IPL 2019, Match 11 – SRH vs RCB: Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Tips – Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Update

After a high-scoring game against the Rajasthan Royals, the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are up against the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in their next game. The spirited Royals’ performance the other day saw the home team huff and puff to the victory despite dominating the most part of the chase. They will be confident to face the RCB now who are still search of their first win this season.

Their bowling attack, especially in the death overs, has found wanting and the team has to find a solution for it soon. With the Hyderabad pitch expected to be flat, it will be another run-fest and they literally can’t afford to lose three matches on the trot. With AB de Villiers finding his mojo early in the season, it could be interesting to see how they tackle the Rashid Khan threat.

Even the Sunrisers’ bowling is looking weak which is surprising as the same group was touted as one of the best attacks last season. Sandeep Sharma might have to make way for Khaleel Ahmed after a poor effort with the ball in the last game. Shahbaz Nadeem can get one more chance to make amends while the top six in the batting department look perfect.

Expert Advice:

It is tough to pick Kohli, De Villiers, Warner and Kane Williamson in one fantasy team as they consume a total of 41.5 credits then. You can only pick two of them to get better bowlers in the team. In case you pick three players among them, then two players with 8 credits need to be picked.

AB de Villiers struggled against Rashid Khan last year and the Afghanistan leggie might continue to enjoy success against him.

Fancy taking risk? Kane Williamson could be a surprise pick in the grand league as not many will take him in the team.

Probable Winners:

The prediction is for the SRH to win again in front of their home crowd but the RCB can come hard at them if the pitch is flat like it was in the game between SRH and RR.
