Iyer-led Delhi is on the verge of making it to the playoffs as they need just one win form their remaining three games to do so. Delhi Capitals currently have 14 points in their kitty from 11 games.

Delhi Capitals skipper Shreyas Iyer on Saturday said his squad need to win at least one of the remaining three games but their main aim is to win at least two games. Iyer-led Delhi is on the verge of making it to the playoffs as they need just one win form their remaining three games to do so. Delhi Capitals currently have 14 points in their kitty from 11 games. Iyer made it clear that despite being in top three in the points table, his team takes every game as a do-or-die affair. Speaking on the eve of the contest between bottom placed Virat-led RCB and Delhi, Iyer said that he won’t take Bangalore lightly. After putting up a poor show this season, Bangalore and have to win all of their games from here to seal a playoff berth. "The job is still half done as we need to win at least one of the remaining three games. But our main aim is to win at least two games and that would be the benchmark we want to set for ourselves. Currently we are in a very positive frame of mind and hoping for a victory tomorrow.", said Iyer When asked about the nature of the wicket at Ferozshah Kotla and Chepauk stadium, Iyer said it would be an advantage for his side as the Kotla pitch is something like a blessing in disguise. "We are aware of the wicket and have a fair idea how it is playing. In all our remaining games (two in Kotla and one in Chennai), the wicket is quite same and that is something like a blessing in disguise in the current situation," he opined. Iyer said that with many players leaving the league mid-way for their respective countries to prepare for the World Cup, starting May 30, it will give them an upper hand against Bangalore as their star all-rounder Moeen Ali has gone back to England. "On a wicket like this, it would be an advantage for us as Moeen Ali will not be there in Bangalore's team and we will try to fully utilise it," Iyer said. The Delhi skipper however said that he had no idea whether pacer Kasigo Rabada would leave for national duty or not.
