Match Preview: DC vs KXIP  

 Source: Google

Delhi Capitals and Kings XI Punjab are set to begin their IPL 2020 campaign with locking horns together at Dubai international stadium. Both of the teams are looking good at the paper but it is yet to see how they perform, they are two of the teams that have never won an IPL ( third being RCB ) so it will be interesting to see how they perform this season.

Head to Head

Matches Played: 24
Delhi won: 10
Punjab won: 14

Pitch Report

The pitch will favor batsmen in case of IPL matches with occasional gain for spin bowlers. Toss hasn’t played a major factor in predicting the winning team in IPL matches so far. But it has been noticed that teams winning the toss prefer bowling first considering the effect of dew on the pitch. The 2014 season of IPL, abbreviated as IPL 7 was half held in UAE. According to pitch reports and conditions, aid that it could all come down to who plays spin better as the pitches are going to get tired with so much cricket being played on them in extremely hot conditions.

Pitch will mainly help to spin bowlers and in the second innings, it will be easier to bat on this pitch. While discussing toss in this tournament the team who wins the toss doesn’t might be that much avail the benefits as the records denote that there are 50-50 chances of winning or losing the game, because last overs, low scores, might make it easier to chase the score after losing the toss, even then only if the team who wins the toss choose to build a scoreboard.

So, the team winning the toss might like to field first

Delhi Capitals might get a nod ahead of King XI due to their experienced spin department and solid middle order. This match might turn on to be something between 150-165 runs as first innings score. But if the dew factor comes into play, we might see chasing team having an advantage.

Openers 1)Rohit Sharma Source:Google An automatic selection when it comes to make an Asia XI. Rohit Sharma's numbers speaks for himself only man to hit 3 double centuries in ODI's while none of the others doing that have more than one.Starting the innings slowly but then accelerating at unbelievable rate is the kind of game he loves to play. Having him at the top of the order is the delight for everyone. 2) Tamim Iqbal Source:Google After keeping Rohit Sharma as the opener the other batsman should be a left hander. As we are making an Asia XI not India XI so batsman from other countries should also be   included. The name which strikes our mind is Tamim Iqbal. He's probably one of the most senior player in current Bangladesh setup. With the ability to score we...
