Today’s encounter is very crucial for both the teams and the remaining teams who are waiting to grab the playoff spot if they get the chance. Delhi is now placed at 5th in the points table with six wins and six losses. They have 12 points and a superior NRR means they have bright chances to be in the playoffs if they win two in two.
On the other hand, Punjab Kings are in similar territory but with lesser NRR. So, today’s encounter can be termed as do or die. The team which wins today will jump to the fourth spot and will be in serious contention for the playoffs spot.
Probable playing XIs of both the teams.
