Indian T20 League 2019, Eliminator: Delhi vs Hyderabad– Fantain and Dream 11 Fantasy Cricket Tips

Hyderabad, who booked a last-minute berth in the playoffs after Kolkata lost to Mumbai in the last league game of the season, will now lock horns with 3rd placed Delhi to get one place closer to the final. The team that loses goes home, while the winning team will then play the losing team of the Qualifier 1 between Mumbai and Chennai.

Hyderabad, who were on a winning spree when David Warner and Jonny Bairstow were still playing the tournament, were undone by their other batsmen in the last two league games. The likes of Martin Guptill and Deepak Hooda will have to step up against Delhi, which boasts of a balanced side. Here is how the fantasy XI should look like for the Eliminator between Delhi and Hyderabad.

Team News –

Delhi

Delhi have not tweaked their playing XI much throughout the season. Kagiso Rabada is back home due to a back injury, but even in his absence, the batting and bowling department looks quite competitive.

Likely playing XI – Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer (C), Rishabh Pant (wk), Colin Ingram, Sherfane Rutherford, Axar Patel, Chris Morris, Amit Mishra, Ishant Sharma, Trent Boult

Hyderabad  

Former Kolkata batsman Yusuf Pathan has had a poor season throughout and might have to make way for all-rounder Deepak Hooda.

Likely playing XI – Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Martin Guptill, Manish Pandey, Kane Williamson (C), Vijay Shankar, Deepak Hooda, Mohammad Nabi, Rashid Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Khaleel Ahmed, Basil Thampi

Fantain XI 

Wicket-keeper – Rishabh Pant (C), Wriddhiman Saha

Batsmen – Martin Guptill, Manish Pandey, Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer, Kane Williamson (VC)

All-Rounders – Axar Patel,

Bowlers – Khaleel Ahmed, Amit Mishra, Ishant Sharma

Captain and vice-captain options

This season, Rishabh Pant has shown glimpses of how dangerous he can be, and how he can single-handedly take the game away from the opposition’s hands. If Pant gets going, even the best of Hyderabad’s bowlers could be found helpless. The youngster is thus a good choice for your Fantain captain.

Manish Pandey, who had a poor season this year, before getting into the groove in the two games before the previous one, will once again be looking for a big inning. If not Pandey, you can also consider Kane Williamson for the Fantain vice-captain.

This is our Fantain Fantasy XI but you’re the real expert.

Dream11 Prediction

Suggested Playing XI No.1 for Head to Head/ Small Leagues:

WicketKeeper – Rishabh Pant

Batsmen – Shikhar Dhawan (C), Shreyas Iyer, Manish Pandey (VC), Martin Guptill

All-Rounders – Axar Patel, Mohammad Nabi

Bowlers – Ishant Sharma, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Basil Thampi, Khaleel Ahmed.

Fantasy Tip – Shreyas Iyer has been scoring runs consistently this season. The batsman, known for his unorthodox and flamboyant batting, can rule the pitch on his day.

Suggested Playing XI No.2 for Grand/ Mega Leagues:

WicketKeeper – Wriddhiman Saha

Batsmen – Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer, Prithvi Shaw (VC), Kane Williamson (C)

All-Rounders – Axar Patel, Mohammad Nabi, Vijay Shankar

Bowlers – Ishant Sharma, Trent Boult, Rashid Khan

Fantasy Tip – The Vizag pitch is known to assist spinners, and who better than Rashid Khan to make most of that opportunity? The young leg spinner often plays his best cricket in big matches and will be crucial to Hyderabad in the eliminator.
