Probable XI

Royal Challengers Bangalore

Tim Southee

Despite the failure against KKR on Friday, RCB are likely to stick with the same combination. This means that Tim Southee will get one more chance despite his poor outing against KKR.

Probable XI: Parthiv Patel, Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, Marcus Stoinis, Moeen Ali, Akshdeep Nath, Tim Southee, Pawan Negi, Navdeep Saini, Yuzvendra Chahal, Mohammed Siraj.

Delhi Capitals

Amit Mishra

Amit Mishra could come back in the place of Ishant Sharma. The rest of the lineup is expected to be unchanged, as most of the players have been doing reasonably well.
