Fantasy Tips:
The team should be chosen on the basis of the form of the player and not on the basis of liking of any player. You don’t score points for being in the dressing room.
The Captain and Vie Captain need to be selected wisely as both Captain and Vice Captain can help you fetch 2x and 1,5x points respectively.
The pitch conditions and the injury update of the player should be given priority.
Pitch Report:
As seen in the first game it is a high scoring pitch and seeing the dimensions of the ground it should still assist the batman and we could again be in for a high scoring game .
Injury Update:
Both the teams look injury free, even though Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah twisted his ankle in the last T20 it seems he is fit and raring to grow.
