IPL 2018, DD vs KXIP: DD won the toss and chose to field

DD has won the toss and chose to field first.

Delhi Daredevils have been performing not very well this season. They have registered just one win off the four matches they have played. Also, they will be playing their first match at home ground. Whereas on the other hand, Kings XI Punjab have won four of the five matches they have played so far.

Head-to-head

Overall: Matches – 21, Kings XI Punjab won – 12, Delhi Daredevils won – 9. The head to head comparison presents a very competitive picture and the uncertainty of the game seems to be ever increasing.

The struggling Delhi Daredevils might make some changes in their bowling department. There is a possibility of bringing Mohammad Shami back.
