As far as Punjab Kings are concerned, Nicholas Pooran has failed to make an impact in the opening games of IPL 2021 so far. Their million-dollar babies, Riley Meredith and Jhye Richardson have also leaked a lot of runs in the opening games of the tournament and we might see some changes in the Punjab Kings playing against Delhi.

Delhi Capitals (Playing XI): Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Steve Smith, Rishabh Pant, Marcus Stoinis, Chris Woakes, Lalit Yadav, R Ashwin, Kagiso Rabada, Avesh Khan, Lukma Meriwala

Punjab Kings (Playing XI): KL Rahul(w/c), Mayank Agarwal, Chris Gayle, Deepak Hooda, Nicholas Pooran, Shahrukh Khan, Jhye Richardson, Jalaj Saxena, Mohammed Shami, Riley Meredith, Arshdeep Singh

Delhi Capitals Absolute Favourites To Win The Tie

Delhi Capitals will be the favourites to win this game when they take to the field against Punjab on Sunday. They are certainly a more balanced side than Punjab going into match 11 of IPL 2021. A lot will once again depend on the toss as the last two games in Wankhede have seen low-scoring ties.

Teams winning the toss will like to field first as due will once again be a very important factor in the second innings. Steve Smith will be seen playing his maiden IPL 2021 game for DC tonight.
