The Indian Premier League 2019 has seen everything in just one week. There were several nail-biting matches, hundreds, controversy and super over. Delhi Capitals and Kings XI Punjab have been through the thick and thin of the moments. Both teams will face each other on Monday and will try to keep their winning momentum alive in the tournament. In Saturday’s double-header, Delhi and Punjab won their respective game and strengthen their position on the points table.

KXIP played their last game against Mumbai Indians and won the game by eight wickets. They reduced Mumbai’s experience batting lineup for 176 and chased the target down with help from KL Rahul, Chris Gayle and Mayank Agarwal.
They might field with the same playing XI in the next game against Delhi as well. Their bowling lineup clicked at the right time and didn’t leak too many runs at the death overs.
Probable XI: Chris Gayle, KL Rahul (WK), Mayank Agarwal, David Miller, Sarfaraz Khan, Mandeep Singh, Hardus Viljeon, Ravichandran Ashwin (C), Murugan Ashwin, Andrew Tye, Mohammed Shami.
Delhi Capitals

Delhi played the most-thrilling game of the season against Kolkata Knight Riders on Saturday night. They match tied and both teams played the super-over. In the end, Delhi held their nerve to finish the game with two points while KKR faced their first defeat of the season. Delhi was chasing the big target of 186 but they fail one run short and levelled the score. It was Kagiso Rabada’s exceptional bowling which turned the match in Delhi’s favour.
There is a lesser probability of Delhi chopping and changing from this playing eleven. However, they can try to bring in Rahul Tewatia in place of Amit Mishra. Rest of the lineup is expected to remain same.
Probable XI: Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer (C), Rishab Pant (WK), Colin Ingram, Hanuma Vihari, Harshal Patel, Chris Morris, Sandeep Lamichhane, Kagiso Rabada, Amit Mishra.
