Venue | Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi |
Delhi Capitals has bounced back well to win four of the last six games, however, the defeats in the first five matches mean that they won't be able to reach the playoffs.
For Punjab Kings, with five wins in 11 matches, the chances of reaching the playoffs are low, however, if they can win all their remaining games and a few results go their way, there may be a surprise in store for them.
The Delhi wicket hasn’t been great for batters as it has been very hard to score against the spinners. The ball grips and turns and keeps low as well so batters have to be at the top of their game to score runs.
The weather will be clear and the temperature will rise to 42 degrees during the daytime. The evening temperature will be around the high 20s.
David Warner (c), Philip Salt (wk), Mitchell Marsh, Rilee Rossouw, Axar Patel, Aman Hakim Khan, Ripal Patel, Lalit Yadav, Kuldeep Yadav, Khaleel Ahmed, Ishant Sharma
Prabhsimran Singh, Shikhar Dhawan (c), Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Liam Livingstone, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Sam Curran, Shahrukh Khan, Harpreet Brar, Nathan Ellis, Rahul Chahar, Arshdeep Singh
Delhi would want to play Mustafizur Rahman but with Salt and Rossouw doing well and Warner being the captain, they should play the same team. Punjab can bring in Nathan Ellis in place of Rishi Dhawan in the playing XI.
There is not a lot to choose between these two teams in terms of overall head-to-head as both have won 15 games each.

Bowlers | Kuldeep Yadav, Rahul Chahar, Nathan Ellis |
Shikhar Dhawan will be a key player as always for Punjab Kings. The PBKS skipper has batted well, scoring 348 runs in 8 matches at an average of 58.
Jitesh Sharma has played many cameos for PBKS and the team might promote him up in the order. Sharma, given the kind of form he is in, can play a match-winning knock for PBKS.
Spinners have done well in the tournament and PBKS will look up to Rahul Chahar for a good performance in the coming game.
Phil Salt has looked solid at the top for Delhi, playing a couple of fiery knocks, including a match winning half century against RCB. He will be eyeing a few more good innings as this will help him get into the reckoning for next year's IPL as well.
Mitchell Marsh has scored runs with the bat and got wickets with the ball. He is a valuable cricketer and one of the top choices for fantasy players.
