Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Delhi Capitals (DC) will face off in Match 64 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Stadium in Dharamshala on Sunday.
PBKS have a slight edge in the head-to-head record between the two teams, having won 16 of the 31 matches they have played against each other. DC, however, has won the last two matches between the two teams.
In their previous match, PBKS defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) by 5 wickets. Shikhar Dhawan top-scored for PBKS with 70 runs off 50 balls, while Liam Livingstone scored 42 runs off 22 balls. Kagiso Rabada was the pick of the bowlers for PBKS, taking 3 wickets for 25 runs.
DC, on the other hand, lost to Gujarat Titans (GT) by 5 wickets in their previous match. David Warner scored 66 runs off 52 balls for DC, while Prithvi Shaw scored 38 runs off 24 balls. Kuldeep Yadav was the pick of the bowlers for DC, taking 2 wickets for 24 runs.
PBKS will be hoping to continue their winning momentum and register their third consecutive victory. DC, on the other hand, will be looking to bounce back from their loss to GT and get back to winning ways.
DC Struggle Against Spin
DC has struggled against spin in IPL 2023. In 13 matches, they have lost 37 wickets to spin, which is the most for any team. This is a major concern for DC, as the pitches in the UAE, where the second half of the IPL will be played, are known to be spin-friendly.
PBKS have a number of spinners in their squad, including Rahul Chahar, Liam Livingstone, Harpreet Brar, and Rishi Dhawan. These spinners will be key to PBKS’ chances of winning the match.
Can DC Draw Level With PBKS?
DC can draw level with PBKS in the points table with a win on Sunday. However, they will need to overcome their struggles against spin and play a disciplined brand of cricket.
PBKS, on the other hand, will be looking to continue their winning momentum and move up the points table. They have a strong batting line-up and a good bowling attack, and they will be confident of winning the match.
The match is expected to be a close contest, and it will be interesting to see who comes out on top.
