DC Team News & Playing 11
DC Team News
Lalit Yadav came into Delhi Capitals’ XI for their last game against Chennai Super Kings and we expect him to retain his place in the side. Skipper David Warner began the tournament in excellent form but has not produced big scores recently. However, his place is not under threat.
DC Key Players
- Phil Salt - The right-handed keeper-batter has hit over 150 runs from his last four innings in the tournament. He is an attacking player from ball one in this format.
- Axar Patel - The all-rounder has been very effective with both bat and ball this season. He hit 21 runs and took 2-27 in the last match.
- Mitchell Marsh - The Australian all-rounder has made some big scores with the bat but is in excellent form with the ball after taking nine wickets from his last three games.
DC Possible Impact Player Substitutes
Mukesh Kumar, Chetan Sakariya, Abishek Porel, Khaleel Ahmed
Left-arm pace bowler Khaleel Ahmed has gone wicketless in only one match this season and we expect him to be in the team during the fielding innings. Abishek Porel can come in as a replacement keeper-batter or purely with the bat.
DC Team Form
After winning four of their previous five games, Delhi Capitals found themselves back to losing ways against Chennai Super Kings on Wednesday.

PBKS Team News & Playing 11
PBKS Team News
It was a last ball defeat for Punjab Kings against Kolkata Knight Riders on Monday with Arshdeep Singh bowling a brilliant final over which almost took them from near certain defeat to a win. As a result, we do not expect many if any changes in this match.
PBKS Key Players
- Shikhar Dhawan - The left-handed batter hit nine fours and one six against Kolkata Knight Riders and has been batting in a more attacking manner this season.
- Liam Livingstone - The English aggressive batting all-rounder has impressed since recovering from his injury. However he made only 15 runs in the last game and will want to make a bigger contribution in this match.
- Nathan Ellis - The Australian bowler has found his chances limited for Punjab Kings this season but whenever he has been called upon he has been very accurate and picked up key wickets.
PBKS Possible Impact Player Substitutes
Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Sikandar Raza, Atharva Taide, Mohit Rathee, Matthew Short
With only three overseas players in their XI, we could well see Sri Lankan big hitter Bhanuka Rajapaksa used in the batting innings. Sikandar Raza is an excellent spinner as well as a strong batter in the middle order.
PBKS Team Form
With only one win from their last four matches, Punjab Kings have lost three of their last four games in IPL 2023.
PBKS Predicted Playing 11
Prabhsimran Singh, Shikhar Dhawan (c), Liam Livingstone, Jitesh Sharma, Sam Curran, Rishi Dhawan, M Shahrukh Khan, Harpreet Brar, Nathan Ellis, Rahul Chahar, Arshdeep Singh
DC vs PBKS Head to Head
