Pitch Report
As seen in the previous game, the pitch at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium is on the slower side. There isn't much swing on offer for the pacers, something which the batters will look to make full use of early in the innings. As the match progresses, the spinners will have a more significant role, making for an intriguing contest in the middle overs.
Wickets in hand will be key, with both teams likely to prefer batting first upon winning the toss. 160 should be a great total at this venue with dew likely to play a factor in the second half of the match.
Today’s KKR vs DC Dream11 Match Top Picks
Wicketkeeper
Rishabh Pant: Although Rishabh Pant comes into this game on the back of a good knock in Qualifier 1, his captaincy did draw some flak. He will be keen to come up with a better performance and lead his side into the IPL final. With Dinesh Karthik set to bat at number six or seven, Pant should ideally get the nod in your KKR vs DC Dream11 fantasy team.
Batter
Shubman Gill: Shubman Gill has shown signs of intent in the UAE leg, but he is due for a big knock at the top of the order. He is one of the better players of spin in the competition and with the pitch in Sharjah being on the slower side, Gill is surely one to keep an eye out for in this game.
All-rounder
Axar Patel: Axar Patel has been a revelation for Delhi Capitals since making the move to the franchise last year. Patel has excelled in the middle overs, especially against left-handers, often picking up wickets at times of need. With his batting also likely to come into play, he is a must-have in your KKR vs DC Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowler
Lockie Ferguson: Lockie Ferguson has been crucial to KKR's resurgence in IPL 2021 with his searing pace and clever variations delivering wickets at crucial junctures. He comes into this game on the back of a good performance against the Royal Challengers Bangalore and will be keen to replicate the same versus Delhi Capitals as well.
