TOP FANTASY PICKS For Mumbai vs. Hyderabad Match
Team Mumbai
- I. Kishan is the second highest run-getter for Mumbai this season with 327 runs at an average of 29.73 and a strike rate of 117.20 including 3 half-centuries. Ishan was dismissed for just 6 runs in the last match after making two 40+ scores in his previous two innings. He made 84 runs off just 32 balls the last time he faced Hyderabad in the league last season.
- T. Varma is arguably the batter of the season for Mumbai in this edition. He is the team's leading run scorer, with 368 runs in 12 matches at an average of 40.89 and a strike rate of 132.85. Varma has scored 2 half-centuries and five 30+ scores in the 12 matches played. He has made 72 runs in the two matches played here.
- D. Sams was the Player of the Match in the last game against Chennai for his spell of 3/16 wickets in 4 overs. In the 2022 season, he has picked up 11 wickets in 9 matches at an average of 27.36, an economy of 8.85, and a strike rate of 18.54.
Team Hyderabad
- A. Sharma has come back to scoring form at the right for his team after two failures with the bat. He is Hyderabad’s highest run-scorer this season, making 374 runs in 12 matches at an average of 31.16 and a strike rate of 134.53 including 2 half-centuries. With Captain Kane struggling for runs, his free flowing attacking style of play can benefit the team very much.
- A. Markram has been the strength of Hyderabad’s middle-order this season with consistent run scoring. He has made 358 runs in 12 matches at an average of 59.66 and a healthy strike rate of 141.50 including 3 half-centuries. One of his 3 fifties of the season has come at this venue and he would like to repeat that here.
- U. Malik came back strongly in the last game after failing to pick up a wicket in his previous three matches. He took 3 wickets for 33 runs in his 4 overs but it was not enough to save his team from defeat. His maiden 5-wicket haul has come at his same venue and he will be excited to take more wickets against the weak looking Mumbai batting unit.
