IPL 2019: Match 34, DC vs MI – Predicted top performer based on stats and records for Fantasy Cricket

Among all, the Mumbai Indians (MI) have been troubled by the Delhi Capitals (DC) historically. The two teams will face-off in the match 34 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Feroz Shah Kotla stadium in Delhi. Both the teams are in the middle of a decent run this season and have registered five wins each after eight games. The hosts are at the second position while MI are one spot below them and they will take one step closer to the playoff qualification after a victory in this game.

For Mumbai Indians though it won’t be easy to get past DC who have been exceptional, to say the least, this season. Rishabh Pant will play a crucial role for the home team and not many must have forgotten his 78-run knock off 27 balls at the Wankhede stadium. This is his first match since the World Cup announcement and he would be gunning to vent his frustration as well. The visitors should look to dismiss him early and not let him create an impact which he did in the previous face-off.

Record against the opposition (MI):

Rishabh Pant likes to thump the MI bowlers it seems. In only six outings against them, he has scored 212 runs at an average of 42.4 with a couple of half-centuries. He will be looking to light up the Kotla with his scintillating shots on Thursday.

Last three innings vs MI – 78*, 64, 47

Record at the venue (Feroz Shah Kotla, Delhi):

It is the home ground for Pant and he undoubtedly loves to spend time in the middle at the Kotla. He is on the cusp of a milestone at the venue having amassed 974 runs in 25 T20 innings at a strike-rate of close to 180.

At Kotla: 974 runs in 25T20 innings with two centuries and six fifties at an average of 42.34 and an S/R of 178.06.

Last 8 IPL innings at this venue – 5, 11, 25, 64, 38, 61, 128*, 69

Recent form:

Rishabh Pant’s recent form in the ongoing season has been up and down. He is, at the moment, due for a big knock and Mumbai could come in its way. His last fifty-plus score came against the same opposition.

In the IPL 2019 – 23, 46, 18, 5, 39, 11, 25, 78*

Dream11 Scenario:

Costs 9.5 credits in the keeper category and is picked by 31% of teams. With Quinton de Kock for MI in great form, Pant could turn out to be a smart pick in grand leagues.
