19:02 IPL: Can Kings XI halt Delhi Capitals' charge?
The nail-biting win over defending champions Mumbai Indians was certainly a morale-lifter but the inconsistent Kings XI Punjab have another tough battle at hand when they take on table toppers Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League, in Dubai, tonight.
Having lost two tight games they should have won at the start of the season, Kings XI have managed to get on the right side of the results in the last couple of games, although it was too close for comfort by their own admission.
The bowling in the death overs and the form of Australian star batsman Glenn Maxwell in a shaky middle-order remain a concern for a team that needs to win its remaining five games to stay in the hunt for the play-offs.
Delhi are clearly the team to beat in the tournament and have gained in confidence with a close win against Chennai Super Kings on Saturday night.
With an envious bowling line-up, Delhi have shown they can defend even below-par totals. Playing in the absence of an injured Rishabh Pant, time is running out for Ajinkya Rahane to make an impact.
