PBKS vs DC Match Preview

In the second game of Sunday’s doubleheader, Punjab Kings take on Delhi Capitals in Match 29 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

Both the teams have played 7 games till now, out of which, Punjab Kings have won 3 games while Delhi Capitals have won 5 games.

Punjab Kings is currently placed at the fifth spot in the points table with three victories out of seven games. The team won their previous game against Royal Challengers Bangalore and must be looking to continue their good form. 

However, there are some concerns in the squad, especially with Nicholas Pooran’s form in the middle-order. The West Indian is facing a tough phase of his career. After the last game, now he has four ducks in IPL 2021.

Here it is worth mentioning that the number one batsman of T20I, David Malan is currently warming the bench and has not got an opportunity yet. We can see him replacing Pooran in this match, however, nothing is confirmed yet. 

Talking about Delhi Capitals, this team is currently placed at second place in the points table with five wins in the seven games they have played so far. They beat Kolkata Knight Riders in their previous match, which was a more one-sided clash. 

Delhi Capitals are currently in brilliant form. Shikhar Dhawan is in terrific form, whereas Rishabh Pant and Prithvi Shaw are also batting well. Avesh Khan has been their best wicket-taker, whereas the rest of the bowlers are also bowling well. Bar any injury, Delhi Capitals won’t make any change to their line-up from the victory over KKR.

Coming to a head-to-head record, Punjab Kings hold the edge with 15 wins from 27 meetings with Delhi Capitals. However, PBKS will be looking to avenge the previous match loss against DC, who trumped them in a high-scoring thriller by 6 wickets.

Although both teams look very evenly matched on paper, the Capitals have the edge, given their top-heavy batting unit. With both sides looking for two points, we are in for a riveting IPL 2021 contest in Ahmedabad. 

Here are the match details, pitch report, probable playing 11, squads and Dream11 fantasy team predictions for Match 29 of the 14th edition of Indian Premier League (IPL 2021) between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals on Sunday, May 2, 2021.
