Indian T20 League 2021: Match 51 Rajasthan vs Mumbai – Gamezy Fantasy Cricket Tips, Prediction, Playing XI and 2nd Innings Fantasy Tips

Preview

The Indian T20 League 2021 has entered its last week of league stage games. Rajasthan and Mumbai will be facing off against each other to stay alive in the tournament. Thanks to their poor net run-rate, a loss will end one of the teams’ hopes of making it to the playoffs. Rajasthan will be confident after thumping Chennai in the previous game having chased down 190 without much fuss.

Mumbai, on the other hand, have struggled for consistent performances this season. They lost to Delhi in the erstwhile encounter and would be desperate for an ideal outing in this game. They have struggled on a slow Sharjah surface in this leg and their batsmen should step up to complement the bowlers’ good show.

Top Picks

Yashasvi Jaiswal

Yashasvi Jaiswal played a blinder of a knock against Chennai. He smashed a 19-ball half-century, the second fastest ever for an uncapped player in the IPL, in the powerplay itself. Once again, the first six overs will be crucial on a slow pitch in Sharjah and Jaiswal can take on the Mumbai bowling which is already under a lot of pressure.

Jayant Yadav

Many will be surprised to see Jayant Yadav’s name here. But Rajasthan have five left-handers in their top seven and the off-spinner could be really useful in the middle overs. A couple of wickets to him will also be huge in Fantasy cricket as not many will pick him in their teams.
