IPL 2020 Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bangalore Probable 11s, Abu Dhabi weather and pitch report

This is the second last game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) and there is plenty at stake for both sides. Virat Kohli’s Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) have lost three games on the trot while Delhi Capitals (DC) are in the midst of an even bigger slump, having lost four back-to-back games and that too with heavy margins. 

With both teams’ net run-rate below that of Kings XI Punjab, they will have to win this encounter. The equation is simple for both sides. If either team wins, they will seal the second spot and play Mumbai Indians in the first qualifier. In the earlier encounter between the two sides, Delhi Capitals won by 59 runs and they have now won three consecutive games against Royal Challengers Bangalore.
