IPL 2017: Delhi Daredevils v Kings XI Punjab, 5 factors of winning

#2 With the Ball

Zaheer is wily with the ball and wicked as the skipper!

Delhi Daredevils have the better bowling attack of the two teams. While Punjab rely heavily on a string of Indian bowlers – Ishant, Sandeep Sharma, Mohit Patel and Axar Patel – Delhi have an excellent mix. They have the experience of the left-armer Zaheer Khan and the pace of Pat Cummins. They have the left-arm spinner Shahbaz Nadeem complementing the leg-spin of Amit Mishra. Chris Morris completes the attack but they also have the all-rounder Corey Anderson if one of the bowlers has an off-day.

Punjab will hope their prized asset, T Natarajan lives up to his promise and Varun Aaron as well, who did excellently against RCB with a spell of 2-21 in 4 overs. Aaron can be fast but unpredictable and one would hope that Maxwell knows how to handle him effectively.
