RCB vs CSK Dream11 Prediction: In the Match 35 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 season, the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will be locking horns with the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Sharjah on 24 September. This will be the match in the IPL 2021 Phase 2 at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Sharjah.
Both these teams are coming into this match after facing contrasting fortunes in their previous outings.

On the other hand, Chennai Super Kings are high on confidence as they defeated the defending champions Mumbai Indians in their previous outing. CSK are placed second on the points table with 6 wins from eight games.
In the 28 matches between these two sides in the history of the Indian Premier League, the Chennai Super Kings have had the upper hand in this head-to-head rivalry with as many as 18 wins while Royal Challengers Bangalore have won on 9 occasions.

Pitch Report: The wicket at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium has offered terrific batting conditions as seen in the 2020 edition of the IPL and the track is expected to behave in the similar manner for this game as well. There will be a lot of dew in the second innings and thus, the team winning the toss should look to bowl first. The average first innings total will remain around 180-200 mark.
As seen in the IPL 2020 season played in the UAE conditions, the Sharjah Cricket Stadium offered a belter of a track in the opening phase of the tournament. Therefore, it will be a good decision from the fantasy cricket team point of view to include as many batsmen from either of the sides. The likes of AB de Villiers, Glenn Maxwell, Faf du Plessis and Moeen Ali will be must pick players in this game.
WICKET-KEEPERS: AB de Villiers BATSMEN: Faf du Plessis, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Glenn Maxwell, Suresh Raina, Virat Kohli ALL-ROUNDERS: Moeen Ali BOWLERS: Shardul Thakur, Deepak Chahar, Kyle Jamieson, Yuzvendra Chahal
Even though they do not have a brilliant overall record, Royal Challengers Bangalore are likely to come out as winners in this match. RCB have some great power hitting batsmen in their line-up who will be perfectly suited on the Sharjah track. On the other hand, Chennai Super Kings also have the team and momentum on their side to pose a difficult challenge for their opponents.
The Royal Challengers Bangalore will definitely want to improve their batting as well as bowling performance in this game. On a batting heavy Sharjah track, RCB will surely bank upon captain Virat Kohli, Devdutt Padikkal, Glenn Maxwell and AB de Villiers to come good in the batting department. On the other hand, the likes of Kyle Jamieson, Harshal Patel and Yuzvendra Chahal will be their crucial bowlers.
For the Royal Challengers Bangalore, swashbuckling batsman Glenn Maxwell has been in a superb form during the opening half of the Indian Premier League 2021 season. Maxwell played a brilliant knock of 78 runs off 49 balls on a difficult Chennai wicket against KKR earlier this season. The right-handed batsman has already scored more than 200 runs in this competition and also smashed two amazing half-centuries.
Royal Challengers Bangalore’s blue-chip stock AB de Villiers will surely be an important player to watch out for on a high-scoring Sharjah wicket. He has already smacked two phenomenal match-winning fifties in the India leg of the tournament and will be hoping to perform well in this important game. AB de Villiers has an amazing strike-rate of 162.99 in this competition so far having scored more than 200 runs.

The likes of Faf du Plessis, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Moeen Ali looked in a terrific form to put up winning totals on the board on consistent basis. In the bowling department, Shardul Thakur, Josh Hazlewood and Deepak Chahar have also performed really well to support the batters on a regular basis.
Chennai Super Kings’ all-rounder Moeen Ali had an incredible performance especially with the bat in the first half of IPL 2021.
