People’s Pick for Fantasy:
Analysis: The last time these two teams met during the first phase of the league, it was a run-fest for Bangalore as they chased down a target of 178 with 21 balls to spare and won the game by ten wickets. Devdutt Paddikal with his century was the hero for Bangalore. Virat Kohli had scored a quickfire fifty, while Harshal Patel and Mohammad Siraj had chipped in with 3 wickets each. However, it was back then in Mumbai while this one is in Dubai.
The current scenario is that Bangalore are coming to this game with good momentum and lots of confidence. Meanwhile, Rajasthan were thumped by a team in their last game that is languishing at the bottom of the table. The Samson-led side's performance has been kind of shaky in UAE leg with clinching a thriller against Punjab and then losing to Delhi and Hyderabad. Sanju Samson and Mutafizur have performed well for Rajasthan, so can be good fantasy picks.
