Delhi Capitals Eye Top Position On Points Table vs RCB
Delhi Capitals have currently 12 points on the board and one more win will put them on the brink of qualification for the playoffs. RCB too have done well this season, and would be looking to get another away win under their belt to stake a claim for the top-2 finish in the group stage.
At the Chinnaswamy earlier this season, DC outclassed RCB with KL Rahul delivering a special performance. Thus, with Faf du Plessis fit, the home team, DC, would be hoping to repeat the same performance and halt RCB's progress.
