Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals Predictions

The Kings have the fewest losses in this year’s IPL and are proving a tough side to beat. The Capitals batters have been short of runs and I can’t see them offering the Kings much resistance.

Punjab Kings’ Prabhsimran Singh has scored 83, 54, 91 & 21 in his last 4 innings.
Punjab Kings’ Nehal Wadhera top-scored with 70 off 37 balls against the Rajasthan Royals.
Delhi Capitals’ KL Rahul (504 runs, ave 56.00) is 9th in the IPL runs list.
Delhi Capitals’ Sameer Rizvi has scored 105, 20 & 39 in his last 4 innings.

Head-to-Head

Delhi Capitals have won three and lost two of their last five matches against Punjab Kings.

Punjab Kings Form

Punjab Kings made it three wins on the bounce when they beat the Rajasthan Royals by 10 runs.

The Kings recovered from 34/3 to post 219/5 off their 20 overs. Nehal Wadhera top-scored with 70 off 37 balls, including five fours and five sixes, backed up by Shashank Singh (59* off 30 balls).

The Royals put up a good fight but ended up 10 runs short with just three wickets in hand. Harpreet Brar (3/22, econ 5.50) was phenomenal with the ball, knocking over three of the Royals’ top four.

Punjab Kings Team News

The Kings have Josh Inglis, Marcus Stoinis and Kyle Jamieson back with the squad, which should give them all the firepower they need to beat the Capitals.

Delhi Capitals Form

Delhi Capitals suffered their fourth defeat in four completed matches when they lost to the Mumbai Indians by 59 runs.

Mukesh Kumar (2/48) picked up two key wickets as the Capitals restricted Mumbai to 180/5 off their 20 overs.

The Capitals crashed to 65/5 in the 10th over en route to being bowled out for 121 off 18.2 overs. Sameer Rizvi (39) was the only batter to score more than 20.

Delhi Capitals Team News

Skipper Axar Patel is still recovering from illness and might be forced to miss the match. Seam-bowling allrounder Madhav Tiwari would be his likely replacement.

Verdict

Punjab Kings v Delhi Capitals

I am backing Punjab Kings to win. I am also backing Prabhsimran Singh to top score for Punjab Kings.

KL Rahul is a good bet to top score for the Delhi Capitals.
