MUM vs RAJ Dream11 Prediction: Batters and Wicket-Keepers
Rohit Sharma
With 201 runs in 5 matches Rohit is the leading run getter for Mumbai this season and has given 84, 63, 46, 58 and 26 fantasy points which is very much consistent.
He has a good record at Delhi in T20 matches as in his 16 matches here he has scored 512 runs (strike rate of 145) which includes 4 fifties and 4 thirties and if we are to convert this into fantasy points per match then it comes down to 45 which is a great number.
Given that de Kock is struggling to get going, Rohit has not played aggressively and is batting with a role of an anchor and thus occupies the crease for a long time which can get you more runs.
Jos Buttler
Jos Buttler has been on and off this season but given that this match is against Mumbai, he can be preferred as the only other options are Ishan Kishan and de Kock who have been flop so far this season and Sanju Samson who has performed in odd matches.
Moreover, against Mumbai Jos has a great record in the Indian T20 league as in his 4 batting innings against them he has scores of 70, 89, 94* and 6 and thus in 3 out of these 4 matches he has given loads of fantasy points.
Also, this match is at Delhi where Buttler has scored 173 runs (at a strike rate of 180) in 5 matches and thus has given an average of 50+ fantasy points per match at this venue which is a great number.
Thus, overall looking at his record at the venue and against Mumbai he has a Fantasy Gully rating of 8.7 which is the 3rd highest among all players and should be a must have.
Suryakumar Yadav
Suryakumar Yadav has delivered good returns in odd matches for Mumbai as his fantasy points scored this season read 54, 36, 33, 91 and 47 fantasy points which are more than decent numbers.
Since joining Mumbai, he has played against Rajasthan in 6 matches and his scores in these matches read 40, 79*, 34, 16, 38 and 72 and thus barring just 1 match he has given great returns (close to 45+ fantasy points).
A little more than 2/3rd of his runs this season have come in boundaries (106 out of 154 runs) and thus if he bats long, there is a chance of getting a good boundary bonus as well.
With 52 fantasy points per match this season, Suryakumar Yadav is an in-form pick.
MUM vs RAJ Dream11 Prediction: Bowlers
Chetan Sakariya
With 7 wickets in 5 matches, Sakariya has given great returns in 3 out of his 5 matches this season as fantasy points scored by him read 37, 4, 83, 4 and 91.
Overall, in his small T20 career of 21 matches, he has taken 35 wickets and has been wicketless in only 3 matches which proves that he guarantees fantasy points in every match.
Given that his credits are very low, he is a budget friendly pick and thus picking him can be beneficial for picking other big budget players (Rohit, Surya, Buttler, Morris)
Trent Boult
Boult scored 37, 72 and 107 in his first 3 matches respectively but in the recent 2 matches he has not delivered with the ball and thus you can expect him to bounce back soon as this match is at Delhi, a ground wherein he has given decent returns in recent matches.
In his last 8 T20 matches at this venue, he has taken 2-wicket hauls in 6 matches, and in the other two matches has taken 1 and 0 wickets respectively and thus in 6 of the matches has given at least 50 fantasy points per match. Overall, at this venue he has taken 15 wickets in 10 matches with being wicketless in only one match which proves that he guarantees fantasy points at this venue.
Also, against Rajasthan he has taken 8 wickets in 6 matches with being wicketless in only 1 match thus has given regular returns against Rajasthan as well.
All these factors considered; Boult has a Fantasy Gully rating of 8.3 which is good for a fast bowler.
Rahul Chahar
With 9 wickets in his 5 matches so far, Rahul Chahar is the leading wicket taker for Mumbai this season. Barring the 1st match, he has given positive returns in every other matches (total 282 fantasy points in the other 4 matches)
In his only T20 match ever at this venue, Rahul Chahar took 3/19 and thus psychologically he does have an advantage of playing again at this venue.
Talking about his form, he has given an average of 62 fantasy points per match in his last 10 T20 games which is a great number.
MUM vs RAJ Dream11 Prediction: All-Rounders
Chris Morris
With 9 wickets and 48 runs Morris has delivered with both bat and ball and has given consistent fantasy points in every match barring just one. He has scored 136, 10, 60, 83 and 62 fantasy points in his 5 matches so far this season.
He has played most of his matches for Delhi in the Indian T20 league and thus has enough idea as to how this surface plays and thus can be beneficial in giving fantasy points with both bat and ball.
As context, in his 13 T20 matches at Delhi, he has taken 14 wickets and scored 170 runs (at a strike rate of 193) which adds up to an average of 45+ fantasy points per match at this venue.
Among all players for this fixture, he has the highest Fantasy Gully rating with 9.3 and should be a must-have.
Krunal Pandya
Krunal Pandya started this season well as he took a wicket in each of his first 3 matches but then was wicketless in his next 2 and thus has given 5, 21, 30, 53 and 53 fantasy points, respectively.
He has scored 77 runs and taken 2 wickets in 3 matches at Delhi and thus has a decent record at this venue in the Indian T20 league as this is approximately 50 fantasy points per match.
With Hardik not bowling at all and Pollard not getting enough overs under his belt, Krunal can be the go-to all-rounder for Mumbai in this fixture.
With a Fantasy Gully rating of 7.5, Krunal has given an average of 47 points per match in his last 10 T20 games which is a very good number.
