Punjab Kings will play Delhi Capitals in a must-win game. Punjab's chances of reaching the playoffs are grim, however, if they can win their remaining two games with big margins, they have an outside chance.
Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals have been knocked out of the tournament. With nothing to lose, Delhi will be looking to play aggressive cricket and spoil the party for a couple of teams.
The match will be played in Dharamshala. The wicket is a good one to bat and the ball will travel a long distance due to high altitude. Spinners won't get much help and pacers need to get early wickets to restrict the teams from posting big scores.
There weather will be cloudy and players will get respite from the scorching heat in the beautiful hill station. There is a 20 per cent chance of rain but it doesn't look threatening enough to wash out the game.

David Warner (C), Prithvi Shaw, Phil Salt, Mitchell Marsh, Rilee Rossouw, Manish Pandey, Axar Patel, Praveen Dubey, Kuldeep Yadav, Ishant Sharma, Mukesh Kumar
With Delhi already out of the competition, there may be a few changes in the team. Prithvi Shaw can get a game. PBKS, they are likely to stick with the same team. Maybe Rabada can come in due to the extra pace in the wicket.
It has been a close fight between two teams in IPL. PBKS have won 16 matches while DC have won 15 matches against each other.

All-rounders | Mitchell Marsh, Axar Patel (VC), Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, Sikandar Raza |
Bowlers | Arshdeep Singh, Ishant Sharma |
Prabhsimran Singh scored a brilliant century for PBKS in the last game. He has been very consistent for the team and has scored 334 runs in 12 matches. Another good inning will be expected of him.
Dhawan will be a key player for Punjab. It will be a high-pressure game and Dhawan knows well how to handle the pressure of must-win the game. The southpaw has been in good form as well, with 356 runs in nine matches.
Arshdeep can cause plenty of trouble to the DC batters. There will be some swing on offer in Dharmshala and Arshdeep is one of the most lethal bowlers when there is some help on offer from the pitch.
Axar Patel can be proud of what he has done in IPL 2023. He scored runs for the team, took wickets when the team needed him to, bowled cheap overs and took some brilliant catches. However, he didn’t get support from the other end.
Ishant Sharma is likely to do well in the game. He is tall and will get extra bounce on the Dharmshala surface, causing plenty of trouble to the PBKS batters.
