Pitch Report
Sharjah's pitch has been on the slower side with runs being hard to come by in the middle overs. Batters will look to score quick runs in the powerplay overs, making good use of the powerplay restrictions. As the match progresses, the spinners will come into play, making it hard for the batters to get going. Wickets in hand will be key, with both teams likely to prefer batting first upon winning the toss.
Today’s MI vs DC Dream11 Match Top Picks
Wicketkeeper
Quinton de Kock: Quinton de Kock has looked good for a big knock at the top of the order for Mumbai, but he hasn't been able to convert starts in the second half of the IPL. He will be looking to make amends this time around with a good showing at the top of the order, making him a good pick for your MI vs DC Dream11 fantasy team.
Batsman
Shikhar Dhawan: Although Shikhar Dhawan is in the race for the Orange Cap, it hasn't been plain sailing for the southpaw lately. He will be keen to get going against the Mumbai Indians' pace duo of Bumrah and Trent Boult, which should make for a good contest between bat and ball.
All-rounder
Axar Patel: Axar Patel has been fairly consistent for DC with both the bat and ball. Given the nature of the track and also Krunal's woeful form, Patel should get the nod in your MI vs DC Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowler
Kagiso Rabada: Kagiso Rabada's accuracy and experience has served him well in the UAE with a few wickets to show for his efforts as well. Rabada's ability to pick up wickets in the middle and death overs should come in handy, making him one to watch out for in this game.
