The Overview
Delhi Capitals: David Warner and Prithvi Shah provided valuable opening partnerships for the Delhi team, but the middle order was unable to build innings after that. This aggressive batting duo added 67 (45), 93 (52), and 50 (28) in the three outings so far.
Mitch Marsh missed a few matches during his recovery from a hip injury. They tried four players, Mandeep Singh, Rovman Powell, Rishabh Pant, and Mitch Marsh for the No. 3 position in five matches. With COVID circumstances, they have to pick a new combination.
Team News: Mitch Marsh is unavailable for the selection Tim Siefert or KS Bharat will play at his position. Anrich Nortje may come in place of Khaleel Ahmed.
Probable Playing XI (DC)
Prithvi Shaw, David Warner, KS Bharat, Rishabh Pant (c & wk), Rovman Powell, Lalit Yadav, Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Mustafizur Rahman, Anrich Nortje
Punjab Kings: Like Delhi’s top order, Punjab’s top order players are scoring heavy runs, but their middle order and lower middle order aren’t finishing well. They scored the four highest powerplay scores out of the top 7 in IPL2022.
Liam Livingstone has 224 runs this season and is his team’s leading scorer. He isn’t able to finish the innings. Hard hitter All-rounder Odeon Smith is struggling with the bat, and he isn’t justifying his selection.

Probable Playing XI (PBKS)
Shikhar Dhawan, Mayank Agarwal (c), Jonny Bairstow, Liam Livingstone, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Shahrukh Khan, Benny Howell, Kagiso Rabada, Rahul Chahar, Vaibhav Arora, Arshdeep Singh
