DC vs MI Dream11 prediction expert advice

The Dream11 contests are to be played strategically, and given the Arun Jaitley pitch that assists batters heavily, it is suggested to pick a batter and all-round heavy option instead of a bowling heavy pick.

A 1-4-3-3 combination would be ideal for grand leagues, with power-packed batters and bowlers in the lineup in the DC vs MI Dream11 prediction team for small leagues.
