DC Team News & Playing 11
Team News
There are no injuries in the team who are likely to go into this match with an unchanged lineup.
Key Players
Sanju Samson has been Delhi Daredevil's best batsman this IPL and there will be lot of expectations pinned on him. Rishabh Pant has also chipped in with decent contributions on occasions and he has a score of 57 against RCB in the reverse fixture. Pat Cummins and Amit Mishra will be the Daredevils' biggest hopes with the ball. The former has been among the wickets and is going to be the bigger threat of the two.
Recent Form
This has been Delhi Daredevils fifth forgetful IPL season in a row. They have had a couple of horrible batting collapses this year and despite having a strong bowling lineup, they have failed to make much of an impact with the ball.
DD Predicted Playing 11

Z Khan (c), SV Samson, KK Nair, SS Iyer, RR Pant (wk), CJ Anderson, MN Samuels, PJ Cummins, Carlos Brathwaite, A Mishra, Mohammed Shami
RCB Team News & Playing 11
Team News
Royal Challengers Bangalore have all their players in good physical condition. No changes are expected in the side for this upcoming match.
Key Players
Travis Head looked good in his knock of 75 not-out in the previous game against the KKR and the team will back him to replicate that performance here on Sunday. Mandeep Singh batted well in the last two games and he will be another batsmen to watch out for. Yuzvendra Chahal and Pawan Negi have taken wickets on a consistent basis and RCB will turn to these two spinners to apply the brakes on Delhi's scoring.
Recent Form
Royal Challengers Bangalore are right down at the bottom of the pool after having won just 2 out of the 13 league matches in this season of the IPL. They will be coming into this match after having faced defeats in the last six matches.
RCB Predicted Playing 11

V Kohli (c), CH Gayle, Mandeep Singh, AB de Villiers, TM Head, KM Jadhav (wk), P Negi, S Aravind, S Badree, A Choudhary, YS Chahal
DD vs RCB Head to Head
Royal Challengers Bangalore have beaten the Delhi Daredevils 10 times in the 17 matches they have played against them in the Indian Premier League. RCB are also ahead in the fact that they have won the last four matches out of the six that have been played at the Feroz Shah Kotla.
DD vs RCB Prediction
It is true that Royal Challengers Bangalore have been absolutely pathetic this IPL, but it is tough to write off a team that includes the likes of Gayle, de Villiers and Kohli in their batting lineup. Though the trio have hit a rough patch this year, they are still class players who on their day can demolish the best of the bowling attacks. Delhi Daredevils will be playing at their home ground but they have fared poorly against RCB here in the past few seasons, ending up losing in their previous four meetings. Royal Challengers Bangalore got the better of Delhi Daredevils earlier in the season and we predict them to emerge victorious again in this final league match.
Final Verdict: Back Royal Challengers Bangalore to beat Delhi Daredevils in the 56th match of IPL 2017.
