DC vs KKR Dream11

The second match of the first double-header of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 will take place between Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders. The fans will get to see a high-scoring game as Sharjah Cricket Stadium of Sharjah will host this game. Both the teams will lock horns against each other on October 3 (Saturday) from 7:30 PM (IST) onwards. Let’s look at our fantasy 11 predictions for this clash and here are top picks for DC vs KKR.

Team Preview

Delhi Capitals (DC)

Delhi Capitals

For the first time in several years, the franchise of Delhi Capitals looks like one of the most balanced sides amongst all eight teams. And so far, they delivered up to the expectations with two victories out of three games. Currently, Capitals hold the second spot of the Points Table. 

Ace DC spinner Ravichandran Ashwin is fit and available for the game, and this may result in an unfortunate exit for Amit Mishra. On the other, Delhi’s big-hitters like Pant, Hetmyer and Stoinis are expected to grab all the eyeballs in today’s game, keeping the ground’s dimensions in mind.

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)

Kolkata Knight Riders

Dinesh Karthik has impressed everyone with his captaincy so far in this tournament. The skipper has rotated his bowlers quite well but failed to play any significant knock with the bat. Today, he will look to regain his batting form, but Andre Russell can turn out to be a star performer in today’s game.

As aforementioned, Sharjah is a small ground, and Russell’s hitting ability will play a crucial role in such conditions. Moreover, Dinesh Karthik and co. are most likely to play with the same XI after winning back-to-back encounters.
