BAN vs DEL, 11Wickets Fantasy Cricket Tips: Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Update – Indian T20 League, Match 19

Match Details:

The 19th match of the Indian T20 League 2020 will be played between Bangalore and Delhi at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai.

This game is scheduled to start at 07:30 PM IST (06:00 PM local time) (02:00 PM UTC). The game will be telecasted on the Star Sports Network (Available in English, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Bengali). Also, live streaming will be available on Disney+ Hotstar.

Preview:

For the first time in a very long time, Bangalore have started steadily and done so, with a bang. They are currently second in the table and are only behind Delhi on NRR. With 3 wins already registered, another four wins should be enough to see them through to the playoffs. If not four, five will certainly do the trick for them. The equation has never been this simple for Virat Kohli and his men and that too, in the early stages of the tournament.

Batting hasn’t been an issue for Bangalore and it never has been. However, the death bowling department still remains to be an area of concern. Bangalore have got the worst economy while bowling in the overs 16-20 with the number reaching up to 14. In their last match, they gave away 55 runs from overs 16-20 with the likes of Rahul Tewatia and Jofra Archer batting at the crease; none of them were set in the middle. Bangalore will look to rectify that.

Delhi, on the other hand, got back to winning ways against Kolkata after a Shreyas Iyer special. Their skipper scored a brilliant 88 off just 38 deliveries which propelled his side to a massive total of 228-4. The bowlers did the job for them in the middle overs and won the game by 18 runs. Delhi has been giving away runs from towards the death and that margin of victory could have been much bigger if not for a Morgan-Tripathi blitz in the last 4 overs.

In short, the teams facing on Monday share the same weakness. Delhi, however, look much more settled than Bangalore when it comes to team combinations.

BAN vs DEL Match 19 Weather Report

The weather has been very good for the exciting brand of cricket that we’ve been witnessing. However, it has been draining too. While there has been no rain, the temperatures have been very high with humidity accompanying it. For the game on Monday, it is set to be humid once again and the temperatures might reach up to 34°C during the game.

Pitch Condition/Report:

The track at Dubai hasn’t been supportive to the batsmen as much as it has been for the slower bowlers. However, once a batsman gets his eye in, it becomes easy for him to play his range of shots. The trend is expected to continue and teams on winning the toss will look to bat first, given the results surrounding teams batting second at this venue.

Average first innings score: 184 (Based on the last 5 games)

Shivam Dube (8.5 credits) – Shivam Dube has come good for Bangalore this season. He has bowled well in the middle overs and has played the role of a finisher when his team required him to. He has scored 46 runs from 3 innings at a strike rate in excess of 150. He has also picked up 4 wickets from 3 innings.

Devdutt Padikal (8.5 credits) – Devdutt Padikkal has given RCB what they lacked in the past 3 years; regular and consistent starts. He has been very consistent with his batting and has shown that he is capable of shifting the gears when required and can be patient in the middle. The left-handed batsman is the leading run-scorer for Bangalore with 174 runs from just 4 innings and for just 8.5 credits, he is a steal pick.

Amit Mishra (8.5 credits) – Amit Mishra got his experience into play while bowling to the Kolkata batsmen in the middle overs.
