Top Captaincy and Vice-Captaincy Picks for RAN vs DC Dream11 Prediction

Alex Hales (RAN)

• Alex Hales scored 113* runs in the last match and saw his team over the line chasing a big total.

• The conditions will suit Hales and he will be in for another big score in this game. He’ll be a top C/VC option.

Saif Hassan (RAN)

• Saif Hassan’s last two scores are 80 and 62. He’s been brilliant for the Rangpur Riders in BPL 2024-25.

Nahid Rana (RAN)

RAN vs DC Player to Avoid 

Nurul Hasan (RAN)

• Nurul Hasan will bat at 6 and can fetch points from wicket-keeping as well. With the kind of form, Rangpur’s top order is in and considering the quality of their middle order, Nurual may not even get the chance to bat or could get to bat in the last couple of overs. He will be our player to avoid.
