Dubai, Sep 20: Delhi Capitals and Kings XI Punjab face each other on Sunday (September 20) in the second encounter of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 at Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
Under the leadership of Shreyas Iyer, Capitals had reached the play-offs last season after a long gap, while the Kings XI were knocked out in the league phase itself after making a strong start. KXIP will be led by new captain KL Rahul in this league and would be looking for a change in their fate.
The fans are a big part of the T20 extravaganza, but that loud cheer and the festive occasion are missing but the players are going to give their best on the pitch.
The two teams have met each other 24 times and Punjab have an edge over Hyderabad. KXIP have won 14 games while SRH came out victorious on 10 occasions. Punjab look a balanced side and under the guidance of their new head coach Anil Kumble, they would be aiming to finish in the top four.
