Indian T20 League 2019, Match 46: Delhi vs Bangalore – Fantain and Dream 11 Fantasy Cricket Tips

The current points table of the Indian T20 league 2019 gives an interesting insight into how, except for Mumbai, Chennai and Delhi, all the other teams are still in the contention for the fourth spot in the playoffs. Bangalore, who lost their first six games, can still qualify for the playoffs if they win all their remaining games, and if Punjab and Hyderabad lose a couple.

Delhi will host Bangalore for match no. 46 which is a significant contest for both the teams. For Delhi, a win is likely to take them to the second position on the points table, which will mean better chances of making it to the finals. For Bangalore, as aforementioned, every game is a do-or-die affair. Here is all you need to know for both the teams before picking your Fantain Fantasy XI for Delhi vs Bangalore game.

Team News – Delhi

Expect Sandeep Lamichhane to feature in the playing XI as the surface in Kotla offers turn to the spinners. This means Chris Morris or Sherfane Rutherford could be serving drinks.

Likely playing XI – Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer (C), Rishabh Pant (wk), Sherfane Rutherford, Colin Ingram, Sandeep Lamichhane, Axar Patel, Kagiso Rabada, Amit Mishra, Ishant Sharma

Team News – Bangalore

Dale Steyn, who played the last two games for Bangalore as a replacement for injured Counter Nile, has himself suffered an injury and returned home. Moeen Ali has also headed to his country for World Cup preparations.

Likely playing XI – Parthiv Patel (wk), Virat Kohli (C), Ab de Villiers, Heinrich Klaasen, Akshdeep Nath, Marcus Stoinis, Washington Sundar, Tim Southee, Navdeep Saini, Umesh Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal

Fantain XI 

Wicketkeeper – Rishabh Pant

Batsmen – Virat Kohli (C), Prithvi Shaw, AB de Villiers, Shreyas Iyer (VC), Parthiv Patel

All-Rounders – Marcus Stoinis

Bowlers – Sandeep Lamichhane, Navdeep Saini, Kagiso Rabada, Ishant Sharma

Captain and vice-captain options:

Virat Kohli – With Moeen Ali back home and Parthiv Patel not a dependable batsman, the onus of scoring runs the bulk of runs will again be on Virat Kohli and Ab de Villiers. Kohli, in the last three games Bangalore won, has shown the passion to win every game going forward, and will want to lead from the front with the bat. He is an ideal choice for your captain on Fantain.

Shreyas Iyer – The young Delhi skipper has shown great maturity this season, both in the batting and captaincy. His personal record at Kotla is good, which is why he is one of the ideal options for the vice-captain slot.

Marcus Stoinis has also chipped in crucial runs in the middle, while Kagiso Rabada will once again be the key to Delhi’s bowling and could be your additional option for the vice-captain slot.

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