IPL 2020 Match 38 - KXIP vs DC Fantasy Preview

On one side, is a team that hasn’t done anything right this IPL. We’re talking about Kings XI Punjab who at one point had 5 consecutive losses but they’ve managed to pull up their campaign ever so slightly now, and their morale would’ve got a massive boost since they’ve managed to beat Bangalore and Mumbai in consecutive games, now with 3 wins in 9 games, just above Chennai on the IPL 2020 points table.

On the other hand is Delhi Capitals, a team that seems to do nothing wrong in IPL 2020 so far. They’re sitting pretty at the top of the points table and have 7 wins in 9 games so far. No one will forget the dramatic turnaround the last time these two collided, ending in Delhi winning the super over.

Numbers

Head to head in last 5 IPL games, Punjab leads 3-2.
Glenn Maxwell – only 58 runs in 9 games in IPL 2020.
Shikhar Dhawan last 3 scores in IPL 2020 – 101*, 57, 69*.

Kings XI Punjab

Do not take Chris Gayle lightly as he seems to be a man with a motive and a plan in IPL 2020. After his opening game fifty, he got a 20-odd score in the next game but t was him who allowed them to get over the line in the second super over against Mumbai. Of course, KL Rahul can’t be ignored either since the KXIP captain has been in red hot form, leading the run scoring for the tournament with 5 fifties and a century so far.

Has the luck run out for Glenn Maxwell? He doesn’t look close to finding the middle of the bat but with many left-handers in the Delhi batting line-up, he may be given one last chance before being replaced by James Neesham. With the ball, I’m also a big fan of Ravi Bishnoi who took a whopping 17 wickets in 6 games in the U-19 final and has shown glimpses in IPL 2020 as well, with 9 scalps in 9 games here.

Delhi Capitals

After a horrid start to the season, Shikhar Dhawan is now rapidly risen to Delhi’s highest scorer of the campaign and we believe his run scoring will only continue in this game as well. From the overseas picks, Alex Carey will be axed since Rishabh Pant makes the team again, and Shimron Hetmyer will be back as well. Remember, he scored 40-odd in his last game and was looking in good touch that day.

Captain Shreyas Iyer is also a must pick in your Nostragamus (Get Rs.200 FREE) fantasy team as he’s been in great form right through, with a lowest score of 11 in 8 games in IPL 2020 so far, so a few fantasy points are guaranteed. With the ball, Delhi Capitals pacers have the most wickets in the death overs (24) and thus, both the South Africans should be picked – Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje.
