PROBABLE XIs

Probable Changes
None.
MI - Rohit(C), QDK(Wk), Surya, Krunal, Hardik, Pollard, Coulter-Nile, R Chahar, Jayant, Boult, Bumrah
Probable Changes
None.
Differential pick for GL.
Jayant Yadav. CSK has 4 left handed batsmen in their XI and Jayant Yadav is the lone off spinner in the MI Squad. He would be likely to bowl atleast 3 overs in this game and can get a wicket or two. Also, if MI collapses, he could score some runs with the bat.
Most selected C/VC choices
Faf, Rohit
Safe C/VC choices for SL and Mini GL teams
QDK, Surya, Gaikwad, Moeen
C/VC choices for GL teams
Raina(if batting 1st), Krunal, R Chahar, Ngidi
Hit or Miss C/VC choices for GL (only for Risky users)
Curran, Boult, Bumrah, Jadeja
My Fantasy Team (SL)
(Pre Toss)
Wk - QDK
Bat - Rohit, Surya, Faf, Gaikwad
AR - Curran, Moeen, Krunal
Bowl - Coulter-Nile, R Chahar, Ngidi
Predictions
- Whoever between D Chahar or Boult bowls in the 2nd Innings can be crucial in the powerplay while bowling under lights and can do some early damage.
- Dew is expected to set on in the 2nd Innings so the team chasing would have an advantage.
- Pitch is expected to be neutral with equal help to bowlers and batsmen.
- Rohit and Surya failed in the previous game and atleast one of them will do well today.
- Anyone between Hardik and Pollard could be a punt pick, especially if MI bats first, although can be a crucial pick in the 2nd Innings as well if MI loses early wickets.
- Gaikwad and Faf have been playing consistently well and the law of averages could catch up in any game soon. Either they'll fail in this game or within the next couple. Though, facing Boult and Bumrah in the Powerplay won't be easy.
- Coulter-Nile looked good with the ball in the previous game after his first over and could get a wicket or two in this game, especially if MI bowls first.
Match Outcome
MI to win this game and continue their domination over CSK.
