Royal Challengers Bangalore are really offering their full support to Mumbai Indians ahead of their clash versus Delhi Capitals at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday. While the game is a dead rubber for Rohit Sharma and Co, Delhi Capitals need to win the contest to keep themselves alive in the race for playoffs. 

That's something which Royal Challengers Bangalore won't be too keen to see as their chance of reaching the playoffs depends on the contest between MI vs DC. If Mumbai can beat Delhi, then RCB will qualify for the playoffs in fourth place. 

Faf du Plessis' men are currently two points ahead of Delhi Capitals who are in fifth place, but a win for Rishabh Pant's side could see them leapfrog RCB into fourth place, with Delhi also having a batter net run rate than RCB.
