Chris Gayle is expected to make a comeback in the side after recovering from food poison. The bowlers like Bishnoi and Arshdeep have come good for the team in the recent matches.

BLR vs PJB MPL Prediction

Match Info
Match 31, Indian Premier League, 2020
Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Kings XI Punjab
Date- Thursday, 15th October 2020Time- 7:30 PM (IST), 6:00 PM (Local Time)
Venue- Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah

Pitch Report- Though the ground is a batting-friendly pitch, the teams that win the toss in T20 matches here prefer bowling first. This is considering the dew factor. As most of the T20 matches are evening-night matches, the dew falling and wide cracks on the pitch makes it difficult for the bowlers to control the ball in the second inning. The average first inning score here is around 195. It’s a starry contest and will be a total run-affair.
Weather Report- There are no chances of rain at Sharjah. It will be a full game!

Team Overview:

BLR made an important change in the last second game, bringing in Chris Morris, who is a valuable inclusion in any T20 team, he took 2 wickets in the last game. They’ll have to rethink about Finch or give him the last chance in this game.
KXIP will bring Gayle. That’s what the news is, and we hope that’s true. Maxwell or Mujeeb will make way for Gayle if that happens.

Expected Change- No change is expected from BLR, whereas one/two change from KXIP is expected.
Risky Picks-  S Dube from Bangalore & G Maxwell from Punjab can be your risky picks for your fantasy teams in this game.

BLR vs PJB MPL Fantasy Cricket Tips

Captain Choices

V Kohli- A man in form and it would be a mistake to not pick him as a captain in the BLR vs PJB today match prediction. Although he started in a dull fashion, but has come on track and has scored 256 runs in 7 matches. With these consistent performances, he has surely shown enough promise and turns out to be the best choice of the captaincy slot, if you prefer to experience in the batting unit of your fantasy team.

KL Rahul- In 7 matches in IPL 2020, he has scored 387 runs and is the leading run-scorer of the tournament. His form is very important for the team to reclaim their winning momentum back to safeguard their place in the qualifiers. Although he has not been able to win the match for the team, his contributions have been significant along with leading the team.

Vice-Captain choices

A Villiers – Often called Mr. 360, he is one of the best vice-captains picks for your fantasy team. Though he had not played any international match ahead of the IPL, he was quite impressive in the last league match and helped the team to post a strong total on the board. With this form, he is surely one of the best picks for BLR vs PJB prediction.

M Agarwal- A very good pick for the vice-captain slot from the Punjab team has been impressive in this year’s IPL. He has scored 337 runs in 7 matches and is looking in good touch to give a good opening stand to the team along with KL Rahul.

X-factors

C Morris- A South African cricketer who has been an amazing T20 player over the years in the IPL has been impressive for the BLR franchise this year. As always, he has been in a thick-of-things with a bowl in his hand. With that kind of form, if he gets a chance he can contribute with the bat too and can be an X-factor from the BLR side.

N Pooran– A powerful hitter from the West Indies is surely an X-factor pick owing to his power-packed performances and consistency in the last few matches. Although he could not score enough runs in the last match, he is gradually forming a core part of the batting unit and can increase your fantasy points with this momentum.
