IPL Schedule 2016: Live Stream, TV Info, Time Table and Updated Cricket Fixtures

Delhi Daredevils and Kings XI Punjab are both looking for their first victory of the 2016 Indian Premier League as they face off together on Friday. 

Gujarat Lions won the battle of the new franchises against Rising Pune Supergiants on Thursday to move to the top of the standings with two wins from two.

However, with only six matches played so far in this year's tournament the table has yet to really take shape, and Delhi and Kings XI could put themselves firmly in the mix with a victory in the Indian capital.

Read on for a closer examination of Friday's clash in Delhi, as well as a schedule for the upcoming fixtures, and full live streaming and television information.

Delhi Daredevils vs. Kings XI Punjab  

Delhi made a terrible start to their IPL 9 campaign as they were thrashed by Kolkata Knight Riders in the second match of the tournament, losing by nine wickets having scored just 98 in their innings.

Though KXIP suffered a slightly less thumping defeat in their opener, they were still downed by five wickets by Gujarat.

Neither outfit has enjoyed much recent success in the IPL, with Kings XI finishing last in the league table last season having topped it the year before.

Delhi have not even got near a playoff spot since their table-topping 2012 season, finishing dead last in 2013 and 2014, and seventh last year.

Things need to change for both Kings XI and DD, and quickly, if they are to have a chance of reaching the knockout rounds this season.

Given their recent struggles it is unlikely that either side will be able to recover if they have a poor start to the 2016 tournament.

But one of them is going to have to pick themselves up from back-to-back opening losses following Friday's clash.

Delhi's batting lineup was brutally exposed against KKR as only four players reached double figures, Quinton de Kock top-scoring with 17.

They must improve massively against Kings XI—whose bowling unit includes the likes of Sandeep Sharma, Mitchell Johnson, Axar Patel and Mohit Sharma—and have the talent to do so.

De Kock is a fantastic opener, while Sanju Samson and Pawan Negi provide strength further down the order.

In Carlos Brathwaite they also have a man in form after he hit four sixes in the final over to win the World Twenty20 earlier this month for West Indies—although he failed against KKR, per Sky Sports Cricket:

Delhi's key batsmen have to make an impact against Kings XI as they are unlikely to prevail without a decent total.

Even though KXIP lost heavily to Gujarat, they still scored 161 from their 20 overs.

Murali Vijay and Manan Vohra contributed at the top of the order, while Wriddhiman Saha and Marcus Stoinis got some valuable runs toward the end of the innings.

Neither Glenn Maxwell nor captain David Miller—their two biggest hitters—fired against the Lions, and Delhi will have to keep the pair quiet again if they are to prevail on Friday.

Their bowling unit looks solid with captain Zaheer Khan, Nathan Counter-Nile, Chris Morris and Amit Mishra, but they will have to be at their best to stifle Kings XI's lineup.

Both KXIP and DD have quality players in their sides, but recent performances have not been up to scratch. They have the opportunity to show what they're made of in Delhi on Friday, and it should be a fascinating clash.
