Indian T20 League 2019, Match 51: Mumbai v Hyderabad - Dream 11 and Dotball Fantasy Cricket Tips and Match Updates

Mumbai and Hyderabad are on the 3rd and 4th spot respectively but must be aware that the teams below them can quickly climb up the table. Fortunes oscillate from the bane to the banal as the tournament is in the final stages of the league games. Mumbai faced a heavy defeat against Kolkata in their previous outing while Hyderabad are flying high after a convincing 45-run win over Punjab. Previously, when both sides locked horns at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad slumped to a big defeat which gives Mumbai an upper hand when both teams meet at the Wankhede on Thursday.

With no David Warner around, Hyderabad will struggle to replace the orange cap holder. They might finally give a go to Martin Guptill who has been warming the bench all season. Rashid Khan final got among the wickets and could prove to be a thorn in the flesh of Mumbai especially Rohit Sharma.

If you are picking a fantasy team, don’t forget to add one Hardik Pandya in it, who has been in red-hot form. Manish Pandey’s resurgence makes him another valuable pick in your fantasy team. Game-wise, Mumbai look to have an upper hand because of their home advantage and their renowned ability to up the ante at this time of the tournament.

Dotball team for Head to Head/Small Contests:

Wicket-Keeper: Quinton de Kock

Batsmen: Manish Pandey, Suryakumar Yadav, Keiron Pollard

All-Rounders: Mohammed Nabi, Hardik Pandya (C)

Bowlers: Rashid Khan (VC), Rahul Chahar, Lasith Malinga, Sandeep Sharma, Khaleel Ahmed

Captain and Vice-Captain choices:

Captain: Pandya’s blitzkrieg almost brought Mumbai an unlikely win against Kolkata when he smoked a 34-ball 91. The Indian all-rounder has been in blazing form with the bat and has provided a valuable bowling option in the middle overs. Pandya is an indispensable member of the any side at the moment, including your fantasy one.

Vice-Captain: Rashid Khan has bowled tightly but did not pick a lot of wickets before taking a handy 3/21 in Hyderabad’s commanding win over Punjab. He will be Williamson’s trump card against the likes of Pollard and Pandya.

Fantasy Tips

It is about time Kieron Pollard gets going as he has had a few quiet games after that whirlwind 83. Quinton de Kock’s sheer consistency has helped Mumbai with good starts despite Rohit’s struggle.

Win big in the Mumbai vs Sunrisers game. Play Dotball Fantasy Cricket.

Safe Captain Choices:

Hardik Pandya

Rashid Khan

Khaleel Ahmed

Risky Captain Choices:

Bhuvaneshwar Kumar

Manish Pandey

Jasprit Bumrah

Dotball Team for Large/Grand Contests:

Wicket-Keeper: Wriddhiman Saha

Batsmen: Kane Williamson, Manish Pandey (C), Rohit Sharma, Evin Lewis

All-Rounders: Vijay Shankar, Krunal Pandya

Bowlers: Rahul Chahar, Bhuvaneshwar, Khaleel Ahmed, Jasprit Bumrah (VC)

Captain and Vice-Captain choices:

Captain: Pandey has looked like a completely different player since his return to the XI. His sublime form has helped Hyderabad overcome their middle-order woes and will keep them in good stead in the absence of Warner. In his last three innings, Pandey has smoked 180 runs after getting dismissed twice with an amazing strike rate of 163.63. He will look to continue this golden run.

Vice-Captain: Bumrah hasn’t produced a telling performance yet but that is because teams have played him out without taking too many risks against him. His stellar economy rate of 6.61 means that he has stifled teams in the middle overs. A big performance from Bumrah is just round the corner.

Fantasy Tips

Coming back from a long lay off from injury did not prevent Saha from playing a cameo at the top of the order. Since Warner has flown back home, the onus is on senior Pro Saha to provide rollicking starts to Hyderabad.

Knowledge converts to cash in the Dotball Fantasy Cricket Contest.

All-Rounders – Hardik Pandya (C), Mohammad Nabi

Batsmen – Rohit Sharma (C), Evin Lewis, Martin Guptill (VC), Manish Pandey, Kane Williamson
