RCB vs DC Team and Playing XI

Royal Challengers Bangalore (Playing XI): Devdutt Padikkal, Aaron Finch, Virat Kohli (C), AB de Villiers (WK), Shivam Dube, Mohammad Siraj, Isuru Udana, Washington Sundar, Moeen Ali, Navdeep Saini, Yuzvendra Chahal.

The Stadium in Dubai is one of the biggest in UAE but despite that, teams have played high-scoring encounters and with the pitch traditionally supporting batsmen, yet another game with high scores can be expected. The temperature is expected to be around 30 degrees so the dew factor will play a huge role while chasing.

Both teams have won three of their opening for games this season and find themselves among the top three in the points table. However, tonight’s winner will move to the top of team standings and both teams will be looking for that summit position.
