KXIP vs DC Dream11 Team Prediction, Preview and Head to Head 38th Match IPL, 18th October 2020

KXIP vs DC Dream11 team prediction: Pre Info:

A rejuvenated Kings XI Punjab will welcome Delhi Capitals in the 38^th game of the season. The tournament has moved to its business end and every game is extremely crucial from here on. Kings XI Punjab has an extremely disappointing start of the season after losing six of their first seven games. However, the team has bounced back and defeated an in-form Mumbai Indians in a double super over thriller victory following up on their win over Royal Challengers Bangalore. The team has suddenly started looking much more balanced after and the inclusion of Chris Gayle has done wonders for the team. The team has won three games of their nine and need to win all the remaining games if they want to secure a place in playoffs without any hindrances. Any defeat will leave their fate in the hands of other teams and Punjab would like to avoid any such scenario. The top four of KXIP are extremely potent and can destroy any bowling attack. The presence of Maxwell and Pooran in the middle order makes them even more dangerous at least on the paper. The side would like to cause another upset by defeating Delhi Capitals.

On the other hand, Delhi Capitals have been the team in form this season. The side has won all but two of their matches. The side looks extremely balanced with both batting and bowling playing to their potential. The only real issue for them has been their injury status. Ishant Sharma and Amit Mishra have already left the squad. Recent injury to Rishabh Pant saw him miss a couple of matches whereas Shreyas Iyer is also not fuly fit. The side won a thriller against Chennai Super Kings in their last game and Shikhar Dhawan scored a scintillating century whereas Akshar Patel proved him attacking prowess. The form of Prithvi Shaw looks a concern. The teams should play a cracker of a game.
