Playing XI Updates

Sunrisers Hyderabad

No changes are expected of the Sunrisers with Mohammad Nabi excelling in the previous games. Jonny Bairstow and David Warner have put on four 50+ partnerships so far. They have been detrimental to the cause for the defending champions. The bowling looks very strong with the presence of Rashid Khan and Bhuvneshwar Kumar in their ranks.

Possible XI: Warner, Bairstow (WK), Vijay, Manish, Deepak, Yusuf, Nabi, Rashid, Bhuvi(C), Kaul and Sandeep.

Mumbai Indians

Ishan Kishan could return for Yuvraj Singh while the rest of the side should remain the same with MI debutants, Jason Behrendorff and Rahul Chahar doing well in the previous game. Hardik Pandya and Krunal Pandya are crucial to the balance of the side with their invaluable skill-set bound to play a part on this surface which promises runs galore.

Possible XI: de Kock(WK), Rohit(C), Kishan/Yuvraj, Suryakumar, Hardik, Krunal, Pollard, Bumrah, Chahar, Malinga and Behrendorff.

Fantasy Tips and Suggestions

Wicket-keeper: Quinton de Kock has been in good form for MI and RSA over the past few months and should be picked ahead of Sunrisers keeper, Jonny Bairstow who is due a failure after scoring in excess of 200 runs so far in the IPL.

Batsmen: Rohit Sharma and David Warner are two of the best batsmen in the shortest format and are must-have picks in the side with the in-form, Suryakumar Yadav also amongst the probables. Manish Pandey hasn't justified his lofty price tag but could be picked on a surface more suitable for batting.

All-rounders: The Pandya brothers are obvious candidates to have in the side with both of them in very good form while one of Mohammad Nabi and Vijay Shankar should do the trick as the third all-rounder in the fantasy side.

Bowlers: Rashid Khan and Jasprit Bumrah are considered to be amongst the best bowlers in the format and are invaluable picks to the fantasy team. The likes of Siddarth Kaul and Rahul Chahar are great options to go along with the aforementioned duo.

Captain: Rohit Sharma and David Warner are the obvious choices for captaincy on a flat surface while Krunal Pandya has also shown glimpses of what he is capable of in the first few rounds of IPL 2019. He is also a good option to choose as captain with his record at the stadium also taken into consideration.

Dotball Fantasy Suggestion #1: Quinton de Kock (WK), David Warner, Suryakumar Yadav, Yuvraj Singh, Manish Pandey, Vijay Shankar, Krunal Pandya, Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, Rashid Khan and Sandeep Sharma. Captain: David Warner

Dotball Fantasy Suggestion #2: Jonny Bairstow (WK), Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Manish Pandey, Yuvraj Singh, Krunal Pandya, Vijay Shankar, Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, Rashid Khan and Sandeep Sharma. Captain: Rohit Sharma
