CricBattle Daily Fantasy Cricket League Tips Mumbai vs Gujarat on May 6 CricBattle Daily Fantasy Cricket League Tips Mumbai vs Gujarat on May 6 Mumbai Indians (MI) will be locking horns with the Gujarat Titans (GT) at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Tuesday, May 6. The hosts are coming off six consecutive wins, with three coming while defending totals, and the remaining during pursuit of targets. The five-time champions have had one of the best turnarounds this season and are currently holding the third spot in the points tally. MI are also in contention for finishing in the top two and having a good chance of ending their five-year title drought.On the other hand, GT are another team who have looked in solid touch this season and are favourites to lift their second IPL title. The Shubman Gill-led side is coming off a clinical 38-run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad. Notably, the last time these two sides faced each other in Ahmedabad, Gujarat emerged victorious by 36 runs, thanks to Sai Sudharsan and Prasidh Krishna's efforts. Best economical pick – Ryan Rickelton has had a solid debut IPL season in 2025, scoring 334 runs in 11 matches at an average of 33.40 and a strike rate around 154, including impactful knocks like 62 (41) against KKR and 61 (38) against RR. His aggressive starts at the top and consistent contributions make him a reliable fantasy pick, especially considering his dual role as a wicketkeeper-batter for Mumbai Indians Top captains & vice captains – GT opener Sai Sudharsan already has managed 504 runs in 10 innings this season. Being second on the top run-scorers list up until now, it may be expected for him to score big yet again. The southpaw has been in the form of his life, scoring runs at will. With the former champions requiring a win in this game, Sudharsan's bat needs to do the talking once again.Suryakumar Yadav has been the standout batter of IPL 2025 so far, leading the Orange Cap race with 475 runs from 11 matches at a remarkable strike rate of 172.73 and an average of 67.86, consistently scoring at least 25 runs in every game this season. His extraordinary form, versatility, and ability to dominate bowlers in all conditions make him an excellent vice captaincy pick for your fantasy team. Smart pick –Jasprit Bumrah has taken 11 wickets in seven matches this season and might be expected to fire once again. Coming off a match-winning spell against the Rajasthan Royals, Bumrah will be running high on confidence. MI skipper Hardik Pandya will bank on his star bowler to tackle Gujarat's solid batting line-up and provide crucial breakthroughs. Cautious Pick – Rahul Tewatia has had a disappointing IPL 2025 season so far, scoring only 43 runs in 10 matches at a low average of 6.14, with no significant contributions either with the bat or ball. Given his lack of impact and form, it would be wise to avoid picking him in your fantasy team. My XI – Sai Sudharsan(Captain),Suryakumar Yadav(Vice-Captain),Jasprit Bumrah,Ryan Rickelton, Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Jos Buttler, Prasidh Krishna, Hardik Pandya,Will Jacks,Washington Sundar

CricBattle Daily Fantasy Cricket League Tips Hyderabad vs Delhi on May 5 CricBattle Daily Fantasy Cricket League Tips Hyderabad vs Delhi on May 5 The IPL 2025 will travel to the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad for Match 55 as Sunrisers Hyderabad gear up to take on Delhi Capitals on Monday, May 05. With just three wins in 10 games, the home team are virtually eliminated from the tournament and are no more in the race for the playoffs. The Pat Cummins-led side are coming off a 38-run defeat at the hands of the Gujarat Titans in a high-scoring game at Ahmedabad. This season hasn't gone the way planned for the Orange Army, with their top-order and fast bowling specialists struggling with form. However, with no pressure of qualifications, SRH will hope to give their opposition a tough time in the middle.On the other hand, Delhi's second half of the season has been underwhelming, with four losses in their last six games. With the tournament moving towards its business end rapidly, and teams are pushing hard to finish in the top four, the Axar Patel-led side needs to bring a different plan to decimate the opposition. Notably, the last time these two sides faced each other this season, the Capitals came out victorious by seven wickets. Best economical pick – Delhi Capitals’ Kuldeep Yadav could be a possible threat to the opposition batters with his bowling. With 12 wickets in his last 10 matches, Yadav has been in good form, and his spell could trouble SRH. Notably, last time these two locked horns earlier in the season, the chinaman delivered a spell of 3/22 and played a key role in Delhi's win. Top captains & vice captains – Delhi Capitals’ veteran opener Faf du Plessis could be the best batter on his side’s upcoming game against Sunrisers Hyderabad. With a fighting knock of 62 runs in his previous game, the South African will be keen on putting in a similar performance against SRH and propelling his side further up the standings. Faf has managed to score 165 in five innings at an average of 33.00 and a strike rate of 134.14, including two fifties.Team India dasherAbhishek Sharmahas racked up an incredible 314 runs in the last ten matches he has played so far. He will be expected to perform well here on their own backyard. Smart pick –The South African sensation Heinrich Klaasen has racked up an incredible 311 runs in the last ten matches he has played so far. He will be expected to perform well here on their home turf. Cautious Pick – Ishan Kishan’s IPL 2025 performance has been highly inconsistent: after a sensational unbeaten 106 off 47 balls in his first match, he struggled to make an impact in the next nine games, registering scores of 0, 2, 2, 17, 23, 14, 44, and 13, with only one other notable contribution of 44 runs. This patchy form-one explosive century followed by a string of low scores-suggests that while he has immense match-winning potential, his current lack of consistency makes him a risky pick for your fantasy team. My XI – Faf du Plessis(Captain),Abhishek Sharma(Vice-Captain),Heinrich Klaasen,Kuldeep Yadav, KL Rahul, Abhisek Porel, Axar Patel, Mitchell Starc, Travis Head,Karun Nair, Nitish Kumar Reddy

  • Trent Boult
    Playing XI : Definitely
     
    Analysis : Trent Boult has been in good wicket-taking form in IPL 2025, recently achieving his 300th T20 wicket and delivering impactful spells like 3/28 against Rajasthan Royals, though he has occasionally been expensive with the ball. With 14 wickets in 10 matches at an economy rate of 6.52, his consistent ability to strike early-especially in the powerplay-makes him a strong and reliable pick for your fantasy team
  • Deepak Chahar
    Playing XI :  Definitely
     
    Analysis : Deepak Chahar has played 10 matches in IPL 2025, taking 7 wickets at an average of 38.42 and maintaining an economy rate around 8.5, showing moderate effectiveness but lacking consistent breakthroughs. While his experience and ability to bowl in crucial phases add value, his relatively high average and economy suggest he is a decent but not top-tier fantasy pick
