Mohali Pitch has good bounce and carry and it is known to aid batsmen. The batsmen will might it easier to score runs and average score in this pitch is around 170-180 runs. The batting becomes slightly easier in the second innings due to dew factor in night matches. Match day has bright sunny day climate with no chances of rain.
In this season only twice out of 10 times has the captain winning toss chose to bat first. And chasing teams have won 60% of the matches played so far. Both captains will look to chase down the target set by the opposition.
Both teams batsmen have been looking in good touch and are scoring runs consistently. But, KXIP depends on only 5 bowlers to complete their quota 5 overs. Delhi had an edge over Punjab in bowling and so we expect them to come out victorious.
