Preview

The sixth match of Indian T20 League 2020 is all set to be played between Bangalore and Punjab in Dubai. Both the teams will be playing their second match of their campaign and are well aware of the conditions in Dubai. Bangalore may have won their first match but that didn’t end their fans’ concerns about their team selection and specifically their death bowling options.

However, it was a good first game for them with the bat as debutant Devdutt Padikkal scored yet another fifty in a debut match. Chahal and Saini came to the rescue at the right time and finished the game with the ball. They will be looking to carry the momentum and make it two in a row in Dubai.

On the other side, Punjab lost their first match from the barest of all margins with little bit of luck, going against them. They pulled a dead game back with the help of an outstanding 89 from Mayank Agarwal needing only one from three balls. But they messed it up as they didn’t score anything and lost two wickets off last two balls which led to a defeat in the super over. They will be hopeful to bounce back in this match and gain some confidence to change their fortunes this season.

MVP for MyTeam11 Fantasy from each team

AB de Villiers – Bangalore – AB de Villiers has second most runs in this fixture with 662 runs at a SR of 165.91. He is coming off scoring a half century in 30 balls in the first game in Dubai and once again will be very crucial in the finishing role for his team. AB de Villiers played a superb knock of 82 at a SR of 186 in his last outing against Punjab.

Mayank Agarwal – Punjab – Mayank Agarwal was the lone warrior in the last match against Delhi. Their batting line-up collapsed in the worst scenario and Agarwal was the only one who played according to conditions and superbly paced the innings. Well he will be crucial in this game as they will be playing in the same conditions in Dubai.
