KXIP vs SRH IPL Dream11 Team Prediction Grand League 15 Crores Mega Contest, 24 October

KXIP vs SRH Dream11: The 43rd match of the IPL 2020 will be played between Kings XI Punjab and Sunrisers Hyderabad. Both teams have won 4 matches and lost 6 so far. One more win will increase their prospect of qualifying for the playoffs and one more loss, they will have to rely on other results to qualify. Kings XI Punjab has won last three matches against top 3 teams despite losing 5 straight games on the trot. This has given them a new confidence again. Skipper KL Rahul has been brilliant throughout the competition and is easily holding the orange cap. He has carried his side single handedly throughout along with Mayank Agarwal who is 3rd on the top run scoring list. They do have some death bowling woes but Mohammed Shami has responded brilliantly in the last few matches along with the left-armer Arshdeep Singh. The two wrist-spinners have shown their brilliance but they need to be consistent in the middle overs. They will have to be at their best to keep their chances alive of qualifying further.

Sunrisers Hyderabad, on the other hand, haven’t been at their best either. Their over reliance of Jonny Bairstow and David Warner at the top has not helped their cause. Whenever the top order has failed to deliver, they have struggled to put up a competent score on the board. Manish Pandey hit 8 astonishing sixes in his last innings and put up a match winning performance in the last game. Rashid Khan has been excellent but has lacked support from the other end. In the absence of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Sunrisers have struggled a bit with their pace bowling but T Natarajan’s accurate Yorkers must have given them a lots of confidence. It will need a spirited effort from them to stop the Kings XI’s winning ship.

KXIP vs SRH Dream11 Prediction, Team News, Playing 11

Kings XI Punjab have come back strongly and have showed excellent temperament in the last few games. They were on the brink of been knocked out of the tournament but then came back and defeated the top 3 teams of the competition. They won some close games, especially the win in the super over against Mumbai Indians was memorable. Rahul averages a staggering 67 in the competition and is holding the orange cap while Pooran’s strike rate of 183 shows his ability in the middle overs. Rahul and Agarwal have been the most successful opening pair of the tournament while the addition of Chris Gayle at No.3 has given them the confidence they needed desperately. Pooran’s match winning innings in the last game against a strong Delhi attack showed how dangerous he can be on his day. In the bowling department, Shami has nailed his Yorkers in the last couple of games which has eased off the pressure a bit. Young legspinner Ravi Bishnoi has been excellent on his debut IPL with his googlies while Arshdeep Singh adds variety to the attack. They don’t have any injury concerns as of now and will look to continue the same winning eleven.

Sunrisers Hyderabad must have gained some confidence in their last win against Rajasthan Royals. Their win must have felt even sweeter as they lost their giant openers Warner and Bairstow early. But Manish Pandey and Vijay Shankar shared an unbeaten century partnership to take the team home. The fact that this performance came at the same Dubai ground will boost them confidence. Young Priyam Garg has been little inconsistent in the middle order and SRH will look for his consistency in the middle and late overs. Spin bowling has looked secure with Rashid Khan doing what he does the best but the fast bowling has been weakened with Bhuvneshwar Kumar being ruled out of the tournament earlier. There is no further update on Williamson’s injury yet. SRH will look for their young Indian players Priyam Garg, Sandeep Sharma and T Natarajan to contribute in DC vs SRH IPL 2020 match.

Pitch Report
The pitch is slowing down and as the temperature is decreasing, dew factor is coming into effect. In the last game played at the venue, Delhi Capitals faced the same issue bowling second and Punjab won the game. So expect team winning the toss to field first. The weather is expected to be clear and should be good for a game of cricket. Expect Jonny Bairstow to score in this game as he did against their previous game against KXIP. Chris Gayle has looked in good touch too and with inexperienced Sunrisers bowling and having a good record against Rashid, he is expected to score. So make your KXIP vs SRH Dream11 team prediction accordingly.

KXIP vs SRH Dream11 Expert Tips

Chris Gayle- Gayle arrived into the IPL 2020 with a half century. In the last game too, he made a quickfire 29 off 13 balls. He is looking in a good touch and will fancy the Sunrisers’ inexperienced bowling attack. Against the Sunrisers’ best bowler Rashid Khan, Gayle holds a good record too. That makes him a player to watch out for in the KXIP vs SRH Dream11 prediction.

Jonny Bairstow- Whenever Bairstow has scored runs, Sunrisers have done well. His technique has been found out on many occasions in this season, but he has found a way to score. In the last match played against Kings XI, Bairstow scored a quickfire 97. Batting at the top order along with David Warner, he has the ability to play a big innings and be a game changer.

Mohammed Shami- Shami has been the standout performer for KXIP in the last few games and has been the main reason for the turnaround against the 3 big teams. Second on the purple cap list, his seam position is his main strength in the powerplay and now that he is bowling good Yorkers, he is looking even more penetrating.

David Warner- Warner’s form hasn‘t been outstanding this season, but still he averages 37. He hasn’t been able to take his team home a multiple times and that has affected his team’s performance. With two legspinners in the opposition, Warner will fancy his chances and the skipper can be a real asset for Sunrisers in this match.

Differential Picks

Mayank Agarwal- Agarwal’s performance this year has been a bit overshadowed by his skipper KL Rahul’s outstanding performance. But an average of 39 at a strike rate of 155 shows what an outstanding season he has had so far. The boundary that he saved in the Super Over against MI will be remembered for a long time. Opening the batting, he makes full use of the powerplay and has the ability to attack the spinners.

Rashid Khan- The star legspinner is the leader of the Sunrisers bowling attack. With Bhuvi injured, he has been the main go to bowler for the skipper David Warner. So far, he has 12 wickets in 10 games but an economy of less than 5.5 shows the amount of respect he gets from the opposition batsmen. The knack of getting wickets makes him a dangerous bowler to watch out for.
