DC vs RR Dream11 Prediction and fantasy tips

The DC vs RR will be the first doubleheader of the IPL 2021 Phase II and both teams would have potential match-winners who would be hoping to bring their A-game. Let's take a look at the players who are expected to shine for both teams in Saturday's clash.

1. Shreyas Iyer:  Iyer had scored an unbeaten match-winning 47 during DC's previous game against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Wednesday and while he could not get to his fifty, the Team India middle-order batsman would be hoping to make the most of his stay at the crease once he gets set.

2. Anrich Nortje: The South African pacer was adjudged the Man of the Match award against SRH for his impressive figures of 2/12 from his four overs and Delhi would be hoping that Nortje showcases an even better performance against the Royals.

3. Yashasvi Jaiswal: The promising opener fell one short of what would have been a stupendous half-century during RR's last game against Punjab Kings on Tuesday. The emerging batsman will be looking to take heart from that impactful 36-ball 49 knock if he gets a chance against Shreyas Iyer & Co.

4. Kartik Tyagi: Kartik Tyagi was adjudged the Man of the Match for his match-winning bowling figures of 2/29 from his four overs against PBKS earlier this week. The youngster had bowled a thrilling final over with the match in Punjab's bag as they needed only four runs to win. Kartik conceded just a single and two wickets (Nicholas Pooran & Deepak Hooda) as RR snatched victory from the jaws of defeat.
