Even as Kolkata seal a play-off berth, Royal Challengers Bangalore have won the toss and invited Delhi Daredevils to bat first in the final league game in Raipur.

The winner of the game qualifies for the knock-out. The loser bows out.

"We can put pressure on the fielders by running," reasons captain Virat Kohli. Zaheer Khan, his Delhi counterpart, concurs.

"We were also looking to bowl but we don't mind batting as the wicket looks good," he says.

Teams:

For RCB: Iqbal Abdullah is in for Varun Aaron.

For DD: Chris Morris and Sam Billings are in with JP Duminy and Nathan Coulter-nile missing out.

Delhi Daredevils XI: Quinton de Kock(w), Rishabh Pant, Karun Nair, Sanju Samson, Sam Billings, Carlos Brathwaite, Chris Morris, Pawan Negi, Amit Mishra, Jayant Yadav, Zaheer Khan(c)
