Indian Premier League, 2019 | Kings XI Punjab vs Delhi Capitals, 13th Match | KXIP vs DC Who Will Win
After a crushing victory over Mumbai Indians in their previous encounter, the Kings XI Punjab will now welcome neighbours Delhi Capitals for their second home game on the trot which will be the 13th match of this season.
The home side Kings XI Punjab along with Kolkata Knight Riders, Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians have played 3 matches so far and have registered wins in two of them.
Their first win of the season came against Rajasthan Royals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium where the infamous ‘Mankading’ incident took place. Their second game was against KKR at the iconic Eden Gardens where they were taken to the cleaners courtesy Andre Russell’s havoc batting display.
It was the third game when they made an appearance at their home and did not disappoint their home crowd as they convincingly defeated the 3-time champions Mumbai Indians by 8 wickets.
Their net-run rate as of now is on the negative side which means they are sitting at the fourth position with 4 points against their name.
If you want to bowl a yorker, bowl it like Kagiso Rabada. To remove Dre Russ one has to bowl a 147.3 Kph toe-crushing yorker and Rabada delivered the same to hand his side a victory in the first super-over of this season.
The environment at the Feroz Shah Kotla was breathtaking as the crowd was backing their side and they weren’t disappointed courtesy Kagiso Rabada’s annihilating super-over.
With 3 wins to their name, the Delhi Capitals are sitting firmly at the second position right behind Kolkata Knight Riders who pip them on the basis of net run-rate.
Their next stop is Mohali, where they will collide against Kings XI Punjab. Delhi will look to avenge their last season’s humiliating loss against the same opponent at the same venue which saw KL Rahul’s blistering 16 balls 50 tearing apart Delhi Capitals in their tournament opener for 2018.

Here’s how both teams DCght line-up:-
Players to bet on from KXIP
Starting with a half-century in the first game followed by two brisk knocks of 20 and 40 in the next two outings, Chris Gayle looks like a man on a mission. KL Rahul finally gets going in the last game and with Mayank Agarwal and David Miller continuing with their fanatic batting display, the batting unit of KXIP definitely looks ready to go.
Mohammad Shami is leaking runs so far but is one of the main bowling options for skipper R Ashwin. Same is the case with Andrew Tye whereas Murugan Ashwin looked decent with the ball in his last outing.
Players to watch out from DC
A team filled with exciting young talent led by the youngest skipper of IPL Shreyas Iyer has been roaring loud so far.
The likes of Prithvi Shaw, skipper Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant and the experienced cog Shikhar Dhawan are the core of this batting line-up.
In Chris Morris they have a guy who can contribute superbly with both bat and ball.
On the bowling front, the trio of Sandeep Lamichhane, Kagiso Rabada and Harshal Patel who were the valiant contributors in the last game will once again be the bowlers to rely upon.
