After an action-packed weekend of T20 action, the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will be locking horns with Delhi Capitals (DC) in Match 19 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020. Both teams have been dominant in the competition so far, with their batting and bowling units firing in unison.
On one hand, RCB seems to have found the right balance with Devdutt Padikkal and Aaron Finch leading the way at the top of the order and their bowling has also been doing a good job. With three wins in four games, RCB has finally started the season in the way they would have liked to and look good for a top-four finish.

Similarly, DC has also won three out of their four games so far, with skipper Shreyas Iyer leading his team to a brilliant win over KKR on Saturday, their bowlers Anrich Nortje and Kagiso Rabada also doing wonders with the ball. In their head-to-head record, RCB has won 15 games to Delhi’s nine, and with both teams looking for a table-topping win in Dubai, fans will be expecting another cracking encounter in IPL 2020.
Let us take you all to the Probable Fantasy XI you can create with the following tips:-
Wicket-Keepers
With none of the players having much of a practice, Rishabh Pant seems to be a better pick as he has been known for making a strong comeback and he will be much more effective on slow pitches this season. However, for RCB, AB de Villiers is expected to keep wickets as he is known for playing match-winning knocks, but in order to maintain the balance of the IPL Fantasy XI, Pant can also serve better.
Batsmen
Shreyas Iyer, Virat Kohli, Devdut Padikkal, Aaron Finch, Prithvi Shaw, and Shikhar Dhawan have always been the prime contenders for the fantasy cricket. Even, Gurkeerat Singh can also be added in fantasy cricket and that will depend on the balance of the squad. Apart from them, there are some useful batsmen in the line-ups as well, like Shimron Hetmyer, and Ajinkya Rahane (if he plays).

All-rounders
There are some really reliable all-rounders in both the teams but citing the slow pitch in Abu Dhabi, Shivam Dube, Washington Sundar, and Marcus Stoinis seems to be the perfect fit. Apart from them, the good all-rounder for IPL fantasy cricket is Axar Patel.
Bowlers
Both the teams don’t have decent bowling line-ups but they have managed to do a decent job. Bowlers like Anrich Nortje, Kagiso Rabada, Navdeep Saini, and Yuzvendra Chahal become the obvious choices for the IPL Fantasy XI on the sticky track of Dubai. Apart from them, some crucial bowlers can be like, Isuru Udana, Amit Mishra, and R Ashwin.
