IPL 2019: Match 7, RCB vs MI – Predicted top performer based on stats and records for Fantasy Cricket

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) had a forgettable outing in the opening game against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Chepauk. The Virat Kohli-led were bowled out for 70 runs as their batting couldn’t survive the heat. Their next game is now at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore against the Mumbai Indians (MI), who also lost their first match against Delhi Capitals (DC).

Going into their first home game in this edition’s IPL, RCB need to be wary of one cricketer, whom they traded to the Mumbai-based franchise and that’s Quinton De Kock. The South African wicketkeeper-batsman got off to an impressive start in the last encounter, but couldn’t go on and score big. He would be keen to take his team off to a decent start with the bat against his former team.

Record against the opposition (RCB):

De Kock has scored 243 runs from four innings against Virat’s men at an incredible average of 60.75 with three fifties. The numbers are – 60, 108, 69, 6

Record at the venue (M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore):

The southpaw also has a decent record at the particular venue in the T20 format. In 9 innings, he has notched 361 runs at an average of 40.11, a strike-rate of 149.17. Quinton also boasts of one century, 2 fifties at the ground.

In his 6 T20 innings in 2018 at this venue, De Kock has scores of 7, 29, 53, 18, 26, 45

Recent form:

His form of late has been impressive as well with scores of 27, 13, 6, 51, 121, 94, 81 In his last 7 innings across all formats

In his last 9 innings in Twenty20s, he has scores of 27, 13, 5, 86*, 93, 9, 108, 31, 74

Dream11 Scenario:

The Proteas cricketer costs 9.5 credits in the Keeper category and is picked by 67% of teams. The fact that, apart from a decent record at this venue, he opens the batting, it won’t be a bad decision to pick him.
