RCB VS DC Preview:
It’s game on for both the table toppers here at the Dubai International Stadium. It will be the battle between the red and the blue team at the 19th match of the tournament. Both the teams have won three out of their four games, where DC stands at the 2nd spot and RCB stands at the third spot. It will be a battle between King Kohli and AB De Villers with DC’s in form fast bowler Kagiso Rabada. We also have an extereme battle between shreyas and Shikhar with RCB’s Yuzi Chahal. This match could definitely turn out to be a nail-bitter and also a record breaker. So let’s sit back and enjoy the epic encounter between these two teams.
Pitch Report:
Dubai International Stadium hosted a few IPL fixtures in 2014. In T20I matches played on this ground, the teams batting first have breached the 200-run landmark on multiple occasions. The UAE pitches have generally assisted the slower bowlers, but the track at the Dubai International Stadium has been good for batting as well. The highest first innings score at this venue has been 211, which was recorded by Sri Lanka in 2013 and the average run rate in T20I games at Dubai is 7.13. This beautiful ground would support a lot of turn in the ball, which means spinners will be able to ace the surface quite easily.

1st Innings Score: 193/5
2nd Innings Score: 178/6

RCB VS DC SUPER 9:
Top Picks:
- Virat Kohli
On the top we have our RCB captain King Kohli, who initially found IPL 2020 too hard due to a long gap. But soon the king retained his form in the previous game against Rajasthan Royals by scoring 72 of just 53 balls. He will definitely be the first on top picks.
2. Yuzvendra Chahal
On number two we have the purple cap holder of IPL 2020, Yuzvendra Chahal. He has picked up 8 wickets out of the 4 matches played. His googly has indeed helped him take so many wickets. The long boundaries here at UAE also adds to his spin bowling advantage.
3. Rishab Pant
On number three we have DC’s wicketkeeper batsmen Rishab Pant. IPL 2020 has been a good year for Pant, but not as good as 2019. He has managed to put some decent scores on the board. But he still lacks consistency and his power strokes are found missing.
Captain Choices:
- AB De Villers
On the top stands our Mr.360, AB De Villers. Whichever match RCB plays, we suggest AB is the best choice for captaincy in your Dream Team. IPL 2020 has been a very good year for AB. He also played all the matches extremely well, and his long sixes too never faded this year.
2. Shreyas Iyer
Number two is our DC’s captain Shreyas Iyer. Over the past few matches, Shreyas has been the savior for Delhi’s batting unit. His consistency has helped DC post huge totals and were able to defend the score much easily.
3. Kagiso Rabada
On number three is our New Yorker and death over specialist Kagiso Rabada. The South African bowler has made it extremely difficult for the batsmen to middle and time the ball well. He is also a part of highest wicket takers in IPL 2020 and stands third among them.
Budget Picks:
- Devdutt Padikkal
On the first we have the most consistent, matured and power hitter Devdutt Padikkal (8.5 credits). He is also the only batsmen in IPL to score a three fifty plus scored in the first four matches. He stands second for the batsmen scoring a fifty in the IPL debut.
2. Prithvi Shaw
On number two, we have our youngster Prithvi Shaw (8.5 credits) who is an emerging player and is very reasonable in the DREAM11 as well. We can place him in our fantasy team in almost all the matches as he has great potential. IPL 2020 has gone well so far for the youngster.
3. Marcus Stoinis
At number three we have Marcus Stoinis (8.5 credits), who is also very reasonable for his abilities. The former RCBian has proven his talent by finishing off many matches and can play a crucial role in finishing things off in style.
Note: The results prediction, expected lineups, dream11 predicted lineups, Captain, and Vice-Captain suggestions are based on my analysis.
