BAN-W vs GUJ-W Pitch Report

Two different pitches have been used at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium for the three games in this tournament. While one of the wickets has been flat and favoured the batters, the other has been a bit slower and kept the spinners interested. However, it looks like a venue where the batters should be dominant, and given the dimensions, chasing should be the easier job. The spinners will be game changing picks in the fantasy contests of most matches.

Fantasy Value from Pitch Report

  • The wicket will favour the batters. But the new ball has caused troubles so far. Therefore, picking both openers of one team is not the ideal way to go. 
  • To win the grand leagues, we can bet on the spinners. Taking risks and choosing a spinner as the captain or vice-captain might give you big rewards. 


BAN-W vs GUJ-W Fantasy Cricket Tips

Scenario: Royal Challengers Bangalore Heavy Fantasy XI

  • Sophie Devine is known to be an explosive opener and is a game-changer in the T20 format. She did not deliver in the game against the UP Warriorz, but a player of her class will not be out of touch for long. Devine can also be a useful bowler in the middle overs, helping you earn points in both innings. 
  • Asha Shobana bowled a magical spell in the game against UP. With the wicket-taking form, Shobana will be and obvious and very safe pick for the fantasy contests of the match.

Scenario: Gujarat Giants Heavy Fantasy XI

  • The whole Gujarat Giants team looked off-colours in their first game. They will be eager to make a comeback, and Beth Mooney should be at the centre of it all. A lot depends on her, as she needs to give the team a solid start with the bat to lead them to a much-needed victory. 
  • Tanuja Kanwer was the biggest positive for the team in the first match. She contributed significantly with both the bat and the ball. Kanwar bats in the lower order, and hence her batting might not earn you points every day, but she is an efficient bowler, and you can trust her with this trade. 


BAN-W vs GUJ-W Winner Predictions

The Gujarat Giants lost their first match while defending a target. But against RCB, they might have a better chance of winning if they are defending once more. On the other hand, Smriti Mandhana and her girls will fancy chasing a target in this game.  


BAN-W vs GUJ-W Top Player Picks

Sophie Devine (BAN-W): The Kiwi veteran has been in decent batting form in this tournament. Although she did not fire in the first game, Devine can be a match-winner with her aggressive style of batting. Besides, she can also be rewarding with the ball in hand. 

Ellyse Perry (BAN-W): The Australian all-rounder failed to fire in the first game. But as the tournament progresses and Perry gets a grip on the playing conditions, she will be a vital cog in the RCB mechanism. Perry is an equally adept batter and bowler and can give you winning points in both innings. 

Beth Mooney (GUJ-W): The Giants skipper started well but succumbed under pressure in the first game. But Mooney is a class act and a consistent run-scorer with the bat. Even though she was not at her best, you can trust her for one more time in this game. 

Phoebe Litchfield (GUJ-W): The young Australian batter has a lot of responsibility for this franchise. In the top order, Litchfield and Mooney provide solidity to this line-up. So, if you are backing the Giants to win the match, Litchfield must be in your team. 


BAN-W vs GUJ-W Differential Picks

Sabbhineni Meghana (BAN-W): The Indian top-order batter looked the part in the first game. Yet, many fantasy players might ignore her in this game, and with her batting form, Meghana might be your perfect differential pick.

Kathryn Bryce (GUJ-W): The Scottish skipper made an all-around contribution for the team in the first match. But the fact that she bats lower the order might lead many users to ignore her. Given the Giants' strength and current form, Bryce will be an important choice. 


BAN-W vs GUJ-W Fantasy Expert Advice

All-rounders and bowlers have been the strength of both the teams in their first match. Keeping the playing conditions in mind, a 1-2-4-4 combination looks ideal for the game.
