It will be a winner takes all match when Delhi Daredevils take on Kings XI Punjab in a critical IPL clash between two sides separated by barely 200
odd miles in the cricket crazy nation of India. Both these sides come into this
clash with different run of form and a upset might just be on the cards when Delhi
Daredevils host Kings XI Punjab at the Feroz Shah Kotla stadium in New
Delhi.

Delhi Daredevils come into this clash on the back of some rather indifferent
form that has seen them lost their last four matches on the trot. While the
likes of Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir lead the run charts with Glenn Mcgrath miserly as ever, Delhi should be much higher in the table but a
complete lack of team effort in recent matches sees them cramped for comfort
coming into this all important clash against Kings XI Punjab. To be fair, Delhi
haven't had the rub of the green going their way with some close matches going
against them, with the loss against Chennai coming up in short notice to one's
memory but there will be no excuses entertained if they fail to reach the semifinals
after such a bright start. On the positive side, spinner Amit Mishra and Maharoof
have come good in recent matches and with skipper Virender Sehwag due a big
performance, expect a vibrant and aggressive Delhi Daredevils take the field
against an inform Kings XI outfit.
Along with Rajasthan Royals, the Kings XI Punjab outfit have impressed everyone
around and lend a general sense of aura about them. Much of their purchases
have been brilliantly planned out with Shawn Marsh arguably being the buy of
the tournament. The Burly Australian has been fabulous in the IPL so far with
an average of nearly hundred and the ease with which he ripped apart the Bangalore Royal Challengers outfit will keep the Delhi Daredevils side worried for
this clash. Kings XI Punjab will also have the luxury of picking Kumara Sangakkara
for this clash as the Sri Lankan international is back after an injury as he
joins an already strong batting line up of James Hopes, Shawn Marsh, Yuvraj
Singh, Mahela Jayawardena and Irfan Pathan. Despite being surrounded by a galore
of superb international cricket superstars, the likes of Irfan Pathan and Piyush
Chawla have maintained their composure for most of the matches and they have
been as much a part of Kings XI success as some of the biggest foreign names.
Victory here will probably see the Kings XI Punjab outfit move into the IPL
semifinals and that is what they will be aspiring for when they take on a desperate
Delhi Daredevils outfit this coming Saturday 17th of March in the Indian Premier
League.
