Delhi Capitals will match against the Kings XI Punjab in their opening game of the Indian Premier League 2020. The action for the second day of the tournament has now shifted to Abu Dhabi. Delhi Capitals have performed brilliantly in the last season.
This season the Shreyas Iyer-led Delhi Capital side came with much stronger team and they are also the top contenders to win the title as well. On the other hand the Kings XI Punjab side is also well equipped with some star players like captain, Shreyas Iyer, Chris Gayle and Glenn Maxwell.
In settling the batting order both the teams will face a huge dilemma. Delhi Capitals have Shikhar Dhawan, Rishabh Pant, Prithvi Shaw, Shreyas Iyer, Marcus Stoinis, Alex Carey, and Shimron Hatmeyr, who can bat in the top order but according to criteria only four overseas players can be the part of the final eleven and for Delhi Capitals they can’t kick off Kagiso Rabada from the final eleven of the side. So, the final call is important for entire team management.
Moving on to the Kings XI Punjab side, they have the most explosive batting line up in this season and with the inclusion of Glenn Maxwell in their side they look much more stronger. They also roped in James Neesham in their side who could be a crucial player at the finishing slot.
This game is going to be an exciting one for both the teams.
