Let us take you all to the Probable Fantasy XI you can create with the following tips:-
Wicket-Keepers
Going by the current form, Quinton de Kock seems to be a better pick for fantasy cricket in the wicket-keeping department. However, the Mumbai pitch is supposed to be bowling friendly wicket and Parthiv Patel has been quite inconsistent with his form lately, but one has to agree with the fact a player of his stature can gain his form back in any game.
Batsmen
Going by the current batting form of both the teams, AB de Villiers, Rohit Sharma, and Kieron Pollard are one of the prime contenders for the fantasy cricket. However, it was difficult to ignore a player of Virat Kohli’s stature is very difficult, but his credit points in nasty cricket are very high. Apart from them, there are some useful batsmen in the line-ups as well, like Ishan Kishan and Surya Kumar Yadav.
All-rounders
There are some really reliable all-rounders in both the teams but going by the current form, Marcus Stoinis, Hardik Pandya, and Moeen Ali to be the perfect fit. Apart from them, the good all-rounder for fantasy cricket is Krunal Pandya.
