It is the Qualifier 1. And again it is a clash between the top two sides. Guess whom. CSK and DC. Very expected. Even though RCB beat DC in a thriller, their NRR was not enough to beat CSK and come to the 2nd place. So RCB will be playing against KKR in the eliminator. Anyways let’s start the preview shall we? And we’ll do that by looking at the probable playing 11 for both teams.
Probable 11 For DC:
- Prithvi Shaw
- Shikhar Dhawan
- Shreyas Iyer
- Rishabh Pant (WK) (C)
- Shimron Hetmyer
- Ripal Patel
- Axar Patel
- Ravichandran Ashwin
- Rabada
- Avesh Khan
- Anrich Nortje
Probable 11 For CSK:
- Ruturaj Gaikwad
- Faf Du Plessis
- Moeen Ali
- Ambati Rayudu
- Raina
- Dhoni (WK) (C)
- Jadeja
- Dj Bravo
- Deepak Chahar
- Shardul Thaur
- Josh Hazlewood
I have made one change in CSK’s team. I have replaced Robin Uthappa with Raina. This is because Robin is not playing as expected. He is not in form.
Pitch Report:
Dubai pitch is becoming very difficult to bat on. It is becoming very slow like Sharjah. So the team who wins the toss should elect to bowl first, because then the team who bowls first can observe the pitch and bat accordingly in the second innings.
Weather Report:
According to weather reports it is going to be a sunny and clear sky on Sunday. So no rain is expected.

Prediction:
We are picking DC to win this qualifier. This is because DC have beat CSK both times this season. I feel they the upper hand because of the beatings they have given CSK this season. Good Luck To Both Teams.
