TFG Fantasy Pundit: Fantasy cricket tips for MI v KKR playoff at Bangalore

Overview 

We expect Mumbai to field the same team even though they lost against RPS, unless they feel Harbhajan should come in for K Sharma.  Meanwhile, KKR are likely to bring back Manish Pandey if he is full fit. The inclusion of Kuldeep Yadav for Piyush also cannot be ruled out. The weather in Bangalore will continue to be unpredictable and we would advice you to pick teams wisely. 

Probable 11

KKR- Uthappa, Narine, Gambhir, Lynn, Pandey, Surya, Pathan, Nile, Boult, Kuldeep/Piyush, Umesh

MI- Simmons, Patel, Rohit, Ambati/Rana/Tiwary, Pollard, Krunal, Hardik, Karn/Harbhajan, Malinga, Bumrah, McClenaghan 

Players who cannot be ignored 

Lynn- He will remain dangerous at the top and if it rains and it becomes a curtailed game, then he becomes even more formidable. Drop him at your own peril. 

Nile- He played in the eliminator and immediately had a positive effect on KKR. Will continue to open the bowling and we expect more wickets from this Aussie pacer. 

Rohit- He flopped in the initial playoff, but he is a big IPL player and we expect him to come good in this game vs KKR. Also, he loves playing against Kolkata. 

Simmons- He too didn't click in the last game, but he should be picked as he will come out all guns blazing in this crucial tie.
