PROBABLE XIs
DC - Shaw, Shikhar, Smith, Pant(C/Wk), Stoinis, Lalit, Axar, Nortje, Rabada, Mishra, Avesh
Probable Changes
Ashwin has ruled himself out of IPL 2021, hence Lalit would most likely make a comeback to the XI. Nortje is expected to come in for Hetmeyer.
RCB - Padikkal, Virat(C), Shahbaz, Maxwell, ABD(Wk), Sundar, Sams, Harshal, Jamieson, Chahal, Siraj
Probable Changes
Either Finn Allen or Daniel Sams could replace Daniel Christian. Allen would bat at 3 if he comes into the XI, and Sams will be used as a finisher plus the left arm seam option for the side. If Allen comes in, that'll be the only change. However, if Sams comes in, then one of Shahbaz Ahmed/Rajat Patidar/Md Azharudeen/Sachin Baby would slot in at No.3 replacing Navdeep Saini in the XI.
Safest C/VC choices

Bowl - Siraj, Jamieson/Chahal, Avesh
I had to leave out Harshal, Dhawan and Rabada due to credit issues.
Risky game for SL
