Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2019-20: Delhi vs Jharkhand Group E, Round 6 – Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Tips – Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Update

Match Details:

The Round 6 match in the Group E of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2019-20 will be played between Delhi and Jharkhand at the CB Patel Ground in Surat.

The match starts at 9:00 AM local time (IST) (3:30 AM GMT).

Preview for Dream11 Fantasy

In a top-of-the-table clash in Group E, Delhi faces Jharkhand at the CB Patel Cricket Stadium in Surat. Both teams have done well this season with good performances with the ball. While Jharkhand won two low scoring encounters with Rahul Shukla leading the way for them. With three wins in four games, Jharkhand is unbeaten in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2019 with their other game being washed out.

On the other hand, Delhi has had a mixed bag with two wins and two washed-out games at this very venue. But they are coming off a shocking loss against the Jammu and Kashmir. Defending 165, they were never in the game as the bowlers failed to keep the opposition run-scoring in the check. Nevertheless, there seems to be nothing to separate the two sides with both Jharkhand and Delhi looking for the all-important win to strengthen their case for a knockout spot.

Weather Condition/Report:

A bright and sunny day is in the forecast with the temperature ranging between 22 and 24 degrees Celsius. A few clouds should also make an appearance with a cloud cover of 31% expected at the start of the game. A breeze from one end could be a factor as well although all conditions should complement a cracking game of cricket.

Pitch Condition/Report:

Although the average first-innings score reads a lowly 104 only this season, the pitch is good for strokeplay. The previous day game at the venue between Delhi and Saurashtra saw over 340 runs being scored although the pacers did get some help early on. It shouldn’t be any different on Friday as well with a similar kind of a wicket expected for this game

Average first innings score: 104 (Four SMA Trophy 2019 Games)

Record of Chasing Teams: Won – 3, Loss – 1

Top Picks:

Virat Singh has impressed for Jharkhand over the last few years in white-ball cricket. He has scored 146 runs in three outings for them at a good rate as well. Given his form, Virat Singh is surely one to watch out for in this game and can be picked in the Dream11 Fantasy side.

Similarly, Nitish Rana is another talented southpaw, who doubles up as a handy off-spinner as well. Lalit Yadav’s presence in the Delhi side adds much-needed balance with both bat and ball. Capable of yielding the long handle as well, Yadav has two wickets so far and looks good for more.

Jharkhand is expected to win this encounter.
