Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals, DC Playing 11 vs PBKS (Predicted), IPL 2022, Match 64, PBKS vs DC. Punjab Kings will play against Delhi Capitals on 16th May 2022 at 7:30 pm in Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy, Mumbai, India in the 64th match of the ongoing IPL 2022. Delhi Capitals have defeated PBKS five times in the last seven games including one earlier this season.
DC opener David Warner has scored 427 runs for the Delhi Capitals in just 10 games, and he is winning games for the side. PBKS’ middle order has been inconsistent, and the side has paid a heavy price for its lack of consistency.
The 64th IPL 2022 game would see the Punjab Kings take on the Delhi Capitals in what is a very important game for both teams. They come having won their previous games. While Delhi Capitals defeated the Rajasthan Royals, the Punjab Kings came up with a brilliant performance against the Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Delhi Capitals registered an 8-wicket win against the Rajasthan Royals in the last game to move up to the 5th place on the points table. It was a good display with the bat from the side. They had defeated the Punjab Kings earlier in the season and shall take confidence from that. However, the side hasn’t won two consecutive games so far this year and they would look to avoid that here.
Srikar Bharat must do well in this game, and he has to support David Warner by opening the batting with David Warner looking in great touch. All-rounder Mitchell Marsh put his poor form behind him to play a match-winning knock against Rajasthan and this would add to his confidence. Rishabh Pant and Lalit Yadav add to the side’s strength in the middle order, and they have good hitters to follow in Axar Patel and Shardul Thakur.
Pacer Anrich Nortje must find his form and bowl well at the start of the game with Chetan Sakariya who comes here after a good show. Kuldeep Yadav has been consistent with his form and the side would expect him to trouble Punjab’s strong batting line-up. Mitchell Marsh, Axar Patel, and Shardul Thakur shall have important roles to play as their opponents have shown good form with the bat.
Opener Prithvi Shaw has missed the last three fixtures for Delhi Capitals. He is likely to be available for the next game for his side after recovering from typhoid which required hospitalization and kept him away from the squad as well. The right-hander had an excellent start to the season with 259 runs in nine games but had to miss out on the last three fixtures due to his illness.
