The second match of the Tata Indian Premier League 2024 will feature the Delhi Capitals, led by Rishabh Pant, against the Punjab Kings, led by Shikhar Dhawan. Scheduled for March 23 at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, Chandigarh, this match marks Rishabh Pant’s return to the ground after recovering from a near-fatal accident in December 2022. Both teams have not claimed an IPL trophy since 2008, with a head-to-head record of 16 wins each in their 32 past encounters.
The pitch report indicates that the stadium, hosting an IPL match for the first time, tends to favor slower pitches. Clear skies are expected during the match. Scheduled for 3:30 pm (IST) on March 23, the match will be broadcast on the Star Sports Network in India. Live streaming will be available on the JioCinema app and website.
The squads for the Punjab Kings include Shikhar Dhawan (Captain), Matthew Short, Prabhsimran Singh, Jitesh Sharma, and a lineup of talented players such as Jonny Bairstow, Sam Curran, Kagiso Rabada, and Chris Woakes. Meanwhile, the Delhi Capitals feature Rishabh Pant, Liam Livingstone, Nathan Ellis, and Harshal Patel, among others. Fans eagerly await this match to kick off their IPL 2024 season.
