BLR Playing 11 (likely)

Virat Kohli
Devdutt Padikkal
Shahbaz Ahmed
Glenn Maxwell
AB de Villiers
Daniel Christian
Washington Sundar
Daniel Sams
Harshal Patel
Mohammed Siraj
Yuzvendra Chahal

G Maxwell scored a match-winning fifty in the last game making 59 runs from 41 balls with 5 fours and 3 sixes. He had also made 39 runs from 28 balls in the first game with 3 fours and 2 sixes. He looks in great form and can be expected to continue his ‘Big Show’. He has scored 6772 runs in 288 T20 innings with an average of 27.19 and has a strike-rate of 152.21. He has slammed 3 hundreds and 39 ffities.

S Ahmed was the impact player in the last game as he picked 3 wickets for just 7 runs in 2 overs. The Chennai pitch slows down as the game progresses so he can again be the X factor. He had also made 14 runs from 10 balls with 1 six and he can again bat at number 3 which means he will have more run-scoring opportunities.

Kolkata Knight Riders Playing 11 (likely)

Kolkata Knight Riders Team News:

Playing Combination: The duo of S Gill and N Rana will open the innings while the likes of R Tripathi, E Morgan and A Russell will form the middle order. Shakib Al Hasan and P Cummins will lead the bowling attack.

KOL Playing 11:

Shubman Gill
Nitish Rana
Rahul Tripathi
Eoin Morgan
Dinesh Karthik
Andre Russell
Shakib Al Hasan
Pat Cummins
Harbhajan Singh
Prasidh Krishna
Varun Chakravarthy

N Rana is in incredible form and has smashed fifties in both games. He scored 80 runs from 56 balls in the first game with 9 fours and 4 sixes and in the second game he made 57 runs from 47 balls off 6 fours and 2 sixes. He is a must-have batter in the team.

A Russell may have failed to hit sixes in this season yet but he has done exceedingly well in his other role i.e is the death over bowler. He picked 1 wicket in first game and then claimed a five-wicket haul in the second match. He is too good a batter to ignore, so have him in the team atleast for his bowling abilities. He has a strike-rate of 179.69 in IPL and has smashed 1531 runs at an average of 28.88.

Who will win today match: BLR vs KOL Dream 11 Prediction

The slow Chennai pitch would suit KOL more than BLR. The only worry for KOL is their middle-order which hasn’t fired yet. But considering their strength, in the BLR vs KOL Dream11 today match prediction expect KOLto win the game.

Dream11 Team Prediction

Wicket-keepers:  AB de Villiers, 
Batsmen::  D Padikkal, N Rana, R Tripathi
All-rounders: G Maxwell, S Ahmed, S Al Hasan,  A Russell
