Plenty of dot balls for Delhi. Should be a fun chase!
Change of pace has worked again. So before the KL Rahul-led side begin their IPL 2020 campaign, we take a look at Kings XI Punjab’s likely playing Xi for the game against DC. Hetmyer thought he could guide it towards the leg side but the extra bounce meant the ball flew off a leading edge and went to Mayank Agarwal at cover. KXIP's case is slightly more intriguing. The lockdown actually helped him catch a break, but here's IPL now, so what can we expect? Huge blow for KXIP. Losing both Iyer and Pant haven't helped Delhi Capitals at all.

We expect Dhawan and Stoinis to come out to bat.
Rahane is in as a replacement. Now we know why both teams packed their sides with fast bowlers. 14 off this one. Both DC and KXIP have an exciting squad and could very well fight for the top four spots in the T20 tournament. This is the 13th edition of the IPL. So close yet so far for KXIP.
