DC vs RCB IPL Dream11 Team Prediction Grand League 22 Crores Mega Contest, 2 November

DC vs RCB Dream11: The 55th match of the IPL 2020 will be played between Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore. It’s very simple now. The winner of this game goes through and gets two shots at the spot in the final. Delhi Capitals are in a slump and it’s come at the worst possible time. Their batting order, which was looking formidable in the first half, is looking bleak now. Shikhar Dhawan has had two ducks in the last two games after his two back to back centuries. While Captain Shreyas Iyer seems to have lost his touch after a brilliant first half, Rishabh Pant is not having a tournament to remember. Fast bowling has been the reason for Delhi’s success this season and a lot will depend on Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje in this match.

Royal Challengers, meanwhile too had a great first half like Delhi Capitals but they started losing way since then. The over dependence of Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers was clearly visible in their performances. Young Devdutt Padikkal has been a star for them but after De Villiers, they have struggled to find a batsman who can finish the innings. Their bowling has seemed cohesive led by their highest wicket taker Yuzvendra Chahal, but they will be needed to perform as a unit in order to challenge DC’s batting line-up. Overall, a cracker of a contest is expected with both teams ready to do anything to get into the next stage.

Injury update, unavailability- There have been no recent injuries in the Delhi Capitals squad and all the players are available for selection.

Expected team changes- Delhi might bring back Axar Patel, who was their most economical bowler in place of Harshal Patel given Kohli and De Villiers’ low strike rates against spin this season. The ground boundaries in Abu Dhabi also might be a reason behind Capitals opting for 3 spin options.

DC vs RCB Today match prediction

Both the teams look very much equal and on the same position. If they win, they play Mumbai Indians in qualifier 1 and if they lose, they rely on SRH vs MI game to go through. So the fate of both the teams is in their own hands. DC has lost their last four games and they suddenly look a bit more nervous than RCB. They can have even more trouble if RCB’s mainstays Kohli and De Villiers fire. So expect a tight game though the current form gives RCB a little more chance than DC in this DC vs BLR Today Match Prediction.
