In their previous meeting, Delhi Capitals’ bowling unit showed sheer domination and bowled out Punjab Kings for 115. In response, the Rishabh Pant-led side reached the target in 11 overs and clinched a comfortable victory.

The Kagiso Rabada-led bowling unit did not let RCB chase down the target and restricted them to 155. The huge win helped them to boost their net run rate which can play a major role in the playoff decider.

On the other hand, Delhi Capitals also clinched a victory against the in-form Rajasthan Royals in their last match in Navi Mumbai. The collective effort of Mitchell Marsh and David Warner helped them to reach a 161-run target losing only two wickets with 11 balls left to spare.
