TEAM NEWS
Punjab Kings: The side possesses a powerful batting line-up consisting the likes of Jonny Bairstow, Liam Livingstone, Shikhar Dhawan, Bhanuka Rajapaksa and Mayank Agarwal. What would please them the most is Bairstow’s recent form (66 off 29). While their Kagiso Rabada is the highest wicket-taker among pacers in IPL 2022, Arshdeep Singh has been a gem. However, the side must be expecting a better performance from spinner Rahul Chahar, who has leaked runs this season.
Delhi Capitals: While David Warner continues his red-hot form, DC are yet to find his partner as both Srikar Bharat and Mandeep Singh, who have opened the innings in absence of Prithvi Shaw, have failed to impress. Meanwhile, Shaw has been discharged from hospital but it is unknown if he is match-fit. Among the positives, DC would be happy with the all-round performance of Mitchell Marsh in the preceding game against Rajasthan Royals. Rishabh Pant and Rovman Powell’s roles are also going to be crucial for the side. On the bowling front, Shardul Thakur continues to be the weak link of DC attack, while Chetan Sakariya will be confident due to his recent performance (2/23).
