Punjab's impressive win against Bangalore on Tuesday has kept the door open for them. Their chances at the moment seem more mathematical than realistic.
In the past too, KXIP have been on the cusp of making it to the playoffs, but stumbled at the final hurdle. This time, too, they need to win their last two games and pray that the results of the other matches go their way and they can sneak in on net run-rate.
Luckily for KXIP, first up is Delhi Daredevils who have lost all their six away games and are on the penultimate spot with just three wins from 14 games.
With DD's morale pretty low, it is a golden opportunity for the home team to go for the jugular and enhance their prospects. The conditions here are ideal for cricket with the temperature in mid 20s, a sporting, bouncy pitch and fast outfield.
