Abu Dhabi: Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) have been demoralized by a win against Mumbai Indians (MI). However, the path for Punjab today will not be easy as it has to compete with Delhi Capitals running at the top of the point table. The Kings XI team has managed to achieve results in the last two games after losing two very close matches in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020.

The death-overs bowling is a concern of Glenn Maxwell's poor form and weak middle order who will have to win the remaining five of his matches to make it to the play-offs. Even after the presence of opening batsman Rahul (525) and Mayank Agarwal (393), the top two scorers of the tournament, the team has struggled to win. Chris Gayle's successful comeback, however, has reduced the pressure on the openers, especially Rahul can now play his normal game.

Nicholas Pooran has shown what he has the power to do, but he has not yet played the team's winning innings. The pressure on Maxwell as a batsman is increasing, but he is proving to be an effective spinner. The team is likely to remain intact with Maxwell against the Delhi Capitals.
