Delhi has almost been knocked out of the tournament, as they now at the bottom of the points table with three wins from eleven games.
Bangalore, on the other hand, are still hanging at the seventh position with three wins from ten matches.
Delhi Daredevils:
They have found some star performers this season, but not all have come together which has led to their poor performance. They are coming into this game wounded after the loss against Hyderabad a couple of days back.
Royal Challengers Bangalore:

For them, this is a do-or-die game. They are coming off a loss against Hyderabad and will look to conquer Delhi in an attempt to make it to the playoffs.
Their team was a balanced one in the last game, but the loss might have triggered the think tank to make a few changes going into this game.
Pitch: The Kotla pitch played beautifully the other day in the game between Delhi and Hyderabad. We can expect that the wicket will stay good for this game as well.
Weather: There are some clouds hovering over Delhi, but there is no major risk of rain in the evening.
So we should get an entire game of 40 overs.
