RCB’s Chinnaswamy stadium has always been heaven for the batters. Two matches this season have happened in this venue, and both games ended up as high-scoring games. As RCB will face DC, which has a decent batting lineup but two power hitters Warner and Powell, we can expect bigger entertainment through this game.

Fantasy Picks for the RCB vs DC Match
Captain: Faf Du Plessis
Faf is in a divine form now. His ability to convert the start into big innings makes him special.
Vice Captain : D Warner
D Warner in Bangalore will be a treat to watch. His typical aggression can be most difficult to handle on the pitches like this.
Batsmen : Du Plessis, Warner, Kohli, R Powell, P Shah.
Kohli is the batter who fully utilizes the home advantage. Considering his current form, V Kohli is a must pick.
From DC, we have P Shah and R Powell. Both are excellent batters in their own way. Especially from Powell, we can expect a serious knock.
Wicketkeepers : Karthik
Karthik’s batting hasn’t been upto the mark this year. But Chinnaswamy grounds nature can bring it back.
All rounders : G Maxwell, A Patel
Both the all rounders are the key players for their side. And big game performers. It’s a crime to leave them behind.
Bowlers : W Parnell, M Siraj, A Nortje
The pace from these three can be unanswerable when bowled in right spots. Most importantly, they bowl at powerplay and death over. So they have the best options to pick wickets.
