Pitch Report

The pitch in Dresden is likely to be a high-scoring one with there being little room for error for the bowlers. Although there should be some swing on offer early on, the dimensions of the ground should go against the bowlers. A change of pace and wide lines will be the go-to options for the bowlers, who will try to bowl as many dot balls as possible. Batting first would be the preferred option, with 100 being the bare minimum at the venue.

Today's RCD vs VIK Dream11 match top picks

Wicketkeeper

Mustafa Khan: Mustafa Khan was one of Dresden's best players in the previous edition, often scoring big runs in the top order. He has the ability to tee off from ball one, with his six-hitting ability being key. With the Dresden keeper likely to play a big role once again, he is one to watch out for in this game.

Batter

Belal Zadran: Although Belal Zadran is listed as a batter, his strengths lie with the ball. He was a brilliant asset for Dresden in the previous editions, picking up key wickets in the middle overs. With Zadran expected to bat higher up the order this time around, he should be a good addition to your RCD vs VIK Dream11 fantasy team.

All-rounder

Zahid Mahmood: Zahid Mahmood was one of the better players for VIK in the previous edition, scoring 120 runs and chipping in with the ball too. He is a handy all-rounder who can hold his own in crunch moments. Given the conditions on offer, Zahid is a must-have in your RCD vs VIK Dream11 fantasy team.

Bowler

Ehsan Latif: Ehsan Latif was a consistent performer for VIK in 2021, using his variations and experience to good effect. With a few key personnel missing for VIK, Latif is likely to take up a more prominent role with the bat as well this season.
