PROBABLE XIs
DC - Shaw, Shikhar, Smith, Pant(C/Wk), Stoinis, Hetmeyer, Axar, Rabada, Mishra, Ishant, Avesh
Probable Changes
None. Although if they want to accommodate Nortje, they'd have to remove Stoinis for him, and then remove Mishra for a finisher in Lalit Yadav, Vishnu Vinod or Ripal Patel
KKR - Gill, Rana, Tripathi, Morgan(C), Karthik(Wk), Russell, Narine, Cummins, Varun, Mavi, Prasidh
Probable Changes
None. Gill has been out of form so maybe a change in batting order with Narine at the top and Gill at 4 can be a thought but the XI is expected to stay the same.
Most selected C/VC choices
Shikhar, Rana
Safe C/VC choices for SL and Mini GL teams

C/VC choices for GL

My Fantasy Team (SL)
(Pre Toss)
Wk - Pant
Bat - Rana, Tripathi, Morgan/Gill, Shaw, Smith, Shikhar
AR - Narine
Bowl - Rabada, Avesh, Cummins
Options - You can keep Varun in place of Cummins and Mishra/Ishant in place of Rabada, and accomodate Russell in for Morgan/Gill.
