Captain Nitish Rana has confirmed Andre Russell is all fit and reading to go while they have not given us an update regarding Khaleel Ahmed’s hamstring strain.
DC is most likely to name three overseas players in their starting XI while we predict Prithvi Shaw and Mustafizur Rahman to be their top options for Impact Players.
In the KKR lineup, we expect Jason Roy to finally get a go and replace under-performing Rahmanullah Gurbaz. N Jagadeesan will be a good wicket-keeping option in-case Gurbaz is left out tonight. Venkatesh Iyer and Suyash Sharma are their top options for Impact player swaps.

Shane Watson the assistant coach for the Capitals hinted in the last game that they may look to promote Axar Patel in the batting order due to their struggle with the bat and with the pitch offering some spin he can prove to be very handy with the ball tonight hence we made him our captain in the Fantasy XI. Andre Russell is our vice-captain who can take the pitch conditions out of the equation because of his fantastic power-hitting ability.
