Royal Challengers Bangalore have won the toss and elected to bowl vs Delhi Capitals in Dubai. Batting second has ruled out the possibility of them making into the top two. Both teams are already in the playoffs with Delhi already made in the top two.
Both the sides are unchanged and will look to go all out in their final game of the league stage.
Royal Challengers Bangalore (Playing XI): Virat Kohli(c), Devdutt Padikkal, Srikar Bharat(w), Daniel Christian, Glenn Maxwell, AB de Villiers, Shahbaz Ahmed, Harshal Patel, George Garton, Mohammed Siraj, Yuzvendra Chahal

RCB electing to bowl means that there’s no mathematical chance now for them to qualify in the top two.
What captains said during toss?
Kohli: Going to have a bowl. The pitch does look a little bit dry. They’ve left enough grass in the game to sustain. Later in the second half the pitch settles down a little bit. It’s been hard work adjusting to all kinds of surfaces, and the teams that have done so have qualified. Some experiments come off, some don’t (Christian up the order). We come into this game feeling balanced about our lineup. Same team.
Pant: Pitch looks dry, would’ve looked to bat. Looking to improve each and every day as a batting unit. Right now we’re going fine. Same team.
