The Eoin Morgan-led side are placed at the fourth spot in the points table with 12 points from 13 matches. On the other hand, the RR are placed two spots below their opponents with 10 points from 13 matches. Both teams will be playing their last league game, with the hope of being able to finish in the top four.
