Punjab will kick off their second home game in the Indian T20 league 2019 against Delhi at Mohali on 1st April. While Delhi will be coming into the match after a Super Over win against Kolkata, Punjab will also be high on confidence after beating a superior Mumbai team by 8 wickets. Let’s take a look at both the teams before you pick your Fantain XI for the North Derby.

Venue – IS Bindra stadium, Mohali

Likely playing XI – Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer ( c ), Rishabh Pant, Colin Ingram, Hanuman Vihari, Harshal Patel, Chris Morris, Amit Mishra, S Lamichhane, Kagiso Rabada

Hot picks

Chris Gayle

The universal boss nearly went unsold in the 2018 IPL auctions until he was picked by Punjab in the last minute. The first hundred of that season was smashed by Gayle! The Jamaican looks in good form this season as well with one half century, and could win you lots of points on your Fantain XI.

Andrew Tye

The winner of the purple cap in 2018, Tye has had more than a decent this season too. His variations were on full display at the Eden Gardens and will come handy against Delhi as they have a lot of left-handed batsmen.

Kagiso Rabada

Kagiso Rabada defended the lowest total in a Super Over in IPL history as Delhi beat Kolkata at the Feroz Shah Kotla on Saturday. Rabada gave away 7 runs while the required run rate was 12 and also castled Andre Russell in the super over. Delhi won the match by 3 runs in the super over after both teams scored 185 in the allotted 20 overs each. Rabada’s Yorkers were exceptionally well executed and he should be your first pick on Fantain XI.

Prithvi Shaw

After the return from injury, the young batsman has been in the form of his life, and further proved that with a knock of 99 runs against Kolkata. Shaw will thrive on a batting friendly Mohali pitch.

Shreyas Iyer

The Delhi captain has been leading his side from the front, even as a batsman. Iyer looks in good touch with the bat and would want to register a good personal score against Punjab.
