In the 22nd match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will be locking horns with Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) at Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Thursday. This season hasn’t gone as per the plans for KXIP under KL Rahul as in the last game CSK the bowlers got a rude awakening.
While the trio of Rahul, Nicholas Pooran, and Mayank Agarwal have delivered consistently with the bat, the bowlers haven’t been able to come up with the goods. KXIP are currently dwelling at the bottom of the table with just one win in five games and would desperately want to turn things around on Thursday.
On the other hand, SRH has done relatively better with two wins in five games. However, they will be missing the services of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mitchell Marsh to injuries, which now leaves David Warner and the team management with a lot of selection questions. While SRH’s middle order has done a decent job well in recent games, Bhuvneshwar’s absence is one that SRH will be most worried about with Siddharth Kaul looking out of his depth against MI.

With both teams looking for a morale-boosting win on Thursday, we should be in for an entertaining game at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. 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 KXIP, KL Rahul 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
Mayank Agarwal, David Warner, Mandeep Singh, Abdul Samad, and Kane Williamson have always been the prime contenders for the fantasy cricket. Even, Priyam Garg 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 Manish Pandey, and Karun Nair (if he plays).

Bowlers

Bowlers like Rashid Khan, T Natarajan, Mohammed Shami, and Ravi Bishnoi become the obvious choices for the IPL Fantasy XI on the sticky track of Dubai.
