  • Chennai Super Kings take on Sunrisers Hyderabad in the final in Mumbai on Sunday in what is expected to be an epic contest. And since it is the last game of IPL 2018, it is also the final opportunity for you to make changes to your Fantasy team.

    The teams that fought the first qualifier face off once again and it makes sense that the Fantasy team should sport a similar look to the one before the start of the first play-off game.

    MS Dhoni and Rashid Khan are ideal candidates to be used as power players to double your points. One of the two, if not both, is almost guaranteed to bring his A game to the final and should give a big boost to your points tally.

    The bowling attack of Lungi Ngidi, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Siddarth Kaul should be part of most Fantasy teams.

    The all-rounder category, however, is slightly tricky. Sunrisers all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan is an ever reliable option but the performance of Carlos Brathwaite against Kolkata, where he picked up two wickets in the final over, should put him in a great frame of mind for the final. Since the wicket in Mumbai has enough bounce, his batting might get a chance to really flourish.

    The batting line-up should be a straightforward pick – Shikhar Dhawan, Kane Williamson, Ambati Rayudu and Suresh Raina.

    If anything, the Indian bowling contingent can be tweaked depending on your gut feel. Is Deepak Chahar the better option over someone like Ravindra Jadeja? Or should you have both Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Siddarth Kaul in you team? I would go with Jadeja and Bhuvi simply because they have the experience of playing the big match.
