Fantasy Cricket Tips for RCB vs KKR
Expect loads of runs with short straight boundaries and not much help for either the spinners or the seamers; PBKS chased down 206 with 6 balls left against RCB at this ground. The side boundaries, though, are sizeable, making hitting across the line a challenge for the batters.
RCB will continue to be without their two Australian stars – all-rounder Glenn Maxwell and pacer Josh Hazlewood. Both of them will be available after April 5th.
RCB are unlikely to make much change to their side after only one loss, but could look to rejig their bowling. Yet they could bring in the experienced Siddarth Kaul for Akash Deep or Shahbaz Ahmed; Mahipal Lomror, who showcased clean striking last season, could also come in for Shahbaz Ahmed with no help available for spinners.
KKR will continue to not have the option of Aaron Finch and Pat Cummins, both of whom will be made available on April 6th. With Umesh Yadav performing brilliantly they didn’t miss Cummins, however, their death bowling with Russell and Mavi remains a concern. KKR are expected to stick to the batting line-up of their previous game, however, Tim Southee, who is available now, could slot in for Mavi as KKR played only three overseas against CSK.
Predicted XI of RCB-KKR for fantasy cricket tips:
RCB predicted XI: Faf du Plessis (c), Virat Kohli, Anuj Rawat, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Sherfane Rutherford, Shahbaz Ahmed, Wanindu Hasaranga, David Willey, Harshal Patel, Siddarth Kaul, Mohammed Siraj
KKR Predicted XI: Venkatesh Iyer, Ajinkya Rahane, Nitish Rana, Shreyas Iyer (c), Sam Billings, Sheldon Jackson (wk), Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Umesh Yadav, Tim Southee, Varun Chakravarthy
Fantasy cricket tips: Andre Russell is the best captaincy option if KKR bats first; he will get promoted in the batting order if wickets don’t fall early and will also bowl his quota of overs. Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy will be assigned to tie down Kohli and Faf but there is no help for spinners on the surface; unlike the previous game where Umesh Yadav made early inroads, with no swing or seam movement available, Umesh could be left out of your fantasy team, so could be David Willey.
Amongst the wicket-keepers, Dinesh Karthik is the better choice for your fantasy team. Nitish Rana came to bat at number 3 against CSK and may also bowl one or two overs to RCB’s left-handers.
Based on the above fantasy cricket tips, this is the best RCB-KKR team on Dream XI:
Wicket-keeper: Dinesh Karthik
Batsman: Faf du Plessis (VC), Shreyas Iyer, Nitish Rana
All-rounder: Venkatesh Iyer, Andre Russell (C), Wanindu Hasaranga
Bowler: Harshal Patel, Varun Chakravarthy, Mohammed Siraj
