Delhi Daredevils v Kings XI Punjab - IPL 5 - Toss Report
Tuesday, May 15: Kings XI Punjab have won the toss and elected to bat first against hosts Delhi Daredevils in the 64th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) about to begin at Feroz Shah Kotla, Delhi.
Sitting at third spot from the bottom, Kings XI Punjab need this win desperately to better their ranking on the points table, if they want to be among the top four teams to reach the playoffs of the lucrative league.
They will again be without regular skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Adam-Gilchrist-c918, who is still nursing a hamstring injury. Nonetheless, the team has shown colour and have done well even without the former Aussie wicketkeeper.
On the other hand, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Delhi-c780 have had a stupendous tournament and are sitting comfortably at the number-one spot, after nine wins from 13 games. A win today, will just improve their position otherwise they have nothing to lose.
Pitch Report:
The wicket at Feroz Shah Kotla will be difficult to bat, the batsmen will need to get their eye in before going after the bowlers as their will be bounce for the bowlers to take advantage of. Chasing might not be good idea if the total is around 170 runs.
