Match 35 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 has Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) taking on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Sharjah on Friday.
Chennai Super Kings restarted their IPL 2021 campaign with a stunning win over the Mumbai Indians (MI) earlier in the week. They will be keen to sustain their good start with another impressive performance against the Royal Challengers, who come into the game on the back of a disappointing loss to the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). With both sides eyeing a win to solidify their top-four aspirations, an entertaining game beckons in Sharjah.

Pitch Report
Sharjah is known to be a high-scoring venue and that should be the case in this game as well, with room for error for bowlers being marginal. The pacers should get the ball to swing around in the early exchanges, keeping the batters on their toes. However, the ball should skid on to the bat under lights, making it easy for strokeplay. The batters will target the shorter boundaries, which should make for a good contest between them and the spinners. Both teams will look to chase upon winning the toss, with 170 being par at the venue.
Today's RCB vs CSK Dream11 Match Top Picks
Wicketkeeper
AB de Villiers: AB de Villiers is one of the more explosive players in the competition, with the South African having ample experience of playing in the UAE as well. Although he hasn't played much cricket lately, De Villiers' range of shots should give him the nod over MS Dhoni, who is likely to bat lower down the order for CSK.
Batsman
Faf du Plessis: Another South African, Faf du Plessis couldn't get the Super Kings off to a great start in their previous game as he fell cheaply in the powerplay phase. He will be itching to make amends for it, with his ability to score big runs making him a must-have in your RCB vs CSK Dream11 fantasy team.
All-rounder
Ravindra Jadeja: The last time Ravindra Jadeja played against RCB, he put in a performance for the ages with a heap of runs and wickets to his name. He will be keen to repeat the performance at the expense of Virat Kohli and co. and is surely one to keep an eye on for this game.
Bowler
Harshal Patel: Harshal Patel has been the surprise package for the RCB this season, standing out as their premier death bowler. His variations should come in handy on a good batting track in Sharjah and he should ideally pick up a wicket or two for the Royal Challengers in the middle and death overs.
