PBKS vs DC Head to Head, Playing XI, Preview, Where to Watch on TV, Online, and Live Streaming Details

The Punjab Kings will be locking horns with the Delhi Capitals in Match 64 of IPL 2022 at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai on May 16. Both teams will not only be coming into this clash having won their respective previous encounter but also would also be looking to give a new lease of life to their playoff hopes by continuing their winning momentum.

Both Punjab and Delhi, who looked down and out at one point in time, have suddenly made their arrival in the playoff race in style with emphatic 54-run and eight-wicket victories over the Royal Challengers Bangalore and Rajasthan Royals respectively. All that the two teams need to do is win their remaining fixtures and hope for other results to go their way.

It is to be noted that if both sides win their remaining two fixtures, then they will get to 16 points, which will do a world of good to their qualification scenario. However, only one of these teams will prevail in the northern derby, which would complicate the scenario for the vanquished side. The last time these two teams had locked horns, it was DC who came out on top by nine wickets.

Pitch and conditions

The DY Patil wicket is helpful for both pacers and spinners and the batters can make the most during the powerplay overs where they can score at a brisk rate. While all teams usually elect to bowl first after winning the toss considering the dew factor later on in the contest, there could be a change in strategy since the wicket is expected to slow down as the contest progresses.

Playing combinations for PBKS vs DC

Punjab Kings

Punjab Kings are not expected to make any changes to their playing XI. The onus would once again be on Liam Livingstone and Kagiso Rabada to come up with impactful performances with Punjab’s playoff spot hanging in the balance.

Predicted XI: Shikhar Dhawan, Jonny Bairstow, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Liam Livingstone, Mayank Agarwal (c) Jitesh Sharma (wk), Rishi Dhawan, Kagiso Rabada, Rahul Chahar, Harpreet Brar, Arshdeep Singh

Delhi Capitals

The Delhi Capitals will be relieved that young opener Prithvi Shaw has been discharged from the hospital after being admitted due to typhoid. However, he is expected to miss out on at least two games, which means that the team management will be sticking to the same XI for the northern derby.
