In the 52nd match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will be locking horns with Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Saturday. SRH is still in contention to reach the playoffs owing to their phenomenal win over Delhi Capitals earlier in the week.

The SRH team management took a tough decision in dropping Jonny Bairstow to create stability in the middle order, and it paid rich dividends. With Rashid Khan seemingly at the peak of his powers, SRH will be eyeing a crucial win in Sharjah. On the other hand, RCB will be entering as a hot favorite for the game, as Virat Kohli and his men have already won seven games in IPL 2020. Chris Morris has added some much-needed depth and stability to the RCB’s bowling attack which also has Yuzvendra Chahal and Washington Sundar.

RCB will have fond memories of their win against SRH in the reverse fixture, although they will be wary of a wounded Warner and co. this time around. While SRH battle to stay alive in IPL 2020, RCB is eyeing a playoff spot for the first time since 2016. With a lot at stake for both the teams in this game, we could be in for another cracking game in IPL 2020.

Let us take you all to the Probable Fantasy XI you can create with the following tips:-

Wicket-Keepers

AB de Villiers 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 SRH, Wridhhiman Saha 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 seems the better pick.

Batsmen

Virat Kohli, Aaron Finch, Devdutt Padikkal, David Warner, and Manish Pandey have always been the prime contenders for fantasy cricket. Even, Gurkeerat Mann also is 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 Priyam Garg, and Gurkeerat Mann.

All-rounders

There are some really reliable all-rounders in both the teams but citing the pitch in Sharjah, Jason Holder, Vijay Shankar, and Chris Morris seems to be the perfect fit. Apart from them, the good all-rounder for IPL fantasy cricket is Washington Sundar.

Bowlers

Both the teams don’t have decent bowling line-ups but they have managed to do a decent job. Bowlers like  Navdeep Saini, Mohammed Siraj, Yuzvendra Chahal, T Natarajan, and Rashid Khan become the obvious choices for the IPL Fantasy XI on the sticky track of Abu Dhabi. Apart from them, some crucial bowlers can be like, Sandeep Sharma, Umesh Yadav, and Khaleel Ahmed.
