Royal Challengers Bangalore will look to finish their league phase on a high as they take on first-placed Delhi Capitals. With 16 points and an inferior Net Run Rate to second-placed Chennai Super Kings, RCB's hopes of a top-two finish has reduced after losing to SRH.
Bangalore couldn't chase down a below-par 141/7 against the Hyderabad outfit and they would need to sort out their batting and put their best foot forward ahead of the knockout stage.
Delhi side (20 points from 13 matches), on the other hand, has made sure of a top-two finish. Rishabh Pant's men will look to keep the good run going without any additional pressure. Delhi have won four of the last five matches and will look to end things on a high before stepping into the qualifier.
