IPL 2020 Match 9 - RR vs KXIP Fantasy Preview

Yesterday, with Kolkata getting their first win of the IPL 2020 season, we finally had a team chasing win a match this season and that’s because SRH only put up 140-odd and what we’ve noticed so far is that if you manage to score 160+, you’re usually safe batting first. We now move to Sharjah for Match 9 where the pitch is said to be a belter, with 217 being scored in the first game there itself!

Keep that in mind while choosing players today, as runs will flow off the bat. We have Rajasthan Royals in action once again and it’ll be safe to have as many top order batsmen as possible. RR have 1 win in 1 game while they play Kings XI Punjab today, who have 1 win in 2 games. Keep reading for our complete PlayerzPot (Use Code “READ1234“) fantasy preview of the RR vs KXIP game…

Numbers

Head to head in last 5 games, Kings XI leads 4-1.
Yashasvi Jaiswal – 400 runs in 6 games at the U-19 World Cup.
Glenn Maxwell scores so far this tournament – 1 and 5.

Rajasthan Royals

The biggest news for this side is that Jos Buttler is now done with his mandatory quarantine and he’s expected to come straight into the side today, most probably in place of Tom Curran or David Miller; we’re expecting Miller to get the boot to keep the balance of the side. Steven Smith opened and scored 69 in the first game and he may now move back into the middle order for this game.

Watch out for Yashasvi Jaiswal who only managed 6 in the opening game but he’s one talented youngster to be watching out for who top scored in the 2020 U-19 World Cup earlier this year too, including 4 fifties and a century in 6 innings. With the ball, watch out for leggie Shreyas Gopal especially since there aren’t many left handers in the KXIP batting line-up.

Kings XI Punjab

The biggest question here is whether they will want to bring in Chris Gayle for Nicholas Pooran, the latter having scores of 0 and 17 so far. Maxwell has also under-performed but it’s unlikely he gets the axe. We’re going to pick both openers in our RR vs KXIP fantasy teams, including KL Rahul who scored the first century of IPL 2020 and Mayank Agarwal who has been fluent with scores of 89 and 26 so far.

James Neesham was used in the last game but was wicketless in 2 overs and didn’t even have a bat, so it’s likely he isn’t picked today, so we’re skipping him from our PlayerzPot (Use Code “READ1234“) fantasy team as well. We can’t leave out Ravi Bishnoi who had 17 wickets in 6 games in the recent U-19 World Cup and so far in IPL 2020, he has 4 wickets in 2 games!
