Top Picks for GUJ vs DEL 11Wickets Fantasy Cricket:
Prithvi Shaw let his bat do the talking in the first game against Mumbai. The Mumbai lad went berserk against the opponent and hit four fours and two sixes in his innings. He provided a solid start to Delhi with his innings of 38 runs off 24 balls. Delhi would be hoping for a similar start from the right-hand batter.
Mohammed Shami was in a totally different mood during the first game against Lucknow. He bowled Test-match line and length in a T20 game and picked three wickets for 25 runs. All these three wickets came inside the powerplay which created an enormous amount of pressure on Lucknow’s batting unit.
Gujarat shelled out INR 9 crores for Rahul Tewatia in the auction. He managed to finish the game for his team with his innings of 40 runs off 24 deliveries. As captain Hardik Pandya has moved up the batting order, the onus of finishing the games is with Tewatia only. He would be a key player for Gujarat and his performance might be the deciding factor in this game.
