On the second day of the IPL 2024 season there are two matches.

In the first match, Punjab Kings is taking on Delhi Capitals in the second match of IPL 2024 at the new stadium in Mullanpur at 3:30 pm IST 🏏🔴🔵

Both teams will be eyeing a winning start to their campaign.

Today also marks the much-awaited comeback of DC captain Rishabh Pant 15 months after his horrific car accident. 

Shikhar Dhawan will lead the team of Punjab. Dhawan has also been away from cricket. He was last seen on May 19, 2023, when Punjab took on Rajasthan Royals (RR) in an IPL match.

PBKS lost that match and ended IPL 2023 at number 8 on the points table. Delhi, without Pant, had an uneventful IPL that year as well. They finished at the second-last position on the points table.

Delhi and Punjab are known for their IPL rivalry. They have played 32 matches against each other so far. The records are uncannily identical as both have won 16 matches each. Delhi’s highest score against PBKS is 231 and the lowest is 67.

Punjab’s highest score against DC is 202 and the lowest is 104. Delhi have won four out of the last five IPL matches against Punjab.

As per Google’s win probability, there is a 53% chance that Delhi will beat PBKS in the opening match and start the tournament on a high note.

Let's see who clinches a victory today, will it be Punjab or Delhi?
