HYD vs BEN Dream11 Prediction: Batters and Wicket-Keepers
Jonny Bairstow batted at number 4 in the last match against Kolkata which is his actual batting position when he plays for England in T20s and delivered well with the bat scoring a half-century (55 from 40 balls).
He was not the wicketkeeper for Hyderabad in the last match but despite that he gave 80 fantasy points which is very good.
He has scored 61 & 114 runs respectively in his 2 matches against Bengaluru in the Indian T20 league and thus will be looking to perform the same way in this upcoming fixture as well.
He has a Fantasy Gully rating of 9.6 for this fixture and looks in great form as in his last 10 T20 matches he has given an average of 52 fantasy points.
With 700 runs in 18 matches, David Warner has scored the 3rd highest runs against Bengaluru in the Indian T20 league. If we are to calculate how many fantasy points Warner has given in these 18 matches, then it comes down to an estimated average of 50+ fantasy points per match which is a staggering number.
He did not start well in this season as he scored only 3 runs in the 1st match but given that Bengaluru is one of his favourite opposition, he might as well score big in this match and very seldom does Warner fail to deliver in back-to-back matches.
In his last 4 T20 matches at Chennai, he has scores of 3 (vs Kolkata this season), 57, 53 & 44 which goes to show that he has enjoyed batting at this venue in recent times.
Given his overall record in the Indian T20 league, his record against Bengaluru and his record at Chennai he has a Fantasy Gully rating of 8.8 which is quite high, and he should be a must-have in your team.
AB de Villiers was out from professional cricket for 4 months, but he did not look rusty at all as he scored 48 runs from just 27 balls against Mumbai which helped Bengaluru chase the target.
It also looks like he will continue to be the wicketkeeper for the team and thus he can get you extra fantasy points as he did in the 1st match (he took a catch) and thus with both bat and gloves he gave a total of 84 fantasy points and can be a good captaincy or vice-captaincy candidate for this fixture.
His scores in his last 5 matches in the Indian T20 league are 48, 56, 35, 24 and 15 which shows his consistency with the bat.
He has a Fantasy Gully rating of 8.2 as he has given an average of 55 fantasy points in his last 10 T20 matches and should be the first-choice keeper to be selected.
HYD vs BEN Dream11 Prediction: Bowlers
Harshal Patel proved to be a surprise package in the 1st match this season as he picked up a 5-wicket haul against Mumbai and thus was the highest point getter in that match.
He will look to continue the same against Hyderabad as well as this match is also at Chennai and now in his 2 T20 matches at Chennai he has taken 5/27 and 2/19 and thus Chennai has become a good hunting ground for Harshal.
Interestingly, in his last 9 matches of the Indian T20 league which have been played in India he has taken 17 wickets with being wicketless in only 1 match which proves that he has given fantasy points in every match.
Given that he is not valued that high in terms of credits, he can be budget friendly and can help accommodate other high credit players in your team (eg: Kohli, de Villiers, Warner)
Rashid Khan once again proved everyone why he is one of the best players in the T20 format as he took 2/24 against Kolkata in his first match this season.
In his last 9 matches in the Indian T20 league, Rashid has been wicketless in only 1 match and has taken 12 wickets in these matches which proves that with Rashid Khan, fantasy points are guaranteed in every match.
Rashid can prove to be crucial against the likes of Glenn Maxwell and AB de Villiers in the middle overs who in the past have struggled to get going against him.
Chennai might be a rank turner but this season the story seems a little bit different as Pacers have taken more wickets than Spinners so far. Having said that, Rashid Khan is such a great player that he does not need the surface to help his bowling and can give you guaranteed fantasy points irrespective of how the surface is.
T Natarajan is in great form as in his last 5 T20 matches he has taken 1/37, 1/39, 1/33, 2/20 & 3/30 and thus has given fantasy points in each match.
Last season, he played 3 times against Bengaluru and in these 3 matches he took 4 wickets at a decent economy of 6.5 with never being wicketless in a match which again shows that with him fantasy points are guaranteed in almost every match.
He has a Fantasy Gully rating of 7.5 and has given an average of 30 fantasy points in his last 10 T20 matches which might seem less for a fast bowler but enough to get into the dream team.
He can prove to be crucial in the death overs against the likes of de Villiers (whom he had dismissed once last season with a brilliant yorker) and Glenn Maxwell and thus can stop heavy run scoring of Bengaluru in the death overs.
HYD vs BEN Dream11 Prediction: All-Rounders
Mohammad Nabi has taken 5 wickets and scored 130 runs in his last 5 T20 matches and thus has given loads of fantasy points. Further, if we look at his average fantasy points in his last 10 T20 matches, he has given 58 points which is a great number and again proves the form in which Nabi is in.
In his 1st match against Kolkata, he gave 70 fantasy points as he took 2 wickets with the ball and will look to continue the same against Bengaluru as well as he has a great record against Bengaluru in the Indian T20 league.
In his 2 matches against Bengaluru, Nabi has taken 4 wickets at an impressive economy of 5.84 and thus has a good bowling record against them. He did not get enough opportunity to bat in these 2 matches but even if he gets to play some deliveries, he can score additional fantasy points with the bat as well.
His Fantasy Gully rating is 8.2 which is the highest among all-rounders for this match and hence cannot be missed out from your team.
Glenn Maxwell was back at his best against Mumbai in match 1 of this season as he scored 39 runs in 28 balls which included 2 sixes and 3 fours and thus ended up giving 56 fantasy points which was quite high.
As context, he is looking in good form as in his last 4 T20 matches he has scored 128 runs and taken 2 wickets which accounted for an average of 45+ fantasy points in these 4 matches.
In Bengaluru’s last match, Chahal went for plenty of runs and was not as effective and thus Kohli might look at Maxwell as a bowling option and if he bowls an over or two, he might give you extra points as well.
He also was promoted up the order (at number 4) in the last match before de Villiers which shows Kohli’s faith in him and thus he can face more deliveries and get more batting points.
