Key Players: 

David Warner: The left-hander is one of the most successful overseas players in the league. He showed his class against Kolkata with 61 off 45 balls. He will be keen to do well once again.

Mustafizur Rahman: The left-arm medium-pacer is one of the most skilful death bowlers. Rahman has been brilliant for Delhi this season and will be eyeing another decent outing against Bangalore.

Bangalore: The team lost to Chennai in the high-scoring game. The team missed the services of Harshal Patel and conceded over 200 runs against Chennai. However, even after being 50/4, chasing 217, the team scored 193/9, with the likes of Shahbaz Ahmed, Suyash Prabhudesai, and Dinesh Karthik not willing to give up. The team will take that positive from the game. It will be interesting to see if Harshal Patel gets a game or not.
