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

With SRH batting first I'm gonna throw Sandeep on field.

Jaiswal, Sandeep (Parag, Reddy, Klaasen)

Going to wait one more round for Abhishek which could be a disaster of a decision...

 

[Darkie]

Shahbaz Ahmed’s batting form looks good (lots of starts, gone on with some) and his overs may be increasing:

I might have a punt on him given two doubles to come/DPP/cheap price.

Green Ticks still on CSK , will they lock out at the start of the Game or will they realise the mistake and fix it ?

EDIT : I am not going to risk Gaikwad being locked , second trade done (just in case)

This happened last year too and they ended up fixing it after the round had started. Just going to ignore it.

3 CSK + my MI donut
=>
S Iyer, Arora, S Sharma, S Ahmed

600k cash

Have gone:
Pathirana > Chakravarthy
Vinod > Shahbaz
Pooran > Jaiswal

Jaiswal VC (Shahbaz)
(Klaasen)

Figured that even if Narine scored 0 and was still available for game 2, I’d take his VC score anyway. Might as well take a punt on someone before him then.

5 KKR (Narine, Salt, Russell, Iyer, Chakravarthy)

Fading Abhishek which I didn’t want to do but he’s facing Trent Boult straight up and I wanted to get rid of Vinod which left me with limited funds. Shahbaz’s role is very good right now, so opting for that route.

Head VC, Samson, Boult

 

[mike89]

Head dropped first ball by Parag

 

[mike89]

This is a brand new pitch and it's really gripping. This is a few games in a row now that the batters haven't been able to dominate like the earlier games. I wonder if the wheel is starting to turn...

 

[mike89]

Hamstring for Jurel - would have to say his tournament is over

 

[Darkie]

Can I please double check that I can use S Ahmed, who played and scored 0 and is on
my bench, as a donut this round?

Sure can!

Now to think about this weeks trades!

5/404

Remember how I said if all my bench players somehow went ballistic I'd need one more Delhi player to take them all? Well: Reddy 101, Parag 97, Klaasen 67...

At this stage I've traded Stubbs in so I have all of them but the other option would be to pass on Klaasen and take another KKR player on the double. I think I would have to make that decision tonight.

Head vc, Klaasen looped, Abhishek looped score not taken. What's this talk about Narine not playing the 2nd game?

 

[tso]

Only just seen H Rana is not available due to a Code of Conduct breach.

KKR's record at Wankhede is 1 win from 10 games

H2H MI 23 KKR 9

Too late now , hopefully have 5 KKR players

2/171
Jaiswal VC 104, Klaasen 67

Not taking Jaiswal’s score over Narine. Very good trade in. Taking Klaasen at WK2. Trading in Shahbaz hurt, especially given the alternative was Reddy. Thought he had the better role. Turns out Reddy actually bowled before Shahbaz and they both bowled just 1. At least he was benched.
