After 14 points in their kitty from 11 games, Delhi Capitals need just one more win from their remaining three games to seal a playoffs berth in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) but skipper Shreyas Iyer on Saturday said that his sole focus will be to win at least two of them.
Delhi is set to host the bottom-placed Royal Challengers Bangalore on Sunday and Iyer made it clear that despite their opponents' poor show, his side will not take the Virat Kohli-led side lightly. Bangalore has managed to win just four of their 11 games and have to win all of their games from here to keep their playoffs hopes alive.
What to expect?
It is going to be hot and sultry and that might force the captain to decide to bowl first. Dew might not play a significant factor. However, the pitches in Delhi haven't been that high-scoring. So, expect the ball to grip a bit and par scores being touched.
Probable Playing XIs:
DC: Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Colin Ingram, Shreyas Iyer (C), Rishabh Pant (WK), Sherfane Rutherford, Chris Morris/Sandeep Lamichhane, Axar Patel, Kagiso Rabada, Amit Mishra, Ishant Sharma
RCB: Parthiv Patel (WK), Virat Kohli (C), AB de Villiers, Shimron Hetmyer, Shivam Dube/Akshdeep Nath, Marcus Stoinis, Washington Sundar, Yuzvendra Chahal, Navdeep Saini, Umesh Yadav, Tim Southee
