ESPNcricinfo IPL Fantasy League guide: Delhi Daredevils vs Chennai Super Kings
The thrilling Indian Premiere League (IPL) will continue on gameday 16, i.e. April 18, 2013, with the Delhi Daredevils hoping to bring their losing streak to an end by holding their own against the mighty yet inconsistent Chennai Super Kings at the Feroz Shah Kotla stadium in Delhi.
Delhi Daredevils have been having a nightmare of an IPL season so far. They are sitting at the bottom of the table, yet to open their account. The experience and calculations of skipper Mahela Jayawardene, the explosive hitting power of David Warner and Sehwag, and the pace and bounce of Morne Morkel has not been able to produce the desirable results for them so far.
Chennai Super Kings, on the other hand, are a lethal side as always, with their batting going really deep. However, they are struggling to find consistency and with the exception of Michael Hussey at the top, there have not been many significant contributions. Even Suresh Raina is struggling to get some runs on the board.
The ESPNcricinfo IPL Fantasy League enthusiasts would be wondering about the best picks for today’s match.
Since today’s game is expected to be a high-scoring affair, you should concentrate on getting the most explosive batsmen in your side. This makes Warner, Hussey, Jayawardene and Raina an ideal choice. Warner and Raina may not be in the form of their life, but if they get going, they can score big and at a good pace, which can earn you plenty of coveted points.
Dwayne Bravo, Mahindra Singh Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja and Irfan Pathan can prove to be pretty useful today as well, since all of them can contribute in more ways than one.
Picking the bowlers for today can be a bit tricky. While Chris Morris of Chennai Super Kings has picked wickets regularly, he may leak out a few runs today. Same is the case with Umesh Yadav. However, Morkel and Ravichandran Ashwin may prove to be a great pick for today’s match. Morkel may go for a few runs, but he is more than capable of damaging the opposition by regularly picking wickets. Ashwin, on the other hand, can create pressure by stopping the run flow and eventually lead the batsman into playing a foolish shot, thus giving away his wicket.
