Crucial Phase for PBKS

Skipper Shikhar Dhawan won’t mind giving an over to the lethal speedster Kagiso Rabada. The wicket of Rilee Rossouw would be quite pivotal as the stage is set for him to go berserk from ball one against an inexperienced bowling lineup.

DC on the other hand needs to post a target in excess of 180 as there are chances that dew would come into action later in the match. The destructive batter Prithvi Shaw would be aiming to make the most of the start and silence all the critics.
