In the 42nd match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 the Delhi Capitals (DC) will be locking horns with the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Saturday. The Capitals have emerged as a team to beat as they have registered seven wins in ten matches. With Kagiso Rabada topping the wicket-taking charts with 21 wickets, DC has a balanced squad as Shikhar Dhawan got his formal back after two consecutive IPL hundreds.

Delhi will fancy their chances of a win on Saturday, but it won’t be as straightforward as it seems. On the other hand, KKR has had a turbulent campaign so far, and has five victories in ten matches, and in the last game, they were decimated by RCB. Knight Riders’ batting unit hasn’t clicked of late, with any of Shubman Gill and Nitish Rana able to get their form back. With Sunil Narine and Andre Russell’s availability also up in the air, there’s a lot to ponder for Brendon McCullum and the KKR management.

The previous IPL 2020 encounter between the two sides saw Shreyas Iyer and Anrich Nortje star in a high-scoring thriller as DC walked won the match comfortably. Although DC are the clear favourites for this encounter, they will be wary of the depth KKR possesses, and this should make for a competitive contest in Abu Dhabi.

Let us take you all to the Probable Fantasy XI you can create with the following tips:-

Wicket-Keepers

Dinesh Karthik 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 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, Karthik will tend to give more points.

Batsmen

Shubman Gill, Eoin Morgan, Shikhar Dhawan, Prithvi Shaw, and Shreyas Iyer have always been the prime contenders for fantasy cricket. Even, Nitish Rana 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 Raul Tripathi, and Tom Banton (if he plays).
