Indian T20 League 2021: Match 48 Bangalore vs Punjab – Gamezy Fantasy Cricket Tips, Prediction, Playing XI and 2nd Innings Fantasy Tips

Preview

The race for the playoffs is getting intensifying with every passing match in the ongoing Indian T20 League 2021. Bangalore are sitting at a comfortable position at the third place but need one more win to seal their place in the top four and they even have a chance to make it to the top two.

Punjab, on the other hand, stole a close win against Kolkata the other night and they have no option but to continue in the same momentum. KL Rahul looked in good form in the previous game while the bowlers are doing consistently well in every match. A loss here will more or less end Punjab’s hopes of making it to playoffs.

Top Picks

Harshal Patel

The man with a golden hand. Yes, Harshal Patel is certainly having a dream of a tournament this season. He has so far picked 26 wickets in this edition and is well on his way to win the purple cap. The pacer bowls at the death and more often than not picks wickets earning a lot of Fantasy points.

Mayank Agarwal

The Punjab opener Mayank Agarwal hit the ball nicely in the game against Kolkata. He scored an enterprising 40 in a crucial chase for his side and seems to be in good form at the moment. With new ball being easy to score runs off, Agarwal is likely to take the aggressor’s role yet again and play a big knock this time around.
