Delhi Capitals will host Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Monday. Both franchises have registered slump in form and stand one win away from registering a spot in the IPL 2020 playoffs. RCB will expect their gun players to fire against a struggling DC to enter the playoffs.

Delhi Capitals will expect out-of-form Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan to fire in the match. The top-order including the likes of Shreyas Iyer have not batted up to the potential. Rishabh Pant will have a crucial role to play with Marcus Stoinis important with the bat and ball. Kagiso Rabada will carry the onus of fast bowling for the capital franchise.

Devdutt Padikkal will be key at the top for RCB. He has looked in good touch and will be looking to continue in similar fashion. Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers will look to up their ante to help the Bangalore franchise clinch a big win.
