Preview

It is the final day of the league stage of the IPL and Delhi Capitals are a big price to claim an 11th win in 14 matches this season.

Delhi are already assured of a top-two finish and a smoother path through the playoffs but they will want to maintain their fine form after beating main title rivals Chennai on Monday.

Opponents Royal Challengers Bangalore have also made the playoffs but their three-game winning streak came to a disappointing end on Wednesday against bottom club Sunrisers Hyderabad, who had lost ten of their previous 12 matches.

In the other game of the day, Mumbai Indians may require a wide-margin win over the Sunrisers depending on Kolkata's result against Rajasthan on Thursday.

The Indians kept alive their playoff hopes by thrashing the Royals by eight wickets with almost 12 overs to spare on Tuesday.
