Delhi captain Iyer wins toss and elects to bat against Bangalore on Sunday.

A win will ensure Delhi, currently third behind Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians, reach the cut-off limit of 16 points, needed for a play-off berth.

Delhi's performance at home is woeful, but having registered a win after two consecutive losses at the Kotla, the Shreyas Iyer-led outfit is high on confidence.

RCB will not be short on confidence either; the side seems to have regrouped successfully and found their groove. They won their last three games, defeating Kolkata Knight Riders, table toppers CSK and Kings XI Punjab. The victories briefly lifted them from the bottom of the table to the penultimate spot. They have eight points from 11 games.

Playing XI

Delhi: Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer(c), Rishabh Pant(w), Sherfane Rutherford, Colin Ingram, Axar Patel, Kagiso Rabada, Sandeep Lamichhane, Amit Mishra, Ishant Sharma.

Bangalore: Parthiv Patel(w), Virat Kohli(c), AB de Villiers, Marcus Stoinis, Heinrich Klaasen, Shivam Dube, Gurkeerat Singh Mann, Washington Sundar, Navdeep Saini, Umesh Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal
