Mohali. The second match will be played on Saturday at Maharaja Yadvindra Singh Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur from 3:30 pm. The interest of the fans in this match is high because Rishabh Pant is going to return to the cricket field from this match itself. In such a situation, the fans would like Pant to show his bat power on the field and give a winning start to Delhi.
On the other hand, Shikhar Dhawan will be seen captaining Punjab again. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see how Dhawan captains and performs in this season. By the way, this time Punjab Kings will play in their new home ground Mullanpur. In such a situation, the team will face the visiting team in its new home ground with the intention of starting the season with a win.
For the first time, IPL is going to be played in the newly constructed stadium in Mullanpur near Chandigarh. Many exciting matches have been seen between both the teams in the IPL history so far. If we talk about the head to head record between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals so far in IPL history, both the teams have played 32 matches against each other. In which Punjab Kings have won 16 times, while Delhi Capitals have won the match 16 times.
In the last IPL season, when both the teams played 2 matches against each other, the Punjab Kings team had won. In which he was successful in winning one match by 6 runs and in the other match by 4 wickets. Out of the last 5 matches played between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals, Punjab has been successful in winning thrice while Delhi team has been successful in winning only twice.
Last season was a forgettable one for both the teams:
In the year 2023, these two teams together had lost a total of 17 matches. As a result, both of them could not move upwards in the points table. Where Delhi finished the season at 9th place. Whereas, Punjab remained at 8th rank.
Had met face to face twice:
Last season, Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals clashed twice. During this, both the teams had won 1-1 match. In the 59th match of IPL 2023, Punjab Kings defeated Delhi Capitals by 31 runs. Whereas in the 64th match of the 16th season, Delhi defeated Punjab by 15 runs. The captains of both the teams are taking the field after a long time, so both will try to start this season with a win.
All eyes will be on Pant’s return:
All the fans are eagerly waiting for the Delhi Capitals team to take the field, with eyes set on the return of Rishabh Pant. Pant could not play last season due to injury in a car accident, whereas he has already been declared completely fit for this season. Pant’s return will strengthen the batting of Delhi Capitals team. Pant’s record against Punjab in the past is excellent.
Pant’s strike rate against most of the Punjab bowlers is above 150. Pant has scored runs at a strike rate of 208.3 against Chris Woakes, 150 against Curran, 233.3 against Livingston and 200 against Chahar and all four bowlers have not been able to dismiss Pant even once. There will also be less pressure from David Warner, under whose leadership the team played last season and was eliminated from the league stage itself.
The responsibility of getting wickets rests on the shoulders of Rabada:
At the same time, in the camp of Punjab Kings, all eyes will be on Jonny Bairstow. It will be interesting to see how this English player performs in the T20 format after his disappointing performance on the Indian tour. Last season was nothing special for Sam Curran. But this year Punjab Kings will have expectations from their most expensive player. At the same time, the responsibility of getting important wickets for the team will once again be on the shoulders of Kagiso Rabada. Here, Delhi Capitals will hope from Prithvi Shaw to bring his faltering career back on track.
Rabada can become an obstacle in Warner’s path:
David Warner last led Delhi Capitals in Pant’s absence. Although Delhi could not perform satisfactorily, Warner is also the batsman who has scored the most runs (948) for Delhi at an average of 41.2 since IPL 2022. At the same time, Kagiso Rabada has made Warner his victim thrice in IPL. However, Warner has also scored 102 runs against him at a strike rate of 178.9. Even if Warner escapes Rabada’s clutches, his next big challenge will be to deal with Sam Curran and Rahul Chahar, who he has dismissed twice and thrice respectively in the IPL.
There may be a clash with Harshal Patel, Arshdeep may surprise:
Pant may face competition from Harshal Patel. Harshal has shown Pant the way to the pavilion once in three innings of IPL. Punjab can use Harshal as its death bowling option, in such a situation, if Pant remains at the crease during that time, then the match between these two can be very interesting. Although Punjab has the option of Arshdeep Singh for bowling in this phase too, but Arshdeep and Pant have not faced each other much in the IPL. Pant has played only two balls for Arshdeep in the IPL so far and he has scored two runs in them.
