IPL 2017 Fantasy Guide: Fantasy Tips for Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Mumbai Indians

Fandromeda(Fantasy Tips for Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Mumbai Indians)

Transfer out: Rahul Tripathi, ABD

Transfer in: Rishab Pant, Lasith Malinga

Now, I already have Rohit Sharma, Nitish Rana, David Warner, Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvi in my team for this game.

ABD doesn’t play a game until the last day of the IPL, and hence it makes sense to transfer him out, but then the wicketkeeper problem creeps in. Hence, I first try to assess the wicketkeeping options at our disposal. You need to take the number of games that side has left to take the final call.

Karthik, Parthiv, Pant and Samson are our best bets.

Pant, Samson and Karthik are better batsmen that Parthiv and hence I rule out Parthiv immediately. The fact that Samson doesn’t actually keep wickets, rules him out as well. Now, between Pant and Karthik, I’ll be opting for Pant, one because he bats one position higher than Karthik, and two, because Delhi have three games left as opposed to Gujarat’s two.

For the second transfer, I’ll be drafting in Lasith Malinga, who for now, I’ll be carrying all through. Malinga found his mojo back in the last game and with Mumbai playing three games in 7 days, you can expect him to give you at least 150 points. Lendl Simmons could be a great pick as well, but I cannot draft him in right now because of my team combination. I would still suggest you to go with Malinga, even if you can bring Simmons in, as Malinga is a safer choice.

Bowling Star: Bhuvi/Bumrah(whoever bowls second)

Batting Star: David Warner

Happy team picking 🙂
