In the 25th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 two heavy-weights Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will be locking horns with the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Saturday. CSK has had a forgetful outing of ar in the season with only two wins in six matches. Despite Faf du Plessis and Shane Watson in stellar form, CSK’s middle-order has been failing constantly in the past few games.
After suffering a close loss against KKR, CSK would ideally be looking to correct all the mistakes against RCB as they hope to return to winning ways in IPL 2020. Their opponents, RCB has gone through a lot of ups and does in the tournament so far as they have won three of their five games. The additions of Devdutt Padikkal and Aaron Finch have bolstered their batting unit.
However, RCB still has some troubles with their death bowling with the likes of Navdeep Saini and Isuru Udana proving to be expensive in each of their last three games. With Chris Morris nearing a much-awaited return from injury, RCB will fancy their chances of a win at the expense of CSK.

With the likes of MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, and AB de Villiers all set for action on a double-header Saturday, we should be in for a treat. 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, MS Dhoni 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 will be keeping the wickets as he is known for playing match-winning knocks, but in order to maintain the balance of the IPL Fantasy XI, De Villiers will tend to give more points.
Batsmen
Shane Watson, Faf du Plessis, Ambati Rayudu, Virat Kohli, and Devdutt Padikkal have always been the prime contenders for the fantasy cricket. Even, Aaron Finch 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 Gurkeerat Mann, and Murali Vijay (if he plays).

All-rounders
There are some really reliable all-rounders in both the teams but citing the slow pitch in Abu Dhabi, Sam Curran, Ravindra Jadeja, and Washinton Sundar seems to be the perfect fit. Apart from them, the good all-rounder for IPL fantasy cricket are Moeen Ali and Shivam Dube.
Bowlers
Both the teams don’t have decent bowling line-ups but they have managed to do a decent job. Bowlers like Isuru Udana, Navdeep Saini, Deepak Chahar, and Piyush Chawla become the obvious choices for the IPL Fantasy XI on the sticky track of Abu Dhabi. Apart from them, some crucial bowlers can be like, Josh Hazlewood, and Mohammad Siraj
