DEL vs BEN Dream11 Prediction: Batters and Wicket-Keepers
Shikhar Dhawan
Shikhar Dhawan is the leading run getter for Delhi with 259 runs and has given points on a regular basis barring just one match.
He has given 43, 60, 135, 42 and 143 fantasy points in his 5 matches this season which are pretty good numbers. Last season he was either giving loads of points in a match or nothing but this season he has been more than consistent and thus he can be a bankable player for this match.
His last 3 scores against Bengaluru in the Indian T20 league read 54, 32 and 50 which is again very consistent.
Among all Batsmen and wicket keepers for this fixture he has a Fantasy Gully rating of 9.4 which is the highest among all players for this fixture.
Rishabh Pant
After starting slowly in the first match, Pant was back at his best in his recent 4 matches as he scored 71, 40, 21 and 84 fantasy points.
He has a good record against Bengaluru in the Indian T20 league as in his 9 matches he has piled up 319 runs at a strike rate of 154 which accounts to an estimated average of 45 points per match and that is only with the bat.
With him being a wicketkeeper, there is always a chance of him getting extra points apart from runs in the form of stumpings, catches and run outs.
In the 5 T20 matches against ENG, he had scores of 30, 25, 26 and 21 at this venue which are more than decent for a wicketkeeper as he can give other points as well apart from runs.
Virat Kohli
In the recent 5 match IND/ENG T20I series which was played at this venue, Kohli had scored 231 runs (including 3 fifties) in 5 matches at a strike rate of 147 and thus gave an average of 60+ fantasy points per game in that series.
Also, in his last 9 matches against Delhi in the Indian T20 league, he has scored 427 runs and thus has given at least 50 fantasy points per match. Overall, in the Indian T20 league he has a batting average of 59.80 against Delhi which is a staggering number.
Given that this match is Ahmedabad wherein the sixes are hard to come by as the ground dimensions are very big, having a player like Kohli will be an added advantage as most runs come in singles/doubles and fours.
DEL vs BEN Dream11 Prediction: Bowlers
Harshal Patel
With 15 wickets in 5 matches, Harshal Patel is the leading wicket taker this season and has scored consistent fantasy points with 77, 79, 68, 64 and 175 points, respectively.
In his only T20 match played at this venue, he took 2/23 and thus has a little psychological advantage.
Most of his wickets have come in the death overs and thus he can be useful against the likes of Stoinis and Hetmyer who are yet to prove with the bat this season and Axar Patel who has played only a single match.
Given his consistency with the ball, he can be a good captain/vice-captain choice at this venue.
His Fantasy Gully rating of 9.2 which is the 2nd highest among all players for this fixture.
Avesh Khan
Avesh Khan has taken 11 wickets this season and has been more than consistent with the ball as his fantasy points in 5 matches read 91, 54, 29, 83 and 74 and thus has been part of the Dream team in every match.
With Rabada struggling to find the same form as he was in the last year, Avesh can be a great pick for this match. Also, with Pacers getting more offerings at this venue, he can be much more beneficial.
He is in sensational form as in his last 10 T20 matches he has given an average of <> fantasy points which is a great number. He is also a budget friendly pick.
Kyle Jamieson
Jamieson has been a silent performer this season as he has taken 6 wickets in his 5 matches and has given 37, 31, 99, 41 and 35 fantasy points respectively which are more than decent returns as he was in the Dream team on 4 of these occasions.
A tall and fast bowler like him can get good assistance from the surface at this venue as in the recent IND/ENG 5-match T20 series, Pacers were the dominant factor.
Also, with Bengaluru playing one batsman short, Jamieson can be more than handy with the bat as he has already scored 43 runs in his 4 innings this season and those runs have come at a strike rate of 143.
DEL vs BEN Dream11 Prediction: All-Rounders
Glenn Maxwell
Glenn Maxwell has given consistent points throughout this season barring just one match in which he did not get to bat as the openers did the entire job. He has so far given 31, 20, 105, 92 and 56 fantasy points in his 5 matches this season.
With 198 runs, he is the highest run-getter for Bengaluru this season.
Last season in one of the matches against Delhi, he had scored 32 from just 24 balls.
With the boundaries being larger in terms of dimensions, someone like Maxwell can be effective at this venue as he does hit huge sixes and can also run quickly and thus more chances of converting the ones into twos.
With too many left handers in the Delhi squad (Dhawan, Pant, Hetmyer) Maxwell’s off breaks can also come in handy.
Axar Patel
After recovering from Covid, Patel made his impact in the match right away by taking 2 wickets in the match and thus giving 72 points.
As far as his bowling is considered, he has taken 15 wickets in his 14 matches against Bengaluru in the Indian T20 league with being wicketless in only 3 matches and thus has given regular points in almost every match.
Psychologically, this match can give him an edge over other all-rounders as recently he created havoc against ENG in Test matches here and it is also his home ground where he has played most of his cricket.
