Kings X1 http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Punjab-c833 Vs. Delhi Daredevils: IPL 4 Preview
The confident Kings X1 Punjab (KXP) will take on the struggling Delhi Daredevils (DD) in the 26th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL), at the Feroz Shah Kotla stadium, Delhi in India. The match will be played on Saturday, 23rd April, and
the hosts will look to turn around their fortunes in the tournament.
Things haven’t been good for Delhi at home though, as they were defeated by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820 Indians (MI) and Deccan Chargers (DC) at the Feroz Shah Kotla, earlier in the tournament. They are currently at the bottom of the IPL table with just one victory in four games.
The home team is led by flamboyant Indian batsman http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Virender-Sehwag-c95429, who has been unable to fire until now in the cash rich event. The explosive right-handed opener has been suffering from a shoulder problem, which may have affected his performance in the
tournament. His performance holds the key for the hosts, as it will give them a huge confidence boost.
Sehwag is partnered by Australian David Warner at the top of the order and both batsmen can be deadly for the opposition once they get going. They were deemed to be one of the best opening pairs in the tournament, but have been unable to live up to those
expectations until now.
There are also some other very talented batsmen in the DD side, but they too have struggled to be consistent. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Naman-Ojha-c2057 have looked good in patches, but will be required to come up
with a special effort to overcome the opposition.
On the other hand, former Australian wicketkeeper batsman http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757.
One common thing between both captains in this match is their aggressive nature. However, the Australian has been able to use his abilities to full affect, winning three matches out of the four played until now in the tournament.
The main force behind the visitors impressive start has been their opener, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Paul-Valthaty-c2170, who is the leading run scorer in the tournament so far. He has been able to attack the opposition with effortless ease and also scored a brilliant century in a match
against the defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK), who are led by Indian captain http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MS-Dhoni-c2028.
Shaun Marsh has also been a consistent performer for his team and has managed some useful runs at the top of the order. He was a relative unknown when he first appeared in the inaugural IPL in 2008, but stunned one and all with his brilliant batting. The
stylish left-hander ended-up being the top scorer in that tournament and has been a valuable player since then.
David Hussey, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Dinesh-c54134 Karthik are the other players who add to the strength of the KXP squad. They will look to continue doing well for their team and win against any opposition they face.
Both teams look strong on paper, but the momentum is definitely with the visitors at the moment. They will look to gain full advantage of that and exert maximum pressure on the home team.
