Preview:
Bangalore face Delhi in the last match of the league stage on Friday. One thing that might be hurting Bangalore that even a fair win cannot take them to the top of the table. Meanwhile, Delhi would be happy with the fact that even a loss in the game cannot take their top two finish in the points table. However, it doesn't mean that the game between the sides is going to be a dead rubber as both of them would look to register a victory and enter the playoffs with some added confidence.

Analysis:
Glenn Maxwell is in great form. He has registered scores of 56, 50*, 57, 40 in the past 4 games for Bangalore. Considering his red-hot form, he must be picked as captain in one's fantasy team. Meanwhile, Virat Kohli has also been decent in the recent past and a promising innings from him is round the corner. He is also a good choice for the captain spot. AB de Villiers and Devdutt Padikkal are the other star players that could be picked in the batting department. In the bowling front, Harshal Patel is having a spectacular season and is currently at 29 wickets (most by any Indian bowler in single edition of the league). He alongside star Delhi pacer Avesh Khan can fulfil the bowling demands in one fantasy squad.
