Pitch Report
The pitch at the Dubai International Stadium is on the slower side. The pacers should ideally get some pace and bounce early on, although this may play into the batters' hands with the ball skidding on nicely. There is some turn on offer, bringing the spinners into play and making for a good contest between the bat and ball. Both teams will look to chase upon winning the toss, with 150-160 being par at the venue.
Today's DC vs CSK Dream11 Match Top Picks
Wicketkeeper
Rishabh Pant: Although Rishabh Pant hasn't hit his strides yet, the southpaw has shown glimpses of his explosive ability with the bat. Pant's ability to score quick runs in the middle overs holds him in good stead and should give him the nod over MS Dhoni in your DC vs CSK Dream11 fantasy team.
Batter
Faf du Plessis: While Ruturaj Gaikwad has stolen the limelight with his brilliant performances, his opening partner Faf du Plessis isn't far off. However, he hasn't been able to convert his starts into big ones, something he can be backed to do in this fixture.
Allrounder
Moeen Ali: Moeen Ali hasn't hit his stride for Chennai in the UAE leg with both bat and ball. However, Ali's ability to take the bowlers on regardless of the situation holds him in high regard. Handy with the ball as well, one can expect Ali to deliver if picked in your DC vs CSK Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowler
Kagiso Rabada: Kagiso Rabada is one of the better bowlers in the competition with his rapid pace and ability to generate extra bounce being highly valued. Although he doesn't come into this game on the back of great form, he is a force to be reckoned with in the death overs, making him one to watch out for in this game.
