Vijay Hazare Trophy 2019-20: Round 11, Elite Group A and B, Delhi vs Punjab – Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Tips – Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Update

Match Details:

The Round 11 Elite Group A and B game will take place between Delhi and Punjab at the Motibaug Cricket Ground in Vadodara.

The match starts at 9:00 AM local time (IST) (3:30 AM GMT).

Preview for Dream11 Fantasy:

Delhi and Punjab will face-off at the Motibaug Cricket Ground in Vadodara on Monday. Punjab is coming off victories over Baroda and Uttar Pradesh and are currently sitting pretty at the second position in the Elite Group A and B. They look destined to make it to the knockouts and another win will just confirm the same. Delhi, on the other hand, are enduring a forgettable season.

They have won only a couple of matches thus far and have lost to Uttar Pradesh and Vidarbha recently which hasn’t helped their cause. They are at the 12th place in the points table in the group and it looks extremely tough for them to jump into the top five to qualify for the quarter-finals. As of now, they will be looking to concentrate on this game in order to get the better of Punjab.

Weather Condition/Report:

The forecast in Vadodara clearly suggests that there will be no rain on Monday. Clear skies will greet both the teams and the heat will only increase as the day progresses. The temperature will hover between 29 and 33 Degrees Celsius during the match.

Pitch Condition/Report:

The surface at the venue hasn’t been great for the batsmen this season. In nine matches so far, no team has crossed the 250-run mark yet and a similar surface could be on offer once again. Rather the team batting first has bowled out for quite a low scores. Expect the side winning the toss to chose to bowl.

Average first innings score: 178 (9 matches at the venue this season)

Record of the chasing teams: Won – 5; Lost – 4
