Capitals of Delhi
DC has looked for a class of its own at IPL 2020. They have all the boxes checked: top order is scoring runs, middle order is contributing when needed, fast players are choosing terrains, and spinners are restrictive. It is not surprising then that, with such a balance, they have won 7 of the 9 matches so far in the tournament. Shikhar Dhawan has transformed from hoarder to aggressor and has excelled in the last three games. Shreyas Iyer has also scored more than 300 runs, Prithvi Shaw has provided the fiery starts, while Stoinis and Axar Patel have been excellent as finalists. The only concern, if you can call it that, is Rishabh Pant’s form, which hasn’t been at its destructive best in competition. He has a hit rate of just 133.33, which is well below his career hit rate in IPL.
Kagiso Rabada is the tournament’s top scorer with 19 pitches from 9 matches at an economy rate of 7.68; he, as usual, has been brilliant for DC. Anrich Nortje has played with great pace and has also taken 12 wickets in the tournament, while Axar Patel, with an economy of 5.59, has been phenomenally restrictive.

Kings XI Punjab
Kings XI have won their last matches and, like DC, will bring some momentum to this meeting. KL Rahul has been in brilliant form: he has been the Man of the Match in the last two matches and is the leader in scoring runs at IPL 2020 with a whopping 525 runs in 9 matches. The biggest concern for KXIP will be the terrible form of the Australian hitting maverick Glenn Maxwell – he just added 58 runs in 8 innings with a strike rate of 92.06.
Mohammed Shami has been the choice of KXIP bowlers. The Indian sprinter has chosen 14 wickets in 9 matches and was phenomenal in the Super Over against the Mumbai Indians. Ravi Bishnoi has also been very impressive with 9 plots and an economy of just under 8.
