MATCH PREVIEW:
DELHI CAPITALS:
1. In the Delhi Capitals team, maximum players are performing their best. There is no need to change in the playing squad.

Ajinkya Rahane/Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer (C), Rishabh Pant (WK), Shimron Hetmyer, Marcus Stoinis, Axar Patel, Ravi Ashwin, Harshal Patel, Anrich Nortje and Kagiso Rabada.
ROYAL CHALLENGERS BANGALORE:
1. They have done exceedingly well this tournament with their last match against CSK being a jarring exception. They would have in fact liked that one of their off-games has come prior to the play-offs and they would be looking to carry forward the winning momentum.
2. RCB would like to be more expressive with their batting and would love to capitalize during the middle overs where they have been far too conservative this season.
PROBABLE PLAYING XI:
Devdutt Padikkal, Josh Philippe, Virat Kohli (C), AB de Villiers (WK), Moeen Ali, Shivam Dube, Washington Sundar, Chris Morris, Yuzvendra Chahal, Navdeep Saini and Umesh Yadav/Mohammed Siraj.
PITCH REPORT:
A strong one to bat on is the pitch at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, with scores of over 170 being regularly notched up in the last few IPL fixtures here. With the pitch slowing down a bit as the match advances, the bowlers can get some movement off the surface.
Although the ball will be reasonably well on the bat, the batsmen will be wary of pace shifts, which in IPL 2020 have reaped enormous rewards. With dew playing a huge role in the last few games, both teams will look to follow the winning toss with a highly competitive total of 170 at this venue.
WEATHER CONDITION:
The weather is expected to be sunny tomorrow. The visibility would be about 10 km, i.e. 6 miles, and 1016 mb of atmospheric pressure. The temperature during the day is going to hit 31 ° c and at night the temperature is going to drop to 22 ° c. With no precipitation and cloud covering 0 percent of the atmosphere, it will be dry, the moisture will be around 60 percent.
PROBABLE TOP PERFORMERS:
DELHI CAPITALS:
1. Kagiso Rabada
Against SRH, Kagiso Rabada had a bad day. Yet he’ll be raring to make a comeback, and so far this season he ‘s got 23 wickets to his credit.
2. Shikhar Dhawan
After his four consecutive 50 + ratings, including two back to back hundreds, Shikhar Dhawan struggled a bit. But as the team is desperate to win, expect him to shoot.
ROYAL CHALLENGERS BANGALORE:
1. Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli is the biggest run-getter for RCB and has been in great touch. At an average of 53, he has so far scored 424 runs in 12 matches.
