The 28th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020, will be expected to be a high-scoring encounter between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Monday. Both teams sit pretty in the top half of the table with four wins in six games. On the one hand, KKR have picked up steam after a slow start to the competition.
With a power-packed batting unit being well complemented by the spin duo of Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine, Knight RIders looking set to reach the playoffs. On the other hand, RCB seems to have found the right balance this season with the additions of Chris Morris and Devdutt Padikkal reaping the rewards so far. Their bowling unit that has often been criticized in the last few seasons has, but they have performed admirably with Chahal leading the way.

With the likes of Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers also looking in fine form, RCB can be expected to register their second consecutive win at Sharjah. However, RCB wouldn’t be too fond of their IPL record against KKR which reads 15-10 against them.
With the likes of Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill taking the field, the match can be expected to be an absolute treat. 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, Dinesh Karthik 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 RCB, AB de Villiers 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, De Villiers will tend to give more points.
Batsmen
Shubman Gill, Rahul Tripathi, Aaron Finch, Virat Kohli, and Devdutt Padikkal have always been the prime contenders for the fantasy cricket. Even, Eoin Morgan 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 Gurkeerat Mann, and Tom Banton(if he plays).
