BLR vs RR Must Picks
Jos Buttler has dominated this tournament like no other batter and is likely to do so again in this match. The current Orange Cap holder has scored 491 runs in seven matches, with an average of 81.83 and a strike rate of 161.51. He has three centuries and two half-centuries to his name.
Shahbaz Ahmed has yet to pick up a wicket in the tournament, but he has bowled with a respectable economy rate. He has been able to finish matches and take on some of the best bowlers with the bat. Shahbaz may have to play a similar role in this match as he has in the previous few.
Glenn Maxwell hasn’t been himself in the last two games, but he has the ability to change the course of a game at will. He has scored 124 runs in five matches, with a strike rate of 180 and an average of 31. Maxwell is an absolute must-have for your fantasy team.
The success of the RCB is dependent on Faf du Plessis’ batting performance in a match. This was evident in the previous game, when he was ejected after allowing only 5 runs while the entire team piled up 68. He would be expected to get the team off to a fast start and to lead from the front.
Yuzvendra Chahal continues to lead the bowling charts, with 18 wickets in seven matches at an average of 11.33, an economy of 7.28, and a strike rate of 9.3. He will almost certainly play a significant role against his former team.
