READ | IPL 2022: Here's how RCB's fate for Playoffs lies in the hands of MI vs DC
The two new IPL teams - Gujarat Titans (GT) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) - are already qualified with Rajasthan Royals (RR) almost making it in. However, the tough fight is now between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Delhi Capitals (DC).
If DC win their game against MI, they will overtake RCB in the fourth spot and enter the Playoffs despite both teams having 16 points, due to the Net Run Rate (NRR). While DC have a positive NRR to their name, RCB has a negative one due to their low scoring games. But for DC to make it to the Playoffs, they will need to defeat MI in their final game.
Talking about the clash, former RCB skipper Virat Kohli explained the reason he will be cheering for the Mumbai Indians.
"Trying to put our feet up and chill out for two days and support Mumbai. We have two more supporters for Mumbai, not just 2 but I think 25 more supporters," Kohli said in an interview for the IPL.
"You might see us in the stadium as well," he added while du Plessis already began the "Mumbai, Mumbai" chants.
