Now, we don't need to discuss the Delhi Capitals here. They have only one match left against the Gujarat Giants, and they are already qualified for the playoffs. Yes, a win in the last group stage match would ensure their direct ticket to the finals, and why won't they love it!
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67c1ef7c8164e.jpg" alt="">
<h2>WPL Qualification Scenario of ALL teams</h2>
<h3>Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB)</h3>
The defending champions had a horrible home leg with four losses in four home matches. They have played 6 matches and now have just two left in the group stage to make their number good enough for the qualification. 
Matches Played- 6 Won- 2 Lost- 4 NRR: -0.244 Matches left in Group Stage- 2 
<section class="cb-nws-dtl-itms" itemprop="articleBody">
<ul>
<li class="cb-nws-para">RCB vs UPW, Lucknow, March 8 </li>
<li class="cb-nws-para">RCB vs MI, Mumbai, March 11</li>
</ul>
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67b2ad3b5f11e.jpg" alt="">
RCB are pretty much alive in the contest even now. They, however, will have to win both of their remaining matches, or it is all over for them. They will have eight points if they can manage two wins from here, which might not be sufficient to ensure qualification with this NRR. They have to win big to elevate the NRR. 
<h3>Mumbai Indians (MI)</h3>
The champions of the inaugural season of the WPL haven't found their footing perfectly after the first season. They did qualify for the playoff in the second season but lost to RCB in the eliminator. This season, they have lost just two matches up until now out of the five they have played and both against Delhi Capitals 
Matches Played- 5 Won- 3 Lost- 2 NRR: +0.166 Matches left in Group Stage- 3
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: bold;">MI vs UP Warriorz, Lucknow, March 6</li>
<li style="font-weight: bold;">MI vs GG, Mumbai, March 10</li>
<li style="font-weight: bold;">MI vs RCB, Mumbai, March 11</li>
</ul>
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67b811e89dba3.jpg" alt="">
Mumbai Indians are in a better condition for qualification. They have three matches still left to play, and they are capable of winning them all as two of the three matches are at their home. Winning all three games would be enough for them, or even two wins with big margins would do the job. 
<h3>UP Warriorz (UPW)</h3>
The UP Warriorz are in the middle of the sea with two wins and three losses in five matches they have played. They will be hoping for three wins from here to reach a safe mark of 10 points.
Matches Played- 5 Won- 2 Lost- 3 NRR: -0.124 Matches left in Group Stage- 3
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: bold;">UPW vs GG, Lucknow, March 3</li>
<li style="font-weight: bold;">UPW vs MI, Lucknow, March 6</li>
<li style="font-weight: bold;">UPW vs RCB, Lucknow, March 8</li>
</ul>
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67b6193698366.jpg" alt="">
If UPW wins all three remaining matches, they secure a playoff spot. Winning at least two, including victories over GG and RCB, also works if GG loses another game to DC or MI. If UPW beats GG but loses to MI and RCB, while GG wins against DC or MI and RCB loses to MI, a three-way tie at 6 points will occur, making NRR the deciding factor. 
<h3>Gujarat Giants (GG)</h3>
Gujarat Giants and UP Warriorz are on the same page when it comes to the points table. They both have won two games out of the 5 they have played. The sole difference is in the NRR.
Matches Played- 5 Won- 2 Lost- 3 NRR: -0.450 Matches left in Group Stage- 3
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: bold;">GG vs UPW, Lucknow, March 3</li>
<li style="font-weight: bold;">GG vs DC, Lucknow, March 7</li>
<li style="font-weight: bold;">GG vs MI, Mumbai, March 10</li>
</ul>
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67c0a55dc72c4.jpg" alt="">
Gujarat Giants, currently last with four points, still have a playoff chance. Winning all three matches guarantees qualification, while two wins against UPW and MI could also work if UPW loses another. A big win against MI or DC could create a three-way tie at six points, making NRR crucial.

AUS vs AFG Dream11 Prediction: Steven Smith-led team Australia will square off with Hashmatullah Shahidi-led Afghanistan today on 28th February at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore for match number 10 of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The contest is set to begin at 2:30 PM IST.
Whenever we hear Afghanistan and Australia, the first thing to strike in the mind is the miraculous innings of Glenn Maxwell in the 2023 World Cup in Mumbai. From 7 down under 91 runs in a chase of 292, Glenn Maxwell single-handedly scored 201* runs and won the game for Australia. 
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67c132c9cc1e9.jpg" alt="">
Months later, at the T20 World Cup in Kingstown, Afghanistan made history with a stunning upset, showcasing their rise in international cricket. Now, they face Australia again in Lahore, with a Champions Trophy semifinal spot on the line.
The scenario is straightforward: Australia will qualify with a win or if rain cancels the match. Afghanistan must win to secure their place. If the game is washed out, Afghanistan will move to 3 points but will need England to defeat South Africa by a big margin to stay in contention.
Afghanistan, famously known as the Giant-Killers, are very close to creating an impossible-looking spot from the Group B. The Australian side would be ready to take on Afghanistan for the qualification.
Below is the AUS vs AFG Dream11 Prediction for the 10th Match of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025:

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="ind-vs-eng-dream-11-prediction-today-match">AUS vs AFG Dream11 Prediction</h2>
Control over spin will play a crucial role in the contest between Australia and Afghanistan. The surface in Lahore has supported mostly pacers but spinners have played vital role, making players like Rashid Khan, Noor Ahmad, and Adam Zampa valuable picks for the Dream11 team.
However, given the high-scoring nature of the venue, including pacers like Azmatullah Omarzai and Nathan Ellis, who can thrive in high-pressure situations, will also be beneficial. Additionally, considering the forecast for light rain, having adaptable all-rounders like Glenn Maxwell and Mohammad Nabi could make a significant difference.

The pitch at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore has been a paradise for batters in the Champions Trophy this season, with an impressive scoring rate of 6.83 runs per over. The surface is ideal for stroke-making, offering minimal assistance to spinners. While there hasn’t been much seam movement, Pacers may extract some spongy bounce from the deck.
The conditions are expected to remain consistent throughout the match, making chasing a preferred option. As a result, the toss-winning team is likely to opt for bowling first.

Afghanistan and Australia clash in Lahore for a Champions Trophy semifinal spot. Australia qualifies with a win or washout, while Afghanistan must win or rely on England beating South Africa convincingly.

ENG vs AFG: One of the most important contests of GROUP B–England vs Afghanistan–is scheduled to be played at the Gaddafi Stadium of Lahore, Pakistan today. This is going to be a "winner takes all and the loser loses all" type of match as there is a lot to win and lose. 
Both teams have already suffered one defeat in their three-game league stage, making this match a must-win to stay in contention for the semifinals. Their chances would have been minimized if the AUS vs SA match had a result but the abandoned match between Australia and South Africa have opened up more opportunities for these two teams.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67bddba309e0a.jpg" alt="">
The last time these two sides met in an ICC tournament, Afghanistan stunned England with a 69-run victory in the 2023 ODI World Cup. Given the subcontinental conditions and Afghanistan’s spin strength, this match promises to be a close battle. However, pitches in Pakistan have been batting heavy till now and Afghanistan's bowling is more golden on spin-friendly surfaces.
Both teams endured heavy losses in their opening games. England's 351-run total against Australia was comfortably chased down, exposing their weak bowling attack. Afghanistan, on the other hand, struggled against South Africa, conceding 315 runs and then collapsing with the bat.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67b8b0a56c9fc.jpg" alt="">
While England holds a slight edge due to their superior pace bowling attack, Afghanistan's ability to put up a strong first-innings total could make things interesting. Dew is expected to be a key factor, favoring the chasing team.
Let's take a look at the Squads, probable playing11s, Gaddafi Stadium's Pitch Report, and Weather Forecast for the ENG vs AFG match:
<h3>ENG vs AFG: Squads</h3>
Afghanistan: Rahmanullah Gurbaz(w), Ibrahim Zadran, Sediqullah Atal, Rahmat Shah, Hashmatullah Shahidi(c), Azmatullah Omarzai, Mohammad Nabi, Gulbadin Naib, Rashid Khan, Noor Ahmad, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Fareed Ahmad Malik, Ikram Alikhil, Nangeyalia Kharote, Naveed Zadran.
England: Philip Salt, Ben Duckett, Jamie Smith(w), Joe Root, Harry Brook, Jos Buttler(c), Liam Livingstone, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood, Jamie Overton, Rehan Ahmed, Saqib Mahmood, Tom Banton, Gus Atkinson.
<h3>Probable Playing XIs</h3>
Afghanistan: Rahmanullah Gurbaz(wk), Ibrahim Zadran, Sediqullah Atal, Rahmat Shah, Hashmatullah Shahidi(c), Azmatullah Omarzai, Gulbadin Naib, Mohammad Nabi, Rashid Khan, Mujeeb-ur-Rahman/Noor Ahmad, Fazalhaq Farooqi.
England: Phil Salt, Ben Duckett, Jamie Smith(wk), Joe Root, Harry Brook, Jos Buttler(wk), Liam Livingstone, Jamie Overton, Adil Rashid, Jofra Archer, Mark Wood.
<h2>ENG vs AFG Gaddafi Stadium Pitch Report</h2>
The Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore is known for its batting-friendly pitches, with high-scoring matches being a regular affair. In recent ODIs at this venue, teams have successfully chased down 300+ targets. The presence of dew in the second innings could make bowling difficult, favoring the team batting second. Captains winning the toss might prefer to bowl first.
<h2>Lahore's Weather Forecast</h2>
The weather in Lahore is expected to be clear, with no rain predicted. The temperature will stay in the 20s throughout the match. High humidity and cloud cover could aid swing bowling early on, making it challenging for batters in the initial overs. However, as the game progresses and dew sets in, batting conditions should improve.

IND vs PAK 2025: The most awaited clash between the arch-rivals India and Pakistan is scheduled to set the Dubai International Stadium on FIRE today at 2:30 PM onwards. The 2017 finalists meet again, with India determined to even the scales against their fierce rivals.
India and Pakistan have shared an intense cricketing rivalry, especially in ICC tournaments, where India has historically dominated. With 10 wins in 13 ODI encounters, India has consistently outperformed Pakistan on the grand stage. However, the Champions Trophy remains an exception, where Pakistan holds a slight edge with a 3-2 win-loss record, making it the only ICC event where they have a positive record against India.
Notably, Pakistan's two most recent victories against India in ICC events, the 2017 Champions Trophy final and the 2021 T20 World Cup, were heavily influenced by their pace attack. Mohammad Amir’s fiery spell in 2017 and Shaheen Afridi’s destructive opening burst in 2021 proved crucial in dismantling India’s top order early in the innings.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67ba8a2285d06.jpg" alt="">
On an individual level, Shubman Gill has been setting new benchmarks in ODI cricket. With 2688 runs in just 51 innings, he holds the record for the most runs at this stage of a career. His remarkable average of 62.51 is the highest for any player, showcasing his consistency.
Additionally, only Pakistan’s Imam-ul-Haq has scored more centuries (9) than Gill at the same point in his career. With such rising talents and historical rivalries, every India-Pakistan encounter remains a high-stakes battle on the global stage.
<h2>IND vs PAK, Squads and Playing11s</h2>
India Squad: Rohit Sharma(c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel, KL Rahul(w), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Harshit Rana, Mohammed Shami, Kuldeep Yadav, Rishabh Pant, Washington Sundar, Varun Chakravarthy, Arshdeep Singh

<h2>Team Updates and Probable Playing11s</h2>
<h3>Pakistan</h3>
The defending champions, Pakistan, find themselves in a challenging position after a disappointing start to their ICC Champions Trophy 2025 campaign, having lost their opening match. To make matters worse, they will be without key player Fakhar Zaman for the crucial clash against India. His absence at the top order was already felt in their first game, and missing him in such a high-stakes encounter could further weaken their chances.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67ba8ac0c69d7.jpg" alt="">
However, Pakistan has shown resilience in pressure situations before, most notably in the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy final, where they outclassed India to lift the trophy. With Babar Azam and Shadab Khan being the only two players from that victorious squad, their experience and leadership will be crucial in guiding Pakistan through this do-or-die battle.
Full Squad: Babar Azam, Imam-ul-Haq, Saud Shakeel, Mohammad Rizwan(w/c), Salman Agha, Tayyab Tahir, Khushdil Shah, Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf, Abrar Ahmed, Kamran Ghulam, Faheem Ashraf, Mohammad Hasnain, Usman Khan
Probable Playing11: Babar Azam, Imam-ul-Haq, Saud Shakeel, Mohammad Rizwan (c &amp; wk), Salman Agha, Tayyab Tahir, Khushdil Shah, Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf, Abrar Ahmed
<h3>INDIA</h3>
India started their tournament with a strong win against Bangladesh. Mohammed Shami was the star with five wickets, while Shubman Gill scored a century, and Rohit Sharma also added some runs. The team is in good form and will look to carry their winning momentum into the match against Pakistan.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67b754747edd5.jpg" alt="">
Captain Rohit Sharma is likely to keep the same team that played against Bangladesh. Harshit Rana is expected to continue in the playing XI instead of left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh, with Mohammed Shami leading the bowling attack. Although Rishabh Pant has a viral fever, it is not expected to change India’s team selection for this important match.
Full Squad: Rohit Sharma(c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel, KL Rahul(wk), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Harshit Rana, Mohammed Shami, Kuldeep Yadav, Rishabh Pant, Washington Sundar, Varun Chakravarthy, Arshdeep Singh
Probable Playing11: Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wk), Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami and Harshit Rana.
<h2>DUBAI International Stadium Pitch Report and Playing Condition</h2>
Dubai International Cricket Stadium offers early assistance to fast bowlers, with some seam movement in the initial overs. However, as the match progresses, batting conditions generally improve. Spinners can have an impact in the middle overs if the pitch slows down.
Dew is a key factor in night matches, often influencing captains to bowl first, as it makes batting easier under lights and reduces spinners' effectiveness in the second innings.
The chase in the first match between India and Bangladesh wasn't straightforward. Despite a modest total, Bangladesh fought hard. Against Pakistan, which boasts one of the best bowling attacks in the tournament, any weakness from India could prove costly.
ODI Stats at Dubai International Cricket Stadium
Total Matches: 34 Wins Batting First: 12 Wins Batting Second: 21 Tied Matches: 1 Average 1st Innings Score: 228 Highest Score: England – 355/5 Lowest Score: Hong Kong – 116/10 Scoring Pattern Below 200: 10 times 200–249: 13 times 250–299: 8 times 300+: 3 times
<h2>Match Prediction</h2>
At present, India as a team is a far more complete team when compared to Pakistan. Bumrah is injured but the bowling lineup is in good form with Shami taking a five-fer. Batters are sounding good and that's all you need to win the game. 
We predict India will win the Match by 20-30 runs if batted first or by 3-5 wickets if bowled first!

<h2>M Chinnaswamy Stadium Pitch Report</h2>
The M Chinnaswamy Stadium is traditionally known for its flat wickets and small boundaries, making it a batter’s paradise. However, the recent use of black soil for the pitches has introduced some unpredictability, leading to both high and low-scoring games. In WPL 2024, chasing teams had the upper hand, winning seven out of 11 matches.
RCB had a 3-2 record at home last season, while MI won three out of their four games here. The pitch generally favors batters, but bowlers, especially spinners, might find some assistance as the game progresses. Teams winning the toss may prefer to chase, considering past trends.  
Important Stats:
<ul>
<li>Total Women’s Matches: 8  </li>
<li>Batting First Won: 4 | Batting Second Won: 4  </li>
<li>Highest Total: 163/5 (India Women vs Bangladesh Women, 2016)  </li>

India and Bangladesh are set to face each other in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on February 20. This match marks the beginning of India's campaign, and both teams will be looking to start strong.
While India is bringing a spin-heavy squad, Bangladesh is expected to counter with a balanced bowling attack. The conditions in Dubai could play a crucial role in determining the best team combination.  
<h2>Pitch Report and Weather Conditions  </h2>
Dubai is not known for frequent rains, but recent cloudy weather has raised some concerns. The forecast for match day suggests overcast conditions, though rain is unlikely. The pitch at Dubai International Cricket Stadium usually offers assistance to both pacers and spinners. Historically, teams chasing have had better success here. In the last ICC event hosted in Dubai, the 2021 T20 World Cup, 12 out of 13 matches were won by the team batting second. This trend continued in the recent ILT20 tournament, where 11 out of 15 matches in Dubai favored the chasing side.  
Spinners could come into play as the tournament progresses, especially with rising temperatures making the surface drier. The average first-innings score in ODIs here is 181, with a par total around 210. However, considering the strengths of both teams, a target of 250+ could be competitive.  
<h2>India vs Bangladesh: Probable Playing XIs  </h2>
<h3>India's Probable XI:</h3>
1. Rohit Sharma (c)   2. Shubman Gill   3. Virat Kohli   4. Shreyas Iyer   5. KL Rahul (wk)   6. Hardik Pandya   7. Axar Patel   8. Ravindra Jadeja   9. Kuldeep Yadav   10. Mohammed Shami   11. Arshdeep Singh  
India is expected to go with three left-arm spinners—Jadeja, Axar, and Kuldeep—alongside pace spearhead Mohammed Shami. Despite Harshit Rana’s good performance against England, Shami's experience might earn him a spot in the playing XI.  
<h3>Bangladesh's Probable XI:</h3>
1. Tanzid Hasan   2. Soumya Sarkar   3. Najmul Hossain Shanto (c)   4. Mehidy Hasan Miraz   5. Mushfiqur Rahim (wk)   6. Mahmudullah   7. Towhid Hridoy / Jaker Ali   8. Nasum Ahmed   9. Taskin Ahmed   10. Nahid Rana   11. Mustafizur Rahman / Tanzim Sakib  
Bangladesh has a good mix of spinners and pacers, with Nahid Rana leading the pace attack. They may field three spinners in Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Nasum Ahmed, and Rishad Hossain, depending on conditions.  
<h2>HOT Picks for Dream11 Grand League Team  </h2>
India:   - Rohit Sharma: A big match player who has a history of performing well in ICC events.   - Shubman Gill: Has been in great form and could anchor the innings.   - Ravindra Jadeja: Provides value with both bat and ball; his experience will be key.   - Kuldeep Yadav: A wicket-taking option who could trouble Bangladeshi batters with his variations.  
Bangladesh:  - Najmul Hossain Shanto: The captain will be crucial in holding the innings together.   - Mehidy Hasan Miraz: An all-rounder who can contribute to all departments. - Taskin Ahmed: Bangladesh’s pace spearhead, who can take early wickets. - Nahid Rana: A rising fast-bowling talent who could make a big impact.  
India goes into the match as favorites, given their strong squad and excellent record in ODIs. They have won five out of six ODIs played in Dubai. Bangladesh, however, should not be underestimated. They can pose a challenge if they handle spin well and their fast bowlers strike early. The toss will play a crucial role, as chasing has been the preferred option at this venue.  
<h2>Dream11 Team for IND vs BAN, Match No. 2</h2>
Wicketkeeper- M Rahim
Batters- Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, N Hossain Shanto
All-Rounders- Hardik Pandya, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Axar Patel
Bowlers- Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakravarthy, Nahid Rana

India faces Bangladesh in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 in Dubai. Spin-friendly conditions may influence team selection. India are favorites, but Bangladesh’s balanced attack could pose a challenge.

India and Bangladesh are set to clash in the second match of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This post contains the dream11 tips and match preview.

PAK vs NZ Champions Trophy 2025: The much anticipated ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Starts Today with the hosts Pakistan taking on the ICC Knockout Trophy winner (2000) New Zealand at Karachi's National Stadium. 
The excitement is noticeable, with stadiums prepared, security in place, and BCCI-Pakistan tensions momentarily subdued. The tournament will test Mohammad Rizwan’s leadership as Pakistan looks to reclaim glory on home soil. 
However, selection calls, including a single spinner and batting-order adjustments, have raised eyebrows. Their recent aggressive batting approach has delivered mixed results, and they now face a stern challenge against New Zealand, a team that has beaten them twice in recent encounters. 
Despite Pakistan’s home advantage, the Santner-led Black Caps are familiar with the venue and have a solid ODI record, though they are dealing with injury setbacks. Nevertheless, this is going to be the fight of two big bulls of modern-day cricket.

The two teams were the finalists in the WPL 2024 where Smriti Mandhana's Royal Challengers Bengaluru defeated Meg Lanning's Delhi Capitals. This match is going to be a good opportunity for Delhi Capitals to revenge their defeat in the finals of the last season. 
<h2>Team News and Updates</h2>
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: The defending champions started their 2025 campaign with a win against Gujarat Giants in a high scoring match. The Royals chased down 201 with the middle order firepower and this is going to be their key resource for the rest of the tournament as well.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67b2ad3b5f11e.jpg" alt="">
RCB Women might seek to strengthen their bowling with the inclusion of experienced Sneh Rana. Other than that, RCB is expected to land the same playing11 as there were no specific reasons to make any change in the starting11. 
Squad: Smriti Mandhana(c), Danielle Wyatt-Hodge, Ellyse Perry, Raghvi Bist, Richa Ghosh(w), Kanika Ahuja, Georgia Wareham, Kim Garth, Prema Rawat, Joshitha VJ, Renuka Thakur Singh, Jagravi Pawar, Heather Graham, Sabbhineni Meghana, Sneh Rana, Ekta Bisht, Nuzhat Parween, Charlie Dean

Delhi Capitals: The two-time finalists, Delhi Capitals, have consistently been a strong team but have struggled to capitalize on crucial moments. This season, they look more formidable than ever, having already defeated the inaugural champions in their opening match of 2025. With momentum on their side, they are now set to take on RCB in what promises to be an exciting clash.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67b2ad40985ae.jpg" alt="">

Ellyse Perry (RCB - All-rounder) – Contributes with both bat and ball; a Dream11 favorite. Marizanne Kapp (DC - All-rounder) – If she plays, she's a game-changer with both bat and ball. Richa Ghosh (RCB - Wicketkeeper-Batter) – Aggressive middle-order batter and effective behind the stumps. Annabel Sutherland (DC - All-rounder) – Handy batter and a wicket-taking bowler. Renuka Thakur Singh (RCB - Bowler) – India’s top pacer, capable of striking in powerplay and death overs. Alice Capsey (DC - All-rounder) – An attacking batter and can chip in with the ball.
<h2>RCB vs DC High risk, High reward Picks</h2>
Danielle Wyatt-Hodge (RCB - Opener) – Can score big at the top but is inconsistent. Shafali Verma (DC - Opener) – Explosive but prone to early dismissals. If she gets going, she can change the game. Minnu Mani (DC - All-rounder) – A dark horse; can contribute with bat and ball but is relatively untested at this level. Sarah Bryce (DC Wicketkeeper Batter) – The explosive Irish wicketkeeper batter showed the glimpse of her explosiveness in the previous match and could be game changer in the middle. 
These are the players that are worth keeping in one of you dream11 teams if you are a milti-team player. However, these are predictions, made on the basis of the previous stats, form and playing condition, and might go wrong.
