Match 56 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 has the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) taking on Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai on Friday.
Both the Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore have already qualified for the IPL playoffs this season. Although both have been in fine form in IPL 2021, they would love to sustain their momentum ahead of the knockout phase. While RCB did get the better of Rishabh Pant and co. in the reverse fixture, they will want to return to winning ways after a loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) earlier in the week. With some of the best cricketers taking to the field, an entertaining game beckons in Dubai.

Pitch Report
As seen in the previous game, the pitch is a decent one to bat on despite it being slightly on the slower side. The batters will look to attack from the start and make full use of the powerplay overs. As the match progresses, the spinners will come into play, given the turn on offer. Wickets in hand will be key with both teams looking to bat first upon winning the toss. 160-170 should be par at the venue, with dew also coming into play in the second half of the match.
Today's RCB vs DC Dream11 Match Top Picks
Wicketkeeper
Rishabh Pant: Rishabh Pant has been fairly consistent in the middle order, but his form has tailed off in recent games. The southpaw is equally comfortable against both pace and spin but given his explosive ability, he should get the nod over KS Bharat.
Batsman
AB de Villiers: AB de Villiers, although he batted in the lower middle order, couldn't take RCB over the line in a last-over thriller against SRH. However, the South African great is one of the better batters in the competition and is due for a big knock for the RCB.
All-rounder
Glenn Maxwell: Glenn Maxwell has been brilliant for Royal Challengers Bangalore, with the Australian scoring three fifties in his last four games. He has also been handy with his off-spin, which should come into play in the middle overs against the likes of Shimron Hetmyer and Rishabh Pant, thereby making him a good addition to your RCB vs DC Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowler
Kagiso Rabada: Although Kagiso Rabada has been a disappointment in the UAE leg, he has shown signs of improvement in the previous game. The South African pacer's ability to nail the yorkers and extract extra bounce due to his height holds him in good stead. One can bank on him to pick up a wicket or two, making him a must-have in your RCB vs DC Dream11 fantasy team.
