Right then, one might deem this as a dead rubber as the Titans have already been knocked out of the tournament. However, it is much more than that as Delhi will be looking for a win here to finish in the top-two, which will allow them to directly play the semi-finals without going through the eliminators. Even a single point from this contest will see the Delhi outfit cement the second spot. The only threat to them are a rampaging Puneri Paltan, who could finish with the same points which the Delhi side has currently, which will get the Score Difference into play. Delhi have had a topsy-turvy past few games and will be desperate to take away at least one point from this contest. The Titans were the first side that was sent spiralling out of the race for the playoffs. With only one win under their belt so far, the Titans have had a torrid run and will be looking to finish their campaign on a high, to give their fans something to cheer for.
