Today Match Prediction for DC vs BLR Dream11:It is a run feast in IPL 2021 on 27 April as two batting-heavy teams meet on an ideal batting track. Both Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore have an arsenal of explosive batters and most of them already shown their prowess in this season. Plus the ball will come on the bat nicely on the Ahmedabad pitch allowing batters to hit freely. DC come in this contest after winning super over so the confidence is high while RCB tasted the first defeat of their season in the last game thanks to Ravi Jadeja heroics. So, they would be a bit disappointed. Both teams have 8 points currently and the winner will take the pole position in the points table. So expect a cracking contest between these two giants.
Both Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore are amongst the teams hit by the unrest due to the COVID-19 situation in India, with some of their personnel choosing to leave the bubble. But as the juggernaut rolls on with those who continue to stay and play, the clash between two teams who have had a great start to the IPL 2021 season garners its own attention.
Player availability: The absence of R Ashwin will be a huge blow for DC, and they might look at using Lalit Yadav to fill the void.
Tactics and matchups:Amit Mishra has dismissed Glenn Maxwell four times but also has an economy rate of 11.38 against him, and is bound to be an interesting matchup when they face each other.
Delhi Capitals Playing 11 (likely)
S Dhawan is in prime form in this IPL. He is the leading run-scorer in this tournament with 259 runs in 5 games. He averages 51.80 and has an impressive strike rate of 142.30. Expect him to make the most of batting-friendly surface at Motera.
P Shaw is in sublime form. He made a valuable 53 runs of 39 balls in the previous game. He would be very explosive in Powerplays so in an impact player. He averages 33.20 this season and has a strike-rate of 159.61. He has made two fifties in 5 innings.
Player availability: The absence of Adam Zampa and Kane Richardson should not worry RCB too much with their first eleven still intact.
Tactics & Matchups:Yuzvendra Chahal has a good head-to-head record against Shikhar Dhawan ( 3 dismissals and an ER of 6.95) and he could be an option to throw off Delhi's successful opening pair. Possible changes include the addition of a batsman at the cost of a pacer and a first outing for Daniel Sams.
Royal Challengers Bangalore Playing 11
D Padikkal has shed of his conservative game and is going all guns blazing since the last two games. He hammered 101* off 52 balls against RR and in the last match made a quickfire 34 off just 15 balls. He averages 57.00 in this IPL season and has a strike-rate of 158.33. He has made 171 runs in 4 games so far.
AB de Villiers is an impact batsman and a dangerous finisher. He has already played 2 explosive innings this season, 48 runs off 27 balls against MI and 76 runs off 34 balls against KKR. He has a strike-rate of 172.00 in IPL 2021 and averages 43.00.
Both teams are strong and have good batting core. But BLR’s bowling looks thin and that is the advantage for DC. So in the DC vs BLR Dream11 today match prediction expect DC to win the game.
