Indian T20 League 2021: Match 56 Bangalore vs Delhi – Gamezy Fantasy Cricket Tips, Prediction, Playing XI and 2nd Innings Fantasy Tips

Preview

The league stage of the Indian T20 League is set to end with the match between Bangalore and Delhi. It is more or less a dead rubber for them with both sides qualifying for the playoffs. Bangalore will have an eye on the top two spot but they will need a huge win in this game and with Delhi being the best team of the tournament so far, the task won’t be easy at all.

The Rishabh Pant-led side has registered 10 wins this season and are sitting pretty at the top of the points table. But their middle-order is very much brittle and would be keen on Marcus Stoinis returning for the playoffs. As of now, the all-rounder will be benched and they are unlikely to make any changes for this match.

Top Picks

Harshal Patel

Harshal Patel is on the cusp of creating history. He has so far picked 29 wickets in 13 matches and is only four wickets behind from becoming the highest wicket-taker of any Indian T20 League season ever. Harshal bowls at least two overs at the death and picks wickets regularly which helps in earning him a lot of Fantasy points.

Shikhar Dhawan

Shikhar Dhawan has lost his touch as the tournament has progressed. This is the last chance for him to regain his form before the playoffs. Dhawan has so far scored 501 runs in 13 innings at an average of 41.75. The southpaw is key for Delhi and it is imperative for him to return to form.
