The top two teams in standings have so far played two exciting matches with Delhi winning the first encounter 5-4 here, while the Rhinos came back from a goal down to hold the Waveriders to a 2-2 draw in their second meeting in Delhi last night.

The Rhinos are now keen to settle the score after having come close to a win yesterday.

After eight matches, the Waveriders lead the standings with 34 points and are currently the only unbeaten team in the competition. The Rhinos, with five wins, a draw and two loses, are placed second with 29 points.

If the Rhinos manage to win tomorrow's tie by at least a four-goal margin then they can leapfrog the Waveriders to the top spot on better goal-difference.

However, going by the form and performance of the Waveriders so far in the tournament, the hosts would be satisfied with only a win tomorrow.

The Rhinos strive on their home support and only the Waveriders have so far managed to breach their citadel.

Just like the Waveriders, the Rhinos have also been in exceptional form in their last four encounters and would take confidence from the fact that they could pressurise the league leaders on counter attacks. MORE
