Royal Challengers Bangalore will face Delhi Capitals in the final league match today at Dubai International Cricket Stadium. With a loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad on Wednesday, Royal Challengers Bangalore’s chances of finishing in the top two spots fade away. Their new lineup backfired with Glenn Maxwell’s wicket at the wrong time.
Delhi Capitals are one of the most consistent teams in the IPL over the last three years. They have a strong bench and may try something different in this game to keep their key players fresh ahead of the playoffs. In a dramatic match, they defeated Chennai Super Kings by three wickets in the final over of the previous game. If they win this match, they will finish first in the group with 22 points.
Weather
With an average temperature of roughly 33 degrees Celsius, another beautiful evening is expected in Dubai.
Pitch
The batsmen haven’t had much help from the wicket at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, which has been sluggish. Scoring runs is always challenging in the middle phase of the game. A 150-160 runs first-inning total will be expected in this game.
