They have failed to perform in every aspect of the game. With 9 losses in 12 matches, Delhi are already out of the contention as far as the play-offs are concerned. They will be looking to go out in the middle and enjoy their game this evening. Royal Challengers Bangalore are still hopeful of making it to the play-offs and they will be looking to put in their best performance in this match. They have a lot of fire power in their batting line up. Chris Gayl, AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli can be match winners on their day. Their bowling will have to tighten things up a bit though.
