Indian T20 League 2022: Gujarat vs Bangalore Fantasy Cricket Match-Ups

The Ahmedabad-based franchise registered a thrilling five-wicket win over Hyderabad. Rahul Tewatia and Rashid Khan combined smashed four sixes in the final over to clinch a seventh win in eight games. 

Bangalore, who sit fifth in the points table, will be keen to end a two-game winless run. They suffered a humiliating nine-wicket defeat against Hyderabad at Brabourne Stadium and were folded for 115 while chasing 145 against Rajasthan on Tuesday. 

We pick five First Games fantasy cricket Match-Ups in the Gujarat-Bangalore clash.

S Gill vs V KOHLII

Shubman Gill made his first 20+ score in five innings in the victory over Hyderabad. The young batter scored a 24-ball 22 as he and Wriddhiman Saha put together a 69-run stand for the opening wicket. Former Bangalore captain V Kohlii is under pressure after scoring just 22 runs in his last five outings. A 48 against Mumbai is his highest score in the ongoing season.

R Khan vs J Hazlewood

Rashid Khan, who struck a match-winning 31* against Hyderabad, is up against in-form Josh Hazlewood. He has grabbed more batting points than bowling points in Gujarat's last three matches. Meanwhile, Hazlewood has clinched ten wickets in five games. It includes a four-wicket haul and a three-fer against Lucknow and Delhi, respectively.

 Verdict: R Khan could pick up more fantasy points than J Hazlewood.

M Shami vs W SAHA

Mohammed Shami has led Gujarat bowling attacking from the front in the last two games. He dismissed Kane Williamson and Rahul Tripathi in the powerplay against Hyderabad. Wriddhiman Saha struck a brilliant 68 on Wednesday. The 37-year-old has amassed 65 and 93 fantasy points against Kolkata and Hyderabad, respectively.

D Miller vs  W Hasaranga 

Wanindu Hasaranga took 2/23 and scored 18 runs in the defeat against Rajasthan. He remains Bangalore's leading wicket-taker with 13 wickets. On the other hand, David Miller will be keen to continue his excellent form. The left-handed batter is 13 runs away from reaching 250 runs in the 15th edition. 

Verdict: W Hasaranga could have the last laugh against D Miller

A Joseph vs M Siraj

West Indies pacer Alzarri Joseph has been impressive since making his debut for Gujarat. He has grabbed at least one wicket in all three matches so far.
