PREVIEW: M37 - Delhi Capitals v Kings XI Punjab

VIVO IPL 2019 Match 37: Delhi Capitals v Kings XI Punjab

what

Delhi Capital VIVO will play against Kings XI Punjab in the match of IPL 2019. Both the teams have five wins in each of their nine matches, although Delhi Capitol is one place above a better net run rate.

Despite their relatively good positions in the eight-team table, there are things which can be better for both teams at a macro level. Delhi's capitals need to find out how to win at home; They have been struggling to cope with the situation and three out of four domestic matches have ended on the wrong side of the result. It is important for DC to achieve some success at home because they play three of their remaining matches at home.

KXIP needs to learn to tailor a series of victories. They are hot and cold and have not managed to win more than two matches on the bounce. In this phase, a series of wins will move them towards the next stage of the competition as well as speed.

There are also problems on the individual front in the Delhi capitals. Earth Shaw has been completely blown away by 99 runs against Kolkata Knight Riders; The 19-year-old has scored 77 runs in his last six hits. No matter how talented, team management can return only one player for a long time; The owners and management of Delhi's capitals should be disappointed with the lack of the return of young openers. The capitals of Delhi could also utilize their resources better; Considering surface slackness, they can consider raising their spin attack and possibly Nepalese leg spinner Sandeep Lamachane can be included in the eleventh.

Main character

If the pitch continues to behave the way it is yet, then both teams will rely on their openers to work hard on the new ball. Shikhar Dhawan started aggressively in the last match against MI, and the Delhi capitals want him again in the new match. Shreyas Iyer is another batsman in the DC line-up, who has nest and temperament to score runs on a slow surface.

KL Rahul, Chris Gayle, and Mayank Agarwal are the top three runners in the Kings XI Punjab. Among them, Rahul and Agarwal better know how to score runs on slow surfaces. Rahul has been dismissed only once by the spinner this season, and therefore the average against them is 122, while Agarwal has been against him by a strike rate of 162.50 despite being out six times.

On the bowling front, the majority of the overs thrown by spinners is expected. Both teams are full of quality; If there is a claim for Amit Mishra, Ekar Patel and (possibly) Sandeep Lamichane in the Delhi capitals, then Kings XI Punjab has two Ashwin (Ravichandran and Murugan) and Mujib ur Rehman. How much damage the tweeter is, and how many runs are scored, it has an effect on his team's fate.
