Two sides that are geographically and culturally extremely close to each other collide as Kings XI Punjab play host to Delhi Capitals in what will be the 13th game of the Indian Premier League on Monday.
Kings XI Punjab have two of the first three games. They have done really well for themselves, and with a solid batting lineup in KL Rahul, Chris Gayle, Mayank Aggarwal and David Miller. This team can chase down any target if they want, and it will be interesting to see what they are looking to do by the end of the season. The franchise will be eager to make the playoffs, and that has to be the objective for this year from the management.
Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals have shown some true spirit in terms of a team who has actually improved from where they were for the last few seasons. They are in the fourth spot in the league table with as two wins in three games played. This kind of fighter’s mentality will help them be in the game regardless of how tough things get, and they do possess some firepower in the shape of Shikhar Dhawan, Rishabh Pant, Prithvi Shaw and Colin Ingram.
Match Details:
Venue – Punjab Cricket Association Stadium, Chandigarh, India
Date & Time – 1st April | 8:00 PM IST
