Rajasthan vs Lucknow Fantasy Tips: The Indian T20 League moves to its second double-header this Sunday (March 24) with Rajasthan taking on Lucknow in the first of the twin clashes scheduled on the day. While Rajasthan had missed out on a place in the Playoffs last season, Lucknow had finished third on the table before losing to Mumbai in the business end of the competition.
The match is scheduled to get underway in Jaipur, a venue which is generall a batter-friendly wicket. The average run rate at this venue in IPL matches is over 8 runs an over, implying a score of 180 or above could be expected by the time that sets the target. As far as the overall T20 record is concerned, teams that bat second at this venue have won more games than those that bat first.
For fantasy cricket lovers wanting to test their cricketing acumen in this fixture and perhaps searching for some tips, ABP Live has got you covered.
Fantasy Picks For Rajasthan vs Lucknow
De Kock, a player who can fetch points in the Fantasy gaming for his contribution with the gloves and as a top-order batter in fine form would be too big a player to miss in the Fantasy side. Same with Samson who will also bat in the top-order and is likely to keep wickets for his side. Chahal was the leading wicket-taker for his side last season and there is every reason to believe he can be in the business again this season, so he can be a utility pick as well.
From the Lucknow camp, Bishnoi was the most impressive bowler last season and can be considered for a place in the Fantasy side, if the composition of one's Fantasy side allows. Boult is known for his incredible success rate with the new ball and should be among the top picks in the side as well. As far as the all-rounders are concerned, Stoinis is one player who has to be there, given his ability with the bat and ball. Ashwin and K Pandya are the other options who can be considered.
Apps that have listed Rahul and Pooran as keeping-options, can see the inclusion of Jaiswal in fine form among the batters. Padikkal too as someone who can potentially face more number of deliveries can be picked in the side, if one needs a low-credit pick, otherwise Buttler can be a handy. Hetmyer is the other recommended option that can be considered but it remains to be seen, where he gets to bat in that batting order.
