Fantasy Tips of The Day
Having represented Bangalore earlier, Tim Southee understands the conditions at the Chinnaswamy. Moreover, he has dismissed Virat Kohli 10 times in international cricket.
Glenn Maxwell and Faf du Plessis have collectively slammed seven fifties this season, overall providing an average of 15.66 boundaries per game.
When these teams met earlier in the competition, Shardul Thakur (68 off 29 and a wicket) and Varun Chakaravarthy (four wickets) were the power players.
Suyash Sharma has taken seven wickets in this league – of which four have rattled the stumps. Furthermore, he ended up with a three-for when he last bowled against Bangalore.
Only twice has Josh Hazlewood bowled against Kolkata, finishing with a two-for on both occasions.
Given Bangalore’s batting woes, Finn Allen, who has generated bonus points for smashing a half-century and two thirties in his last five T20s, might get a look in.
Given their encouraging numbers versus Bangalore, Sunil Narine (232 runs at 29 and 23 wickets) and Andre Russell (395 runs at 40 and 10 wickets) might end up making an impact in this contest.
Mohammed Siraj (11 wickets) featured in the Best11 for five consecutive T20s.
