Competitions 2024 IPL RDT Fantasy- RD1: Saturday 23rd March-12:30am AEST

[The Banker]

Marsh bowling - might've got a bit lucky with the impact player here, as normally they would have brought in a bowler!

He bowled a bit at the back end of last years tournament from memory.

@Diabolical got a 250 VC out of him

Disappointing from Bairstow.

Let’s go Curran though!

 

[mike89]

Curran is batting 4! There's hope yet!

Let’s hope that he faces more balls than he bowled!

 

[Darkie]

I’ve gone Abhishek Sharma out, DreRuss in. No other players in the next game.

I’m a sucker for DreRuss and Narine in this format.

Halfway home

Whats everyone doing now that Bairstow has 21 points I assume on people's WK bench? Playing a proper WK or just still looping it?

Have Pant instead. Pretty much resigned to Klaasen

I had KL Rahul in the BAT line anyway, so he swings to the WK line and Kane Williamson comes on field.

Set up to bring Klaasen on, pretty straightforward for me.

Really need Omarzai to get a game though because if he doesn't I'm pretty limited in who I can swing him to.

Can you shed some light on this bloke?

Saw him in your earlier draft

Fielding Pant who will eventually more than double Bairstow’s score thanks to the contribution with Patel.

Afghan all rounder in the same mould as Hardik Pandya. Batted 5 in the World Cup and was second seamer in a side that typically played four spinners. 353 runs from 8 innings at a SR of 98, 7 wickets from 38 overs at an economy of 7.1. Recently hit 149* (115) against SL after coming in at 3/19, as well as taking 4/9 against Ireland a week ago. Turns 24 tomorrow, so still on the way up.

Sold!

In he comes for Kane Williamson.

Cheers. Currently looking at filling the spot with a GT bowler outside RK (owned), Shami and Mohit (can't afford)

I assume Noor Ahmad is playing judging off his back end of tournament, but would like to go cheaper with Spencer Johnson or your man. Your man with price and BAT/BWL is the appealed option.

The hope for us is that GT literally have brought him in to replace Hardik. Keep an eye on selection - there's definitely a world where they play Noor or Williamson instead!

He would definitely be vulnerable at selection because there's no way GT would ever drop Rashid, they'd almost certainly want one of their OS left arm quicks, and you'd think Miller has enough credit in the bank to get first crack as well.

Curran 1 over a surprise

 

[mike89]

Grr. Ravindra coming off has probably cost me Kuldeep Yadav but I'll need to find room for him next round.

Pant is more interesting. I was worried how he'd go first up but he has looked really sharp with bat and gloves. Up to 33 now with the stumping which doesn't hugely move the needle, but don't think I want to miss out when he does go big as he will be very popular.

Sunrisers Hyderabad have won the toss and have opted to field

Game 3: SRH fielding first

SRH overseas: Cummins, Markram, Klaasen, Jansen
KKR overseas: Salt, Narine, Russell, Starc
