At one stage, they were reeling at 29/5 but managed to post a respectable total in the end. SRH did not get the chance to bat due to rain and a wet outfield.

Expert Match Prediction – Who Will Win Today’s IPL Match?

• If PBKS bat first, they are likely to post a 180-plus total. They scored 236 runs in their last game at the same venue and will be confident of scoring big again. They also have enough firepower in their bowling lineup to defend a good total.
• If DC bat first, they are likely to post around 170-180. DC's batting has looked fragile in recent games and they will have to come up with something special to post a big total. Their bowling has not looked up to the mark either and unless they post a big total, their bowlers are unlikely to defend the total.

Considering the current form of both teams, PBKS will be the favourites to win the upcoming game against DC.
