Indian T20 League 2019, Match 10: Kolkata vs Delhi - Fantain Fantasy Cricket Tips

Two-time champions Kolkata will play their first away match of the season when they face off Delhi at the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium on Saturday, March 30. Kolkata are high on confidence after winning both their home games in style, while Delhi won their first game against Mumbai but then had a bad day against Defending champions Chennai at home. With star players in both the teams, it is unlikely that the game will be a boring affair. Here’s all you need to know before picking your Fantain XI for Kolkata vs Delhi.

Venue – Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium, New Delhi

Team news – Delhi

Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer (c), Colin Ingram, Rishabh Pant (wk), Rahul Tewatia, Axar Patel, Keemo Paul/Chris Morris, Amit Mishra, Ishant Sharma, Kagiso Rabada

Team News – Kolkata

It makes little to no sense for Kolkata to tweak their winning combination. But they will once again be reliant on Andre Russell for some quick runs, as Chris Lynn has not found his form yet.

Likely playing XI –

Chris Lynn, Sunil Narine, Robin Uthappa, Nitish Rana, Dinesh Karthik (c & wk), Shubman Gill, Andre Russell, Piyush Chawla, Kuldeep Yadav, Lockie Ferguson, Prasidh Krishna.

Hot picks

Andre Russell – Andre Russell has been the best performer of the tournament in its first week. He was brilliant with both the bat and ball in the both the games Kolkata have played and won so far. He should be a permanent on your Fantain XI for all of Kolkata’s games.

Amit Mishra – In the first game at the Kotla the spinners got added benefit. Amit Mishra bowled well against Chennai and could well repeat the same in this game. The wicket turns sluggish in the end when spinners can benefit to a good extend.

Rishabh Pant – Pant is Russell’s equivalent in the Delhi team. The youngster is firing on all cylinders with his bat and will look to continue impressing national selectors for a spot in the World Cup squad. He could be a smart pick on your Fantain XI.

Shikhar Dhawan – Dhawan looks in fine touch after his performance against Chennai wherein he scored a smooth half-century. He is the only experienced batsman in Delhi’s otherwise relatively inexperienced batting line-up and your Fantain XI will be largely dependent on his exploits.

Kagiso Rabada – With three wickets in two games, Rabada has had a decent outing so far which he will be looking to better. His pace is his biggest weapon, with which even some of the best batsmen struggle.
