Top Fantasy Predictions for HYD vs MUM: Batters and Wicket-Keepers
Jonny Bairstow
With 248 runs, Bairstow is the leading run getter for Hyderabad this season and has given consistent fantasy points in all his matches as the points given by him read 46, 12, 63, 110, 76, 17 and 80.
In the reverse fixture earlier this season, Bairstow had scored 43 runs in just 22 balls and thus gave 76 fantasy points in that match.
Given that Mumbai bowlers are struggling to take wickets inside the powerplay overs this season, a player like Bairstow can be benefited from the same and can score big runs in this fixture.
Also, not to forget that he can give bonus wicketkeeping fantasy points with the gloves as well.
With a Fantasy Gully rating of 9.3, he is the highest rated player for this fixture.
Rohit Sharma
He is the leading run getter for Mumbai this season with 250 runs and has given good fantasy points in 5 out of his 7 matches. He is averaging 50 fantasy points this season which is a great number.
This season, his batting average is above 35 which was absent in all his previous 4 seasons which goes to show that Rohit is in sublime form and can score big runs in the upcoming matches as well.
So far Delhi has been a batting friendly venue and with powerplay overs being the most effective for the batting sides, a player like Rohit can dominate and score big runs in this fixture.
He has a Fantasy Gully rating of 8.9 which is the 2nd highest among all players for this fixture and thus should be a must-have.
Quinton de Kock
He has a great record against Hyderabad in the Indian T20 league as in his 10 matches he has scored 371 runs which includes 6 scores which are above 40 and only 2 single digit scores and thus has given great points in almost most of these matches. In terms of fantasy points, he has given an average of 45 batting fantasy points against them.
Last season (in 2020) de Kock had a slow start to his campaign as he had scored only 48 runs in his first 4 matches and then in the next matches, he had scores of 67, 23, 53, 78*, 53 and 46*. This season also he started with 47 runs in his first 4 matches and scored 38 and 70* in the recent 2 matches and thus going by the same pattern de Kock might give a great return in this match as well.
Also, not to forget that his wicketkeeping can also fetch extra bonus fantasy points.
Top Fantasy Predictions for HYD vs MUM: Bowlers
Rashid Khan
With 10 wickets in 7 matches Rashid has given consistent points throughout the season and is averaging 55 fantasy points per match in these matches.
If we look at the number of wickets each player has taken for Hyderabad this season, we find that Rashid is 1st in the list with 10 and Khaleel Ahmed is 2nd in the list but has taken only 4 wickets which is less than half of what Rashid has taken, and this proves the dominance of Rashid and goes to show how brilliant he is with the ball.
Not only that, but he can also give that slight economy bonus as well along with points with wickets which could prove the differentiating factor between a bowler ending up in the Dream team.
Trent Boult
With 8 wickets in 7 matches, Boult has been performing well with the ball in odd matches and has given an average of 41 fantasy points per match this season.
In his last 3 matches against Hyderabad, Boult has taken 3/28 (this season), 2/28 and & 1/37 and thus has done well against Hyderabad in recent times.
Last season, he had taken most of wickets inside the powerplay but this season he has been effective at the death and this could prove to be effective for him as Hyderabad’s middle order is struggling this season.
Rahul Chahar
Chahar might have been wicketless in the last match Chennai, but he has performed well in all his previous 5 matches this season as his performances in these matches are 2/33, 1/19, 1/29, 3/19 and 4/27.
In fact, in the reverse fixture earlier, he had taken 3/19 against Hyderabad and thus confidence wise he will be raring to go in this fixture.
With David Warner not playing for Hyderabad in the last match, all the batsmen including the all-rounders (Shankar and Nabi) are right handers and this could work in favor of Rahul Chahar as he can grip the ball and take it away from the right handers.
Top Fantasy Predictions for HYD vs MUM: All-Rounders
Kieron Pollard
With an all-round performance of 87* and 2 wickets, Pollard gave a massive 179 fantasy points. This season he is averaging 52 fantasy points in his 7 matches.
If we look at his last 5 batting scores against Hyderabad, it reads 35*(this season), 41, 25*, 10 and 46* all of which have collectively come at a heavy strike rate and thus even if these scores look less, they can fetch good boundary bonus.
Given that Mumbai is playing with 1 proper batsman short (Kishan), Pollard has a chance to face more deliveries and thus can give good runs. Also, he can pick odd wickets as he is the 6th bowling option for Mumbai this season and has already bowled in 5 matches so far.
Krunal Pandya
It seems that Mumbai will persist with him at number 4 with the bat irrespective of maintaining the left/right combinations and this would mean that Krunal can get to face more deliveries and thus bat long as it was evident in the last 2 matches as he scored 32 and 39 runs, respectively.
As far as his bowling is concerned, he was not used much in the last 2 matches but that was more because left handers were at the crease and given that Hyderabad have only Warner in their top order who is left-handed (but did not play in the last match), Krunal can get few overs under his belt and thus can get you an odd wicket as well. As context, he has taken 4 wickets in his last 4 matches against Hyderabad.
Mohammad Nabi
He played in the 1st match of Hyderabad this season against Kolkata in which he took 2 wickets and scored 14 runs and thus scored 70 fantasy points and then was out for a while with returning against Rajasthan in the recent match however in that match he was ineffective.
Against Mumbai he has played 4 matches in the Indian T20 league and in these matches he has taken 4 wickets and scored 56 runs and thus has given an average of 45+ fantasy points in these matches.
He bowls off spin and thus can be effective against the likes of de Kock and Krunal.
He is averaging 56 fantasy points in his last 10 T20 matches and thus can be considered as an in-form player.
