Wicket-Keeper
Q.de Kock (9.5 Cr) has managed to make good contributions for his team in the last 3 matches with more potential that should showcase under the pressure of this match.
KL Rahul (11 Cr) has managed to score 49 runs in his first match of the second phase along with a decent 21 runs added with his skills behind the stumps that make him a crucial choice.
N.Pooran (8.5 Cr) has managed to provide decent batting contributions along with his ability to work as the vocal motivator throughout the second innings which does help the mentality that can prove important in this match.
Batsman
R.Sharma (10 Cr) has provided good starts for his team in the last 2 matches and should be able to bring out the best in him as he will be well aware of the importance of the upcoming matches.
K.Pollard (8.5 Cr) is a powerful finisher who has not yet shown his full batting potential as he could hit power shots along with his bowling skills that can earn him wickets in this match.
A.Markram (8.5 Cr) has scored 53 runs in the last 2 matches along with his brilliant skills on the field that can push his form in the upcoming matches.
All-rounders
K.Pandya (8.5 Cr) handles the contributions in the middle order along with his bowling skills that have helped his form over the years which could work on this pitch.
Bowlers
J.Bumrah (9.0 Cr) is trying his best to play his part with his wicket-taking skills as he holds 8 wickets in the last 3 matches that makes him our prime choice.
R.Chahar (8.5 Cr) was the leading wicket-taker for his team with 12 wickets in the first half of the season but has not found his time to shine in Dubai which could change on this pitch.
M.Shami (9.0 Cr) is another bowler you can trust will get you wickets as seen in his last 2 matches where he was able to pick 5 wickets which should improve in this encounter which makes him our prime choice.
A.Singh (8.5 Cr) has 6 wickets in the last 2 matches which includes a wonderful 5-wicket haul against RR that should be his motivation after just getting 1 wicket in his last match against SRH.
Dream11 Team Prediction Captain and Vice-Captain
J.Bumrah will be our captain because of his ability to use his lines and lengths to create brilliant and smart chances.
M.Shami will be our vice-captain because he has immense control over his actions with the bowl which could prove efficient in this match.
