A crunch match in the Indian Premier League is on the cards on Saturday, when the Punjab Kings take on the Delhi Capitals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium. PBKS are third in the league standings, while DC are fifth. Let’s get into the match prediction.
The Punjab Kings are set to return to the IPL Playoffs after a decade-long hiatus, now on 17 points in 12 games but still aiming to secure home advantage in the knockouts.
PBKS secured their Playoff berth with a 10-run victory over the Rajasthan Royals on Sunday, marking their third straight win in the competition and fourth consecutive match without defeat.
Prabhsimran Singh only managed 21 runs in the last match, but is still the Kings’ top run scorer with 458, while Arshdeep Singh has been the chief contributor with the ball, picking up 16 wickets.
Meanwhile, the Delhi Capitals will be playing this match as a mere formality after losing their last game by 59 runs to the Mumbai Indians, who snatched the final Playoff spot with the victory.
DC are now winless in their last five IPL matches, which is a massive downturn after storming out of the blocks, with four consecutive wins at the start of the season.
Matches between these sides have historically been closely contested, with DC winning 16 and PBKS winning 17, though the Kings have come out on top in the last two completed games.
