Preview:

Having defeated Mumbai in a cracker of a match recently, Punjab would be coming into this game, riding high on confidence. Their opponents too got a convincing victory over Chennai in their last match and would also have a lot of momentum on their hands. But, the only thing that separates these two teams is the fact that the overall performance of Delhi has been better than that of Punjab.

Delhi are placed at the top of the points table, with 7 wins to their name in the 9 matches that they have played in. Punjab, on the other hand, have risen from the bottom of the points table to the 6th spot thanks to their 3 wins that they managed to get in the 9 matches they have played so far. So, in this match, it would be interesting to see if Punjab are able to get past the might of team Delhi.
