Delhi Capitals
Delhi Capitals played a near-perfect game against KKR. They scored 215 with the bat powered by scores from Prithvi Shaw and David Warner. Their lower-order contributed as well. With the ball, Kuldeep Yadav cleaned up his former IPL franchise much like he had a point to prove. Things seemed to fall in place for Delhi Capitals and they would like to move forward using the same template.

Royal Challengers Bangalore
The Faf du Plessis led-side lost their third match of this IPL campaign. They were no contest against a CSK side that came out all guns blazing. They conceded 216 runs with the ball which highlights the issues with their bowling. They missed Harshal Patel in the game who had to miss the game due to family reasons. With the bat as well, they were always chasing a tough total and as it turned out they fell way short of their target. Against Delhi, they will be under pressure as they lost the previous game and need to get back to winning ways.
