IPL 2020 Match 8 - KOL vs SRH Fantasy Preview

It’s the Indian Premier League (IPL) and we’re going to stick to single matches a day before the double headers begin in October. In Match 8 of IPL 2020, we have a losers battle as the two bottom-most teams face off. We have Sunrisers Hyderabad who lost to RCB and they’re facing Kolkata Knight Riders who lost to Mumbai so far this season.

Both teams will be eager to get a win and get their season rolling and we think that Kolkata may be slight favourites because SRH has a lot of overseas options sitting out on the bench and we think they haven’t arrived at what may be their best team combination yet.

Numbers

Head to head in last 5 games, Sunrisers leads 3-2.
Rashid Khan – only 9 wickets in his last 10 games.
David Warner – 6 single-digit scores in his last 8 games.

Kolkata Knight Riders

The numbers don’t speak well for Sunil Narine who has a batting average of just 7.53 against the short ball and he may be put to the test against a good SRH bowling attack. Instead, we should look at a proper batting option in Shubman Gill who scored only 7 in the last game but he’s one to watch out for in the future of Indian cricket and should certainly be in your KOL vs SRH fantasy team.

The captain Dinesh Karthik promoted himself in the last game and his knock of 30 showed how mature he is as a cricketer and that’s why he should also make our fantasy team today. With the ball, we spoke about Shivam Mavi who has some serious pace and after picking 2 wickets in the last game, he’ll be eager to get another crack today, especially after he missed IPL 2019 to injury!

Sunrisers Hyderabad

Mitchell Marsh has been ruled out of IPL 2020 and while Jason Holder has been brought on as the replacement, we think Mohammad Nabi is more likely to be picked in the playing eleven. Kane Williamson is also waiting on the bench but we think Nabi will lend an additional bowling option. With the bat, David Warner has really been struggling with form and we’ll skip him.

Instead, I’m picking Jonny Bairstow in my PlayerzPot (Use Code “READ1234“) fantasy team because he’s scored well against Australia recently before scoring 60+ in the first game for Sunrisers this season. Someone who hasn’t been performing but has potential of being a match changer is Vijay Shankar who we’re picking though he bagged a golden duck in the last game!
