Punjab Kings were not up to the mark in IPL 2023 as they failed in claiming the trophy. They will hope things improve now.
Looking at their squad they have the players who can trouble and will have to execute game plans.
Coach Trevor Bayliss and captain Shikhar Dhawan will look forward to be tactical. They must bat the overs and bowl teams out.
On the other hand, Delhi Capitals too had a dismal showing in last year’s tournament and will be looking forward to a new start
Teamwise they have the capabilities needed for a team to rise to the occasion and clinch title, just need to deliver.
While captain Rishabh Pant and coach Ricky Ponting will aim for the side battling it hard for 20 overs in both ways.
As for the deck, it is a new wicket and as typical with Indian wickets will aid spin bowling and batsman too having something for them.
