IPL Fantasy, DD vs RR: Best XI to pick for today's match
Royal Challengers Bangalore’s bowling finally came good as they successfully defended 167 against Mumbai Indians in Bangalore. It was a very good team effort from RCB with a lot of people contributing with the bat and the ball. Southee was the Man of the Match for his spell of 2 for 25 but there were quite a few other contenders too. MI will have to now will all their remaining matches to have a chance of qualifying for the playoffs.
Delhi Daredevils have to win all their remaining fixtures to have a chance of qualifying for playoffs and Rajasthan Royals will be their first hurdle today at the Kotla. DD are unlikely to make any changes to the eleven that played their last game against CSK. RR might play Klassen/Short in place of Buttler who has not even crossed 30 once in this tournament.

Captain Options
1. Jofra Archer – He has taken 3 wickets each in the last two matches for RR and has the potential to give a lot of points in the death overs while bowling. He is also likely to get opportunities with the bat since RR’s middle order have been underperforming.
2. Rishabh Pant – He almost pulled an improbable chase vs CSK along with Vijay Shankar in the last game. He is in very good form and will give you lot of points if he gets going.
