Analysis
The Delhi Capitals have been seemingly pushed back to square one after a massive loss against Chennai Super Kings. But before this defeat, the Capitals seemingly were playing their best cricket so far with Phillip Salt scoring loads of runs at an incredible rate along with a few top contributions by the likes of Rilee Rossouw and Mitchell Marsh. Whereas with the ball, Axar Patel continues his purple patch while Ishant Sharma, Kuldeep Yadav and Khaleel Ahmed put up decent performances.
On the other hand, the Punjab Kings have hit a sudden low as they have failed to defend 200+ totals in two back-to-back games. The King's batting has been scoring runs at a great clip but when a few wickets fall together, the batters tend to crumble under pressure. While the bowling needs major improvements with Sam Curran emerging as a big disappointment for Punjab.
