The Ravinder Pahal-led Delhi side currently occupies the fifth spot in the standings with three victories against Puneri Paltan, Bengal Warriors and Jaipur Pink Panthers.
With four matches to play on the home turf, the Dabangs are keen to clinch full 20 points before they take the road again.

Speaking about their preparations for the league, Dabang Delhi Captain Ravinder Pahal said, "The team has been growing in confidence and could have pulled off the last two matches against U Mumba but nevertheless now that the crowd will be supporting us and it will definitely spur us to perform at our best.
"We have won 3 games so far and few very close ones which we have lost now we would be playing at home conditions and have full support of the fans which would definitely add to our advantage. In a way, you can say that we would be starting the tournament afresh and give our best to make our fans proud of the team.

"The team is very excited to play on the home turf. We put in a lot of effort in the off season and that's showing now. Our performance has just been an incredible team effort, one which will hopefully see us reach the penultimate position in 3 week time," he added.
