IPL 2019 KXIP vs DC Preview: Can Ashwin's Punjab break Delhi's team spirit?
In match 13 of VIVO Indian Premier League 2019 (IPL 2019), Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) will host Delhi Capitals (DC) at the PCA IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali on Monday. The clash will be interesting as both DC and KXIP won their previous IPL 2019 matches against KKR and MI and are high on confidence. K L Rahul's 71 runs off 57 balls proved instrumental for Punjab's victory and marked the return of his form. Chris Gayle has found his rhythm and his teammate Mayank Agarwal has been attacking almost every other ball. Ashwin has been shuffling his bowling department and it looks likely that he would again bring a change or two in playing 11.
For Delhi, things have started to fall in places after their second match defeat against MS Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings.
Shreyas Iyer-led DC is high on confidence after they triumphed in the super over thriller against Kolkata Knight Riders on Saturday night.
Punjab may again eye home ground advantage but Delhi will be a different challenge.
