DC vs MI Dream11 Team Prediction

Wicket-keeper  Consistency has been the key with Quinton de Kock this season, whereas Rishabh Pant has been good in bits and pieces. Therefore, we are going with MI’s Quinny in this facet. Although Rishabh Pant tonked all MI bowlers last time when the two sides locked horns but going by the current performance, Quinton holds the upper hand.

Our choice: Quinton de Kock

Batsmen Going by the stats, Shikhar Dhawan has always put his foot right as he has a healthy average of 41.93 against MI. He hit a 50 the last time these two teams collided and will once again be an important pick here. Last three outings have not been great for MI skipper Rohit Sharma versus DC, he has not got enough runs this season but still has an integral role to play in Mumbai’s success.

Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, Prithvi Shaw are other considerable choices in the batting facet.

Our choice: Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer

All-rounders Hardik Pandya has developed the abilities to finish-off games for MI this season. Indifferently, he has not been good with the ball this season, but his down the order blitz with the bat in hand have been really impressive. It’s a completely vice-versa scene for Chris Morris who has been awful with the bat but aided Kagiso Rabada with the ball in hand with 11 wickets of his own from 6 matches. On a slow pitch, Axar Patel is a great option as well.

Our choice: Chris Morris, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel

Bowlers The purple cap holder Kagiso Rabada is the obvious choice here. Jasprit Bumrah and Lasith Malinga are other safest bets here, whereas, Keemo Paul who returned with a 3-fer in the last game will be effective on a slow track. Among the spinners, Rahul Chahar and Amit Mishra are considerable picks.

Our choice: Lasith Malinga, Jasprit Bumrah, Kagiso Rabada
