 - MI vs KOL Fantasy Preview

Teams are playing more of spinners now as we move into the second half of IPL 2020 and the pitches seem to be slowing up slightly. Today, we have Mumbai Indians in action and this team has been flawless so far after a couple of early losses this season. They have 5 wins in 7 games and a win today will take them back to the top of the table, currently only behind Delhi Capitals!

They’re playing in Match 32 today in Abu Dhabi and their opponent is Kolkata Knight Riders who have 4 wins in their 7 games and are coming into this one after a loss to Bangalore in Sharjah. We believe Kolkata has the stronger spin attack and that may be the differentiating factor in today’s game.

Numbers

Head to head in last 5 games, Mumbai leads 4-1!
Head to head in all IPL games, Mumbai leads 20-6.

Mumbai Indians

Mumbai’s pace bowling attack consists of Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult and James Pattinson and they’ve all been good in IPL 2020 so far with 11, 11, and 9 wickets respectively, so it’s best to pick at least 2 of these 3 in your MI vs KOL fantasy team today. Captain Rohit Sharma has 904 runs against Kolkata which is the most runs for any batsman against a particular team, so we’re certainly picking him today, especially since KKR hasn’t been taking powerplay wickets.

That means Quinton de Kock should also be picked today, even if that means that we’re only expecting him to be in there to take advantage of the powerplay overs. With a number of left-handed players in the KKR team, Krunal Pandya may not be used much with the ball, so we’ll leave him out today. Similarly, Rahul Chahar may go the distance when he’s up against the likes of Nitish Rana and Eoin Morgan.

Kolkata Knight Riders

Those left-handers are the first we’re picking today especially Eoin Morgan since he’s looked to be in fabulous form in this IPL 2020 tournament so far. Shubman Gill at the top averages 61+ in all IPL 2020 games that Kolkata has won, so you know the start he may or may not give the team will be a key indicator to whether or not KKR can go on to win this game.

Coming in place of Shivam Mavi, Prasidh Krishna had an immediate effect on the side and now has 4 wickets in his 2 games, so he should also be in your Nostragamus (Get Rs.200 FREE) fantasy team. Sunil Narine was dropped in the last game for Tom Banton but in case KKR want an additional bowling option, they also have someone like Lockie Ferguson who can really trouble the Mumbai batsmen with his pace and bounce.
