MUM vs RAJ 11Wickets Fantasy Cricket Tips: Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Update – IPL 2020, Match 20

Match Details:

The 20th match of the Indian T20 League 2020 will be played between Mumbai and Rajasthan at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi.

This game is scheduled to start at 07:30 PM IST (06:00 PM local time) (02:00 PM UTC). The game will be telecasted on the Star Sports Network (Available in English, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Bengali). Also, live streaming will be available on Disney+ Hotstar.

Preview:

Heading into this game, Mumbai and Rajasthan have had rather contrasting tales. Mumbai started off slow but are in a comfortable position now. They won in their last game against Hyderabad and now find themselves on a two-match winning streak. Their middle-order has been their greatest strength and with Quinton de Kock back to form, their batting department is operating on a whole different level. They’ll only hope that their ace, Jasprit Bumrah is back to his best but then again, it is just a matter of time before that happens too.

Rajasthan, on the other hand, started off strongly in the competition, having won 2 in 2 matches but slowly lost their way as they moved out of Sharjah. They have lost back to back games with their most recent one being against Bangalore. They will look to get back to winning ways as soon as possible lest it is going to hurt their chances for a straight qualification. They are currently placed 5th on the points table while their opponents in Mumbai are sitting at the top of the table.

MUM vs RAJ Steal Picks for Today’s Dream11 Match:

Ishan Kishan (8.5 credits) – Ishan Kishan has matured a lot as a batsman and has been playing some positive brand of cricket. The left-handed keeper-batsman has scored 158 runs from 3 innings and looks all set for another big score. He is a steal for just 8.5 credits.

Krunal Pandya (8.5 credits) – Krunal Pandya had a field day on Sunday. He walked out to bat with only 4 balls left in the first innings and smashed 20 runs off the last four deliveries which inadvertently went on to make the difference in the game. With the ball, he was more than decent on a track which supported batsman; finishing with 4-0-35-1.

Mahipal Lomror (8.0 credits) – The young lad from Rajasthan played a very special knock in his first match of the season against Bangalore. He stroked his way to a well constructed 39-ball 47-run knock and it was absolutely essential for Rajasthan. That particular knock helped his side get to 150 which is a respectable total. He is a steal for just 8 credits.
