Dream11 Prediction
We expect India Capitals to win this match. There are some reasons for the deduction. India Capitals has made a good start to the season and has beaten this same side earlier in the tournament with a big margin. That apart both of these sides are pretty much equal in their team strength. The Capitals' bowling attack is in terrific form. That could make a difference to the outcome of the match.
Top Picks
Solomon Mire: Solomon Mire was devastating in his last effort for the India Capitals against this opposition. He is a powerful hitter of the cricket ball and the opposition is going to be wary of this batter. You can expect him to continue his destructive way and score more runs for the Capitals in this game.
Pravin Tambe: Pravin Tambe has made a good start to the season and has picked up 5 wickets so far. This spinner is likely to become the top wicket-taker for India Capital in this game.
Naman Ojha: Naman Ojha has been one of the very few batters for Bhilwara Kings who was among runs in the match against India Capitals. He looked like being in good touch before being dismissed for 20 in that game. He can become the leading run scorer for his team in this match.
Yusuf Pathan: Yusuf Pathan has done a good job for his team with both bat and ball. He has not only scored a few runs but also has picked up 3 wickets from the couple of games he has played. He is also a bit hitter and can hit the ball a long way. The Bhilwara team will be looking up to him to perform for them with both bat and ball.
