MATCH DETAILS:
The day has arrived, it would be the 10th of November 2020, when Delhi Capitals will square off against Mumbai Indians at Dubai International Stadium, Dubai in the grand finale of Indian Premier League 2020.
In a winner takes it all battle, two teams who finished on top of the points table in the league stage would be squaring off against each other for the fourth time this year. While MI has got the better of DC on all 3 occasions can DC get fourth time lucky and emerge champions? This match is going to be one epic blockbuster.
PREVIEW FOR DREAM11 FANTASY:
There can’t be anything bigger than the IPL final and players who do well in such games are often remembered for life. Remember Ben Cutting for SRH? Big match players like Pollard who had a forgettable outing in Qualifier 1 would be wanting to put up a show in the finals while the likes of Iyer and Pant would like to take the mantle of Indian Cricket forward with a memorable performance in the finals.
X-Factor Players To Watch Out For:
- Kieron Pollard (MI)
- Ravichandran Ashwin (DC)
WEATHER CONDITION:
The weather is predicted to be pleasant tomorrow and we can expect a full game. Wind velocity is expected to be around 21 km/hour. The daytime temperature is going to hit 32° C and the temperature is going to drop to 23° C at night. Humidity is expected to hover around 58%
PITCH REPORT:
In a big match like the IPL finals, expect the teams to win the toss and put a score on board irrespective of the conditions which lay in store. A score of 175 plus in a final is something that could prove to be daunting. The scoreboard pressure and the big match expectations can do funny things to the human mind and expect this final to be no different.
The pitch would aid stroke-making while the new ball bowlers would find the juice in the wicket especially during the start of the game tempting and would like to put on a good show. Expect a balance between both the bat and the ball.
Players like Stoinis, Dhawan, Hetymer, Iyer, Suryakumar, Ishan, Pollard, Hardik would like the surface while Bumrah and Rabada would want to make the ball talk.
