In the 17th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 will be played between defending champions Mumbai Indians (MI) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. After two disappointing losses to begin their campaign, the SRH seems to have a decent comeback with wins against the likes of CSK and DC. However, they would be worried over Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s fitness, especially with a star-studded MI side awaiting them.
Speaking of the Mumbai Indians, Rohit Sharma and his men will be coming into the game after a brilliant win over KXIP. The last time these two sides met in an IPL fixture, MI managed to register a win in a Super Over thriller, although the Sunrisers didn’t have Warner and Bairstow in that game.

With both of them set to star for the Sunrisers at the high-scoring Sharjah Cricket Stadium, we should be in for a highly entertaining game on a double-header Sunday in IPL 2020.
Let us take you all to the Probable Fantasy XI you can create with the following tips:-
Wicket-Keepers
With none of the players having much of a practice, Jonny Bairstow seems to be a better pick as he has been known for making a strong comeback and he will be much more effective on slow pitches this season. However, for MI, Quinton de Kock will be keeping the wickets as he is known for playing match-winning knocks, but in order to maintain the balance of the IPL Fantasy XI, Bairstow seems better pick.
Batsmen
Rohit Sharma, David Warner, Surya Kumar Yadav, Abdul Samad, and Kane Williamson have always been the prime contenders for the fantasy cricket. Even, Riyan Parag can also be added in fantasy cricket and that will depend on the balance of the squad. Apart from them, there are some useful batsmen in the line-ups as well, like Kane Williamson, and Saurabh Tiwary (if he plays).

All-rounders
There are some really reliable all-rounders in both the teams but citing the pitch in Sharjah, Kieron Pollard, Hardik Pandya, and Abhishek Sharma seems to be the perfect fit. Apart from them, the good all-rounder for IPL fantasy cricket is Mohammad Nabi.
Bowlers
Both the teams don’t have decent bowling line-ups but they have managed to do a decent job. Bowlers like Rashid Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah, and Rahul Chahar become the obvious choices for the IPL Fantasy XI on the sticky track of Sharjah. Apart from them, some crucial bowlers can be like, Trent Boult, and T Natarajan
