Pitch Report

The pitch in Dubai is a decent one to bat on, with the pacers expected to get some help off the surface. There should be some swing and extra bounce on offer early on, keeping the batters on their toes. While the spinners aren't expected to get much spin off the surface, the dimensions of the ground could help them. Wickets in hand will be key, with both teams likely to prefer chasing upon winning the toss. 160-170 should be par at this venue with dew expected to play a big part in the second innings.


Today's DC vs CSK Dream11 Match Top Picks

Wicketkeeper

Rishabh Pant: Although Rishabh Pant has blown hot and cold in the UAE leg, he is one of the cleanest hitters in the game. Given his ability to take on the bowlers in the middle overs, Pant is held in high regard and should ideally get the nod over the DC vs CSK Dream11 fantasy team.

Batter

Faf du Plessis: Faf du Plessis comes into this game on the back of a sensational knock against Punjab Kings (PBKS), albeit in a losing cause. He has been in fairly decent form lately and should come up with a good performance in the DC vs CSK clash.

All-rounder

Moeen Ali: Unlike Faf du Plessis, Moeen Ali hasn't been in the best of form and hasn't quite delivered with the ball either However, Ali's ability against spin is highly valued and will ideally come into play against the likes of Axar Patel and Ravichandran Ashwin in the middle overs.

Bowler

Anrich Nortje: Anrich Nortje has been DC's best bowler in the UAE leg, with his searing pace and lethal swing getting the better of in-form batters such as Ruturaj Gaikwad and Virat Kohli in recent games. He has been used as an enforcer by Delhi and should be a must-have in your DC vs CSK Dream11 fantasy team.
