Although both sides look very evenly matched on paper, MI’s power-packed middle order should hand them the advantage. Let us take you all to the Probable Fantasy XI you can create with the following tips:-
Wicket-Keepers

However, for DC, Rishabh Pant 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 Kock seems better pick with his recent form.
Batsmen
Shreyas Iyer, Rohit Sharma, Surykumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, `and Prithvi Shaw have always been the prime contenders for the fantasy cricket. Even, Shimron Hetmyer can also be added in fantasy cricket and that will depend on the balance of the squad.
