Hello and Welcome to our preview for Kings XI Punjab vs Delhi Daredevils 2nd match of IPL 2018. We are covering Punjab vs Delhi Dream11 Team Prediction, Preview and Probable Playing XI. The first match is to be played at Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium, Mohali. Aaron Finch and Glenn Maxwell both miss the match.
Two of the most inconsistent teams of the IPL, historically, will face off against each other in the second game of the season. Both sides have undergone massive overhauls, with the appointment of new captains.
While Gautam Gambhir makes a return to Delhi, Ravichandran Ashwin will be leading a team for the first time in the tournament. There is a good mix of experienced international veterans and younger stars in each team.
The hosts narrowly edge out the visitors in the head-to-head, having won 11 out of the 20 matches played between the two. In the absence of Aaron Finch and Glenn Maxwell, Delhi would be looking to tilt the scales in their favour in Mohali.
