DEL vs PUN Prediction, 11Wickets Fantasy Cricket Tips: Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Update – Indian T20 League 2021, Match 11

Preview:

Both Delhi and Punjab will be disappointed at the manner in which they lost the last game despite getting a good start in their Indian T20 League 2021 campaign. Delhi started off with a win against Chennai and they dominated Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s men in that match.

But in their next game, they suffered a defeat against Rajasthan, thanks to a match-winning knock from mega-money signing Chris Morris. Punjab, on the other hand, defeated Rajasthan in their first match, but failed to turn up in their second game against Chennai. Both sides will be eager for a turnaround.

Top Picks for DEL vs PUN 11Wickets Match:

Shikhar Dhawan had a fantastic start to his Indian T20 League 2021 campaign, as he smashed 85 runs against Chennai. He will be aiming to have a similar influence today.

Chris Gayle too played well in his first game, as he scored 40 runs against the Rajasthani bowling unit. He will be aiming to register his first half-century of the season.

KL Rahul played a remarkable knock of 91 runs in the first game, but was run out in the last game right at the beginning. The Punjab skipper will be a good captaincy pick.
