Numbers

Head to head in last 5 IPL games, Mumbai leads 4-1.
Quinton de Kock – 3 fifties in last 4 matches this season.
Chris Jordan – 1 wicket in 4 matches in IPL 2020 so far.

Mumbai Indians

Despite James Pattinson’s success, he was replaced with Nathan Coulter-Nile the minute the latter was match fit but with figures of 1/51 in his first game, I don’t think I want him in my MI vs KXIP fantasy team. Another person who we can avoid today is Krunal Pandya as there are left-handers in the KXIP team, both of whom are in good form so there are chances that Krunal will be taken the distance.

Now among the people you should pick is certainly Quinton de Kock who started the season scratchily but he’s now Mumbai’s highest scorer in IPL 2020 and we think his run scoring will continue. With 174 runs in 6 innings and being dismissed only once so far, Kieron Pollard is worth adding to your fantasy side as well, since he’s got a whopping average of 174!

Kings XI Punjab

41 years old but Chris Gayle was brilliant in his opening game and he has 3 fifties in his last 6 games across competition, with a lowest score of 23, so he has no intentions of being dismissed cheaply here. Chris Jordan also impressed on his second chance in IPL 2020, bowling a spell of 1/20. Glenn Maxwell has been the side’s biggest liability but we think KXIP will continue to show faith in Big Show!

With 448 runs in 8 games, KL Rahul is the tournament leader and every time I’ve left him out of Nostragamus (Get Rs.200 FREE) fantasy team, I’ve regretted it, so let’s not make that mistake especially since he’s got two consecutive fifties right now. With the ball, I’m going to continue to back young leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi who has 4 wicketless games out of 8 IPL matches, but he can be brilliant on his day!
