IPL 2020 Match 48 - MI vs BLR Fantasy Preview

Earlier in this IPL 2020 season, these two sides clashed and it was Royal Challengers Bangalore who emerged victorious in a high scoring encounter where both teams scored 200+ and it was a super over which needed to decide the result. Now, they’re back again to play Mumbai Indians in Match 48 of the tournament, with both teams having their sights set on qualifying to the playoffs.

Both teams have 7 wins in 11 games each, with Mumbai higher on the IPL 2020 points table with a superior net run rate. Both teams are coming off losses, both losing on Sunday in shock losses. Both will be wanting to pounce back with a win here in Abu Dhabi and get a chance to even top the points table.

Numbers

Head to head in last 5 games, Mumbai leads 3-2.
In the reverse fixture this season, Bangalore won the super over.
Last 7 games at Abu Dhabi this year – 5 won batting second.

Mumbai Indians

Captain Rohit Sharma missed the last couple of games due to a hamstring injury and he was also excluded from all squads of India’s tour to Australia which means Ishan Kishan will get an extended run at the top. Remember, he scored 99 in the reverse fixture against RCB as well. After scoring 360 runs in just 6 games, Quinton de Kock had a rare failure with 6 in the last game but he’ll be wanting to cash in against his former IPL franchise.

With the ball, it was surprising that their leading wicket-takers Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult both went wicketless while the in and out player James Pattinson picked up a couple, so I’d like to have him in my MI vs BLR fantasy team as well. Like 13 wickets in 11 games in IPL 2020 so far, their leg-spinner Rahul Chahar seems to be super high on confidence and I think he’ll be among the wickets here too.

Royal Challengers Bangalore

After getting 18 runs in his first 3 games in IPL 2020, Virat Kohli never had a single score below 18 in his next 8 innings and he’s someone you can’t leave out, currently third on the Orange Cap list in IPL 2020. Like him, we have Devdutt Padikkal who hasn’t been as impressive as he was in the first few games of the season but he’s managing to get a start in every single game, which means guaranteed fantasy points.

In the last game, RCB included Moeen Ali in place of Isuru Udana and while he wasn’t of much use in that game, he should be used better here, with the likes of Chahar and Krunal Pandya spinning the ball into him. He could even be the captain or vice-captain of your Nostragamus (Get Rs.200 FREE) fantasy team today. Chris Morris has been their most impressive bowler in terms of economy rate, while picking 10 wickets in 6 games as well.
