IPL 6: Match 32 - DD vs KXIP - A statistical preview
In the ten previous matches between the Delhi Daredevils and Kings XI Punjab, both teams have won five matches apiece.
Apart from the inaugural season when KXIP defeated DD in both the matches and the last season when DD won both their matches against KXIP, the two teams have shared spoils in the rest of the seasons.
Virender Sehwag’s strike-rate of 165.41 is the best among batsmen who have scored at least 100 runs in the IPL this season.
David Hussey is 55 runs short of becoming the third batsman to reach 5000 Twenty20 runs.
David Miller had an outstanding last summer in England‘s Friends Life T20 – scoring at a brisk strike-rate of 153 with an impressive average of 48.75!
Delhi’s Kotla pitch seems to favour batsmen as the average first innings total in IPL matches is 164. Even this season, we’ve seen teams batting first post more than 160 in three of the four matches played there.
What’s next in store for teams: The Delhi Daredevils head to Raipur, Chhattisgarh International Cricket Stadium for their next tie against Pune Warriors India on April 28.
Meanwhile Kings XI Punjab travel to Kolkata for the clash against the Kolkata Knight Riders on April 26.
