Pitch Report

The surface here at the IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali is usually helpful for pacers and the dimensions of this ground are pretty big on either sides. There will be true bounce and we can expect plenty of runs. There might be dew in the latter half of the game and hence both sides might be tempted to chase at this venue.

Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team

8

Mahipal Lomror

RCB | ALL

Mahipal Lomror was dismissed for a duck in the previous match and has failed to make much of an impact. Hence avoid him for this match.

8

Shahrukh Khan

PBKS | BAT

Shahrukh Khan is batting lower down the order and might not face much balls to have a big impact fantasy wise. With plenty of better options he can be left out.
