Delhi Daredevils' Rishabh Pant plays a shot during his blistering knock against Royal Challengers Bangalore in New Delhi on Saturday.

 

It would have been a great battle, if the situation the two teams are in was not farcical. Delhi Daredevils hosts Royal Challengers Bangalore on Saturday as the face-off between two teams at the bottom of the table remains of consequence to only one, and that too by the slimmest of margins.

On paper, there is no comparison between the two sides. RCB has one of the strongest batting units in the tournament with sufficient bowling power as well, while DD has more utility players than big-name match-winners. In reality, there has been little to choose between the two on field.
