As far as the game is concerned, the clash would decide the fate of two teams - Delhi and RCB. For DC to qualify, they had to simply win the contest.

However, for RCB, their fate was in the hands of MI and they had to win against DC to help the Faf du Plessis side move ahead. The whole RCB squad was seen cheering for MI and some even took to Twitter to express their excitement.
