IPL 2020 Match 6 - KXIP vs BLR Fantasy Preview

It was not the best start to the IPL 2020 season for Kings XI Punjab as they failed to get 1 run in 3 balls against Delhi, after which they lost the super over and registered a lose in their opening game. Now, they’re back in action for Match 6 of IPL 2020 and they’re playing Royal Challengers Bangalore who had a much better start, registering an easy win against Sunrisers Hyderabad.

The pitches in UAE are slightly on the slower side and both these teams played their respective first games here. Punjab tied the game after failing to chase 157 while RCB defended 163, so anything above 160+ batting first here is going to be a good total, one which can and should be defended.

Numbers

Head to head in last 5 games, Bangalore leads 4-1.
Yuzvendra Chahal – dismissed Maxwell 5 times in 8 innings.

Kings XI Punjab

In the first few games of the IPL 2020 seasons o far, Mayank Agarwal registered the highest score of the tournament so far, smashing 89 in a well-paced knock before he as dismissed in the final over. Pick him as most fantasy leagues will pick KL Rahul instead. Chris Gayle didn’t play the first game but remember, RCB is his former team and they may use Gayle in such grudge matches, as he plays better when there’s a point to prove.

Glenn Maxwell didn’t bowl in the last game and scored only 1 too. While he has been in good form recently and scored a century against England this month, we’re skipping him because Chahal has a good bowling record against him. Instead, let’s pick Krishnappa Gowtham who bowled his quota and is a floater in the batting lineup, scoring 20(14) in the last game. With the ball, please also keep an eye out on the young leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi.

Royal Challengers Bangalore

We had Devdutt Padikkal begin his IPL career in style with 56 on debut and I won’t be surprised if the run scoring continues because he’s been scoring big fifties and hundreds across all formats in the domestic circuit. This means Parthiv Patel will stay out of the side but we’re expecting a couple of changes. Not sure if Josh Philippe fits into the side, so there’s a chance of bringing in all-rounder Moeen Ali for this game.

At the same time, Adam Zampa is waiting on the bench and he’s coming fresh of 10 wickets in 3 ODIS against England, so not point him warming the bench. If he plays, we should have him in our PlayerzPot (Use Code “READ1234“) fantasy team. Talking about those on the bench, Chris Morris was a game or two away from full fitness, so he could also come in for Dale Steyn since it’s unlikely RCB will play an extra bowler in place of Philippe. Changes are certain though!
