Analysis
Prabhsimran Singh put together one of the best hundreds in the IPL 2023 season in the previous fixture for Punjab Kings against Delhi Capitals, when other experienced batters in the team struggled on a tough pitch in Delhi. In their recent round of matches, the PBKS batting lineup has gotten decent totals on the board with contributions from the likes of captain Shikhar Dhawan, Liam Livingstone, and Jitesh Sharma, in particular. As far as the bowling attack for Punjab goes, Nathan Ellis, Harpreet Brar, and Rahul Chahar have been very impressive for the team in the last few games.
David Warner, the captain of Delhi Capitals, has been scoring runs at a high tempo in the last couple of games, but he has lacked support from other experienced batters in the team. DC have tried various players in their middle order, including the likes of Riley Rossouw, Manish Pandey, and Sarfaraz Khan, but they all have struggled to be consistent scorers for the team. In their bowling department, Delhi have been reasonably decent with their performances as Ishant Sharma and Kuldeep Yadav, stepped up for the captain in tough situations.
