IPL 2020: RCB and DC look to finish at No. 2 in Points table
In Match 55 of Indian Premier League 2020, Royal Challengers Bangalore will be up against Delhi Capitals at Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi on Monday. The team winning this game will have a big advantage going forward as it will get an extra chance during Playoffs i.e being at no. 2 in Points table, if the team loses its first match in Playoffs it will get another opportunity to reach the final. The margin of defeat is also crucial today because any side which loses by a big margin may also be knocked out of the tournament in case Hyderabad wins against Mumbai. Coming into this game, Delhi has lost 4 games on trot while RCB has also had a hattrick of losses.
RCB vs DC Match 1
In the previous match between these two sides this season, Delhi had a big win over Bangalore. Delhi’s pace bowler Kagiso Rabada had a big role to play in that match and he will need to repeat that performance on Monday if DC want to stop this strong RCB batting lineup.

CHANGES TO SQUAD
Quite surprisingly, Capitals had dropped Axar Patel from the side in their previous encounter. Patel is expected to return to the side for this crucial match and it remains to be seen who he replaces. On the other hand, Royal Challengers may bring in Moeen Ali in order to bring more depth to their batting department.
