- Total matches- 28
- Delhi won – 13
- Punjab won – 15
There will be heavy rain of fours and sixes on the field
Delhi Capitals have aggressive players like David Warner, Prithvi Shaw and skipper Rishabh Pant while Punjab have Shikhar Dhawan, in-form Liam Livingstone and Shah Rukh Khan. Punjab captain Mayank Agarwal has returned to the team after recovering from a thumb injury that did not play against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Delhi hopes from Rishabh Pant
The responsibility of the Capitals’ batting will once again be on the opening pair of David Warner and Prithvi Shaw. Both are in excellent form. However, captain Rishabh Pant has not been able to do anything special so far. He made a great start in the last match, but could not convert it into a big innings. Big innings will be expected from him. However, along with Lalit Yadav and Shardul, Akshar is also capable of contributing with the bat. All of them will have to face the stormy bowling of Kagiso Rabada. Apart from them, Vaibhav Arora, Arshdeep Singh and Rahul Chahar are also doing well. However, bowler all-rounder Odeon Smith will have to do justice to his talent.
Probable Playing XI of Punjab Kings: Mayank Agarwal (capt), Shikhar Dhawan, Bhanuka Rajapakse, Jonny Bairstow, Liam Livingstone, Shah Rukh Khan, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Arshdeep Singh, Kagiso Rabada, Rahul Chahar, Vaibhav Arora
Probable Playing XI of Delhi Capitals: David Warner, Prithvi Shaw, Rishabh Pant (c/w), Lalit Yadav, Sarfaraz Khan, Rovman Powell, Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Khaleel Ahmed, Anrich Nortje
pitch and weather
All the matches played at the Brabourne ground have been high scoring so far. Here the target of above 200 is also easily achieved. So, batting first or second won’t matter much. The temperature and humidity of around 33 degrees can cause problems.
