Preview
As the second half of the Indian T20 League begins, we will witness the famous North Indian derby. Delhi is coming into this match, after being in a slightly better position than Punjab. The Rishabh Pant-led team has won five matches so far in this tournament, having played seven games, the last of which was a win against Kolkata.
Punjab, on the other hand, is coming into this match after a win against Bangalore. They won the match quite impressively at the Motera stadium only. That was their third win in this tournament from the seven matches which they have played. This should be an interesting clash, considering how the league stands right now.
