Indian Premier League 2024: Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals: Odds, Match Prediction, Win Possibility, and More

Match Details

Match Preview

In the second clash of the 17th edition of the Indian Premier League, Punjab Kings will host Delhi Capitals at their new home on March 23. The game will be played at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Chandigarh at 3:30 pm. Another exciting season of the Indian Premier League began with reigning champions Chennai Super Kings clashing against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The high-octane clash was preceded by a star-studded ceremony that declared the IPL 2024 open. 

Toss Prediction

Punjab and Delhi have encountered a total of 32 times in the Indian Premier League. In their previous five fixtures, the Punjab skipper came on top in two tosses, and Delhi won the remaining three tosses. However, the forthcoming match will take place at Punjab’s home ground, Shikhar Dhawan is likely to emerge victorious over Delhi skipper Rishabh Pant. 

Win Possibility

The 2nd match of the Indian Premier League 2024 will be the 33rd occasion Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals will battle it out in the cash-rich league. The face-off record between both the sides is even with each side winning 16 games each. The last time the teams met each other, Delhi defeated their Punjabi counterparts by 25 runs. In the latest season of the tournament, Punjab will take the field to avenge their past defeat and start their campaign on a winning note. 

While Punjab have a well-balanced side, the Indian players lack experience. However, the youngsters have shown promise in glimpses in the past season of the tournament. Delhi’s squad on the other hand will see the return of Rishabh Pant; however, his absence for the past year will have an impact on the performance, as he is expected to take some time to regain the lost form. 

Considering it, we think Punjab are likely to begin their campaign on a winning note and hand over a defeat to Delhi in their first match. 

Predicted Powerplay Score and Average First Inning Score

Punjab Kings will play their home matches at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Chandigarh. The stadium has hosted only domestic matches and the upcoming match will be the international fixture it will host. The venue has hosted low-scoring Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy matches and has an average first-innings total of 148. 

Depending on this, we think the first-inning score of the second IPL 2024 match is expected to be 165-170. The powerplay score in the upcoming game is likely to be around 55-60.
