DEL vs SAU Dream11 Team Prediction : Delhi Vs Sauharastra Group E Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2019-20 Round 1 Dream 11 Team For Today's Match

DEL Vs PUN Dream 11 Team Prediction: Top of the table Punjab’s rampant run makes for a formidable challenge for Delhi today.

When Elite Group B of the Vijay Trophy was crafted out, Delhi were expected to be the dominant sides after their rousing run in the 2018 edition of the premier tournamnet. However the side form the capital have been upstaged by Punjab, a team who currently find themselves touching the pinnacles of the points tally with 18 points at the halfway mark.

Losing just the one match till now out of the six clashes they have contested in, Punjab have unequivocally been the side to watch out for in the group. It’s not just been the wins but the overwhelming manner they have come about in for the side with the team imbedding in place impeccable and sensational displays, quirky performance brought to birth by their myriad performers.

Playing against Uttar Pradesh in the previous clash, the side swept their way to massive 59 run win, one that saw them mince out and lambast Uttar Pradesh’s run chase. Scoring 204 while batting first in a match marred by rain, Punjab ended up halting the opposition for just 141, a bowling performance which rattled Uttar Pradesh to leave them flummoxed and flabbergasted.

Elsewhere, Delhi find themselves in fifth place with the side failing to emulate the same colossal performances as last season. It’s been an inconsistent outing in the tournamnet for them till now, one which leaves them with two wins and two defeats apiece with the side being put down by Vidharbha who chased down Delhi’s 207 with 10 balls and 5 wickets to spare. 

Today’s clash is one which has the potential of being a real humdinger given the massive identity of these two sides. While Punjab will be looking to hammer down first place in their favour, a win for Delhi would see them move right next to Punjab and climb as high as second place, a set of events which are set to buoy the side ahead of this impending clash.

Pitch Conditions And Toss

With no team having crossed the 250 run mark in the 9 contests played on this surface till now, the figure is a testament to how treacherous this wicket has played out for the batsmen. Spinners thrive over here immensely, getting the ball to rip and grip off the surface to leave batsmen in a cumbersome peril. 

Not much to choose from when it comes to deciding on what to do after winning the toss but with 5 wins for the team chasing as opposed to the 4 for the side batting first, the side winning the toss will be looking to field over here.
