BLR – 50%
KOL – 50%

Kolkata Knight Riders have played most of their UAE leg games in Sharjah and with success. Their slow bowlers are deadly on this wicket. RCB have the stronger middle order and have had a good season. Its a tough game to call and it will all come down to who holds their nerve better.

Bet365: BLR: 1.80; KOL: 2.00

BLR vs KOL Dream11 Prediction

Glenn Maxwell has had a huge effect with the bat for RCB, and he was instrumental in getting the team to the playoffs. In 13 innings, the Australian has scored 498 runs at an average of 45.27. Maxwell has also contributed three wickets.

Shubman Gill has two consecutive fifties and is peaking at the right time. RCB hardly take any wickets in the powerplay and Gill can come good in this game. He has 352 runs in 14 innings at a strike rate of 120.

We are tipping Varun Chakravarthy to bring home the points in this game. He can succeed against the number of right-handers in the RCB lineup. He has 16 wickets in 14 games at an economy of just 6.5.

BLR Playing XI

Devdutt Padikkal, Virat Kohli (C), Srikar Bharat (WK), Glenn Maxwell, AB de Villiers, Daniel Christian, Shahbaz Ahmed, Harshal Patel, George Garton, Mohammed Siraj, Yuzvendra Chahal.

KOL Playing XI

Shubman Gill, Venkatesh Iyer, Nitish Rana, Rahul Tripathi, Eoin Morgan (C), Dinesh Karthik (WK), Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Lockie Ferguson, Varun Chakravarthy, Shivam Mavi.

Sharjah Weather Report

It will be a bright clear day at Sharjah as has happened during most of the matches during the current phase of IPL. With the sun blazing down, the maximum temperature during the day is expected to reach 38 degrees Celsius. At the beginning of the match, it will be 34 degrees cooling down a bit towards the end to 31 degrees Celsius.
