MUM vs CHE Dream11 Prediction: Batters and Wicket-Keepers
Faf du Plessis
With 270 runs, Faf du Plessis is the highest run getter for Chennai this season and has given consistent points throughout his 6 matches.
Last season in 1 of the matches against Mumbai he had scored 58* which was the season opener of 2020.
With Mumbai taking most of the wickets in the middle and death overs, Faf can be a perfect pick for this match as he gets going inside the powerplay itself and thus could score 30 odd runs in quick time inside the first 6 overs.
Suryakumar Yadav
Suryakumar might have scored only 16 runs in the last match but has given consistent points throughout the seasons in all his other matches. He is averaging 48 fantasy points this season which is a good number.
Since joining Mumbai, Surya has batted against Chennai 6 times and in these matches, he has produced scores of 17, 15, 71*, 59, 44 and 43.
Also, he is batting with a strike rate of 145 this season and thus most of his runs are scored through boundaries and this there is always a chance of getting extra boundary bonus along with runs.
Quinton de Kock
With 70* in the last match, de Kock was back at his best and gave 106 fantasy points.
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 a 70* in the last match and thus going by the same pattern de Kock might give a great return in this match as well.
Going by the choices for this match between wicket keepers which is Dhoni who is underperforming this season and Kishan who is again most likely to sit out, de Kock is the ideal choice.
Also, not to forget that he can give wicketkeeping fantasy points as well and thus even if he scores in the 20s or 30s, he can give good fantasy points overall.
MUM vs CHE Dream11 Prediction: Bowlers
Trent Boult
Boult has taken 8 wickets against Chennai in his last 5 matches with being wicketless in only 1 match and thus has given good returns in recent times against Chennai. In fact, he has played against Chennai once at this venue (in 2018 when he was with Delhi) and in that match he picked up 2/20.
Most of Boult’s wickets this season have come at the death and this could prove vital against the likes of Jadeja, Dhoni and Rayudu as only Jadeja have been scoring well at the death but that was mostly because of bad bowling which is unlikely with Boult.
Rahul Chahar
Rahul Chahar is the leading wicket taker for Mumbai this season with 11 wickets in 6 matches and has given guaranteed fantasy points in almost every match barring just the 1st match of this season. He is averaging 59 fantasy points per match this season.
His love for bowling at Delhi continues as in his 2 matches here he has taken 2/33 and 3/19.
Moreover, in his last 4 matches against Chennai, he has taken 2/22, 1/36, 1/14 and 2/14 and thus has given good fantasy points in recent matches against them.
Lungi Ngidi
Lungi Ngidi in his 2 matches this season has bowling figures of 2/35 and 3/28 and thus gave 54 and 101 fantasy points, respectively.
In the Indian T20 league, he has played 13 matches and has never been wicketless in a match which is a phenomenal thing and thus guarantees fantasy points in every match. He has taken a total of 25 wickets in his 13 matches and thus has averaged 50+ points per match in the Indian T20 league.
He is in great form as in the recently concluded CSA T20 challenge he took 10 wickets in just 5 matches with being wicketless in none of the matches and thus gave an average of 50+ points per match.
He has a Fantasy Gully rating of 8.2 for this fixture which is the 3rd highest among all bowlers.
MUM vs CHE Dream11 Prediction: All-Rounders
Moeen Ali
With 148 runs and 4 wickets, Moeen Ali has been giving points consistently throughout this season with both bat and ball. He is averaging 71 fantasy points per match this season which is excellent.
In his 2 matches against Mumbai in the Indian T20 league, Moeen has scored 63 runs and taken 2 wickets and thus has given 110+ fantasy points in these 2 matches.
Given that this match is at Delhi which somewhat does assist the spinners and Mumbai do have many left handers in their line-up, Moeen can be effective even more with the ball in this match.
Among all-rounders, he has the highest Fantasy Gully rating for this fixture with 8.7
Sam Curran
Sam Curran in his 1st match this season was wicketless with the ball but scored 34 runs with the bat and in all the other 5 matches, he did not score that big with the bat but took at least a wicket in each of the matches and thus has given guaranteed returns in each of the matches so far.
Fantasy points scored by him this season read 29, 29, 37, 71, 41 and 60 and as stated above is very consistent.
He has a more than decent record against Mumbai in the Indian T20 league having scored 78 runs and taken 2 wickets in his 3 matches and thus has given an average of 45+ fantasy points per match in these 3 matches.
Talking about his form, he has given 45 fantasy points per match in his last 10 T20 matches which is a great number.
Krunal Pandya
Krunal Pandya was back at his best against Rajasthan in the last match after struggling to give points in the middle matches as points given by him this season read 55, 5, 21, 30, 53 and 53.
If Mumbai persists with the same playing XI as the last match, we can see Krunal again batting at number 4 and this could mean that he can give good points with the bat. As context, Krunal has a batting average of 27 and strike rate of 185 whenever he has batted at number 4 or above as opposed to that of 15 and 135 at other positions.
Talking about his bowling, he has taken 5 wickets in his last 5 matches against Chennai and thus if he manages to take at least a wicket he can still give you a total of 50+ fantasy points both with bat and ball.
