Pitch Report: Indira Gandhi International Stadium, Haldwani
The surface at Haldwani has been a “tale of two halves” this season. While it offers something for everyone, the following factors will be crucial for your Dream11 team:
- Balanced Surface: The pitch typically starts true, allowing batters to play their shots in the powerplay. However, as the ball gets older, the veteran spinners begin to extract significant turn.
- The Dew Factor: Since this is an evening game, dew is expected to play a massive role in the second innings. This makes it harder for bowlers to grip the ball, giving a distinct advantage to the team batting second.
- Average Score: The par score here ranges between 160 and 170. Anything above 175 is considered a winning total.
- Toss Impact: Captains winning the toss are almost certain to bowl first to avoid the worst of the dew and capitalize on better batting conditions under the lights.

Team News & Probable Playing XIs

KSO vs ING Head-to-Head Record

Key Players to Watch (Top Fantasy Picks)
1. Pawan Negi (ING)
The most consistent performer in the tournament so far. Negi is a “safe” captaincy choice because he is guaranteed to bowl his 4-over quota and usually bats in high-leverage situations. He recently bagged 3 wickets in a single outing.
2. Morne van Wyk (KSO)
The South African legend has been the lone warrior for KSO’s batting unit. His recent 51 off 38 balls shows he still has the timing and temperament to anchor an innings.
3. Kuldeep Hooda (ING)
A true revelation this season, Hooda has smashed 125 runs in just 3 innings. He provides the explosive power needed in the middle overs and is currently the second-highest run-scorer in the league.
4. Jeevan Mendis (ING)
The Sri Lankan all-rounder is a fantasy goldmine. His ability to pick up wickets with his leg-spin and finish games (like his recent 42* off 30) makes him an essential pick.
5. Ankit Rajpoot (KSO)
If there is any swing available under the lights, Rajpoot is the man to exploit it. He has been KSO’s most lethal pace option with the new ball.
