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

[mike89]

Was going to swing one of the RR spinners to Kuldeep if RR bowled first, but given they're batting first I think both of them will be well in the game here.

Jaiswal, Samson, Parag, Ashwin, Chahal for me

 

[Miller is a Steele]

0/278 Narine
Russell 104, Chakravarthy 75, Narine VC 52x2.

Fading Salt has worked out ok far. Shame he got 32 fielding points after watching him get out for 6, but he is a keeper after all. Was hoping Narine stayed quiet with the ball forcing people to choose a captain. Have to bank the 52 now.

Jadeja out.
Samson, Sandeep, Buttler in.

The above 3 and Jaiswal in this one.

 

[mike89]

This might have been the wrong team to go heavy on

Still feel pretty good about having Ashwin and Chahal all things considered.

Unfortunately my new KKR recruit Raguvanshi was a DNP. Rajasthan are now locked out. That leaves Delhi on the double.

Delhi have a draw I like for batsmen, but Pant will miss game 1.

Would you:

- Trade in another Delhi bat (and if so, who)?

- Trade Pant back in via the update trade function, reducing one SRH for next round, but saving a boost to get them back in?

- Trade in a Delhi bowler, but potentially forgoing JFM or Axar’s scores on the double if my KKR recruit plays game two, or

- Do nothing and wear the donut if it arises?

- Try something else (eg maybe grab someone I can loop on next round?)

Cash is a non issue and I have one boost left.

New recruits Buttler and Samson with a combined 36 off 44… meanwhile the alternative in Parag is going about his business with 33 off 26 not out.

Abhishek Porel might end up with the gloves for the game Pant misses. Ditto Shai Hope (who had a good double last time around). Porel had a 90 last start. Both should still play as batters in the second game (although all bets are off if Delhi lose tonight, which would end their finals chances!)

Very helpful, thanks Mike! Porel is now in and will hopefully get a guernsey. I have erred towards him as he seems to be batting higher and, as a local, seems less likely to be rested or left out if Delhi end up playing a dead rubber.

 

[mike89]

Appeal for obstructing the field!

And given! This will be a fun debrief...

 

[tso]

Having to keep Boult has been a big flop

1/310

JFM, Kuldeep, Stubbs, Axar C next

 

[tso]

Delhi Capitals have won the toss and have opted to field

 

[tso]

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (Playing XI): Faf du Plessis(c), Virat Kohli, Will Jacks, Rajat Patidar, Cameron Green, Mahipal Lomror, Dinesh Karthik(w), Karn Sharma, Mohammed Siraj, Lockie Ferguson, Yash Dayal

Delhi Capitals (Playing XI): Jake Fraser-McGurk, Abishek Porel(w), Shai Hope, Kumar Kushagra, Tristan Stubbs, Axar Patel(c), Kuldeep Yadav, Rasikh Dar Salam, Mukesh Kumar, Ishant Sharma, Khaleel Ahmed

Delhi Capitals Impact Subs: David Warner, Sumit Kumar, Ricky Bhui, Vicky Ostwal, Pravin Dubey

Royal Challengers Bengaluru Impact Subs: Swapnil Singh, Anuj Rawat, Suyash Prabhudessai, Vyshak Vijaykumar, Himanshu Sharma

 

[mike89]

Warner in Delhi's impact subs - suspect he'll be back in at the top in the chase

Another option for you @Darkie!

 

[Herbie66]

8 played for 397 Ashwin

Axar , Fraser-McGurk & Kuldeep

 

[mike89]

457 from 8 (Narine)

Axar, JFM, Stubbs tonight

0/278 Narine
Russell 104, Chakravarthy 75, Narine VC 52x2.

0/338
Jaiswal 24, Buttler 21, Samson 15, Sandeep 0.

Wow. Just wow. 60 from 4 players and 36 from the 3 I traded in. Couldn’t have gone any worse really. Gaikwad, Parag, and Ashwin outscoring all 4 just by themselves. Fading Salt not going as great now with the replacement in Sandeep doing nothing.

Axar, JFM, Stubbs, and Mukesh in this one. Need lot from Stubbs and Mukesh to stay in touch.

 

[Diabolical]

Delhi bowling first so I decided to save a boost and keep Pant over trading in Stubbs. I guess we will see how this ends!

 

[tso]

Axar bowling pies then drops a catch

 

[Professor]

Warner in and out very quickly

 

[tso]

Axar redeemed himself

1/626 Axar

Salt, Narine, Chaka again next

 

[Professor]

0/655 Narine
