Delhi Capitals clash with Punjab Kings in a crucial North India IPL Derby clash at the DY Patil Stadium here on Monday with the stakes stacked high. With both teams on 12 points with two games in hand, the winners of the 64th round robin match out of the scheduled 70 this season will enhance their play-off chances considerably while the losers will have their hopes dashed.

Delhi are above Punjab on the table due to their marginally superior run-rate of plus 0.210 as compared to their rivals’ plus 0.023. The return match of the season also offers Punjab the chance to avenge their heavy nine-wicket defeat against Delhi in their earlier clash on April 20 at the Brabourne Stadium.
