Jos Buttler scored a brilliant hundred against Kolkata Knight Riders on this very ground in the last game. Apart from Jos Buttler, Shreyas Iyer and Aaron Finch also played with ease on this track. It is interesting that two centuries have been scored at this venue in the last two games. Before Buttler, KL Rahul smashed a century against Mumbai Indians on this ground.

This is a night game, and the dew will play a major part in this game. Both teams would want to bowl first after winning the toss here in the game between Delhi and Punjab.
