After a thrilling victory over the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Feroz Shah Kotla, the Delhi Capitals (DC) will now face the Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) in Mohali. Their confidence must be extremely high now but it will be a huge test of the young team’s character against the Punjab based franchise. KXIP defeated the Mumbai Indians (MI) on Saturday and the home advantage is definitely with them.
Prithvi Shaw played a blinder of an innings against KKR but was unlucky not to get to his hundred. Nevertheless, he is back in form after an ordinary start to the season and the home team must look to get him early. The Capitals are looking a team to beat this time around and with some clever men sitting in the dugout, it will be interesting to see how they perform in their second away game.
Ravi Ashwin must be delighted the way his team has begun its home league. This year they will be playing all their home matches in Mohali, unlike last year when they got only three. They won all of them and are on a winning spree at the venue. The team which played against the MI looked very much stable and it remains to be seen if they make any changes to their combination based on the conditions.
