5. Hardik Pandya
6. Rahul Tewatia
7. Shivam Dube
8. Trent Boult(VC)
9. Mustafizur Rahman
10. Jasprit Bumrah
11. Rahul Chahar
– Going heavy on Mumbai as they’re looking strong to win this encounter.
– Quinton de Kock has averaged above 40 at more than 5 venue and H2H matches which makes him a good captain choice.
– Taking punt on Boult as VC especially while bowling first as he hasn’t went wicket less nor at venue neither in H2H matches.
– Shivam Dube and Rahul Tewatia can give decent fantasy points with the help of bat and ball.
– Dropped both Yashasvi Jaiswal and Evin Lewis as they might not go big in two consecutive matches especially at this slow surface.
– Rahul Chahar might be a decent punt at this spin favoured surface of Sharjah.
– Can take David Miller at the place of Shivam Dube as he has averaged 40 in 11 H2H innings.
Small League Combination 2 –
1. Sanju Samson(VC)
2. Quinton de Kock
3. Suryakumar Yadav(C)
4. Hardik Pandya
5. David Miller
6. Krunal Pandya
7. Kieron Pollard
8. Rahul Tewatia
9. Trent Boult
10. Mustafizur Rahman
11. Jasprit Bumrah
– Dropped Rohit as he doesn’t have good numbers at venue and H2H matches which satisfies his standard and credits.
– Suryakumar Yadav looked in good touch during the last match so a big knock might be on the way.
– Samson has phenomenal numbers at both venue and H2H matches which makes him a good VC choice.
– Hardik and Pollard will be best punts if a couple of top order batters from Mumbai depart early.
– Expecting atleast a decent knock from David Miller who has averaged 40 in 11 innings against the opponent.

– Going heavy on Rajasthan in GL as they might put up another good show like the last match.
– Sanju Samson might go big again considering his numbers at venue and H2H matches.
– Mustafizur Rahman might be a lethal pick at this surface due to his slower deliveries.
– Krunal Pandya might give decent fantasy points with the bat and ball especially if top order doesn’t do well.
– Can take anyone from Yashasvi Jaiswal or Evin Lewis as both looked in good touch during the last match.
– Chetan Sakariya can also get a couple of wickets at this wicket.
