Today Match Prediction for DC vs PKBS: Delhi Capitals will lock horns with Punjab Kings in the 11th match of IPL 2021 on Sunday at Wankhede Cricket Stadium in Mumbai. Both sides started their campaigns on a winning note. However, they couldn’t replicate a similar result in their next game. Delhi Capitals are sitting fourth in the points table, while Punjab Capitals are languishing at seventh. These are still early days and there is a lot of cricket left in the tournament. Today Match Prediction for DC vs PBKS: In the absence of Shreyas Iyer, Delhi Capitals displayed a solid performance under the leadership of Rishabh Pant in their first game against CSK. They won the game by 7 wickets. However, the batting line suffered a collapse in the next game against RR. DC batsmen struggled against left-arm seamer Jaydev Unadkat as he picked 4 wickets in that game. It was a forgettable outing for Delhi. They would look to make a few changes in the squad. Anrich Nortje has joined the bio bubble and is likely to play the game. He will join Kagiso Rabada to handle the fast bowling department. Delhi would also be tempted to play Woakes as the third seamer. The English paceman has bowled well in both the game so far in the tournament. Tom Curran is likely to sit out in the next game. Marcus Stoinis hasn’t really fired in the tournament and the franchise would want him to replicate the last season’s performances. The batting line is already looking a bit weaker in the absence of Iyer and with Marcus not being amongst the runs, it could become a problem for them. Nevertheless, Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan are in top form. The duo is likely to come out all guns blazing against Delhi. Rishabh Pant will also have a lot of responsibility on his shoulders. Delhi would want him to perform consistently if they have to make the playoffs for the third consecutive time. Punjab Kings too suffered a top-order collapse in their last game, courtesy of a sensational spell by Deepak Chahar. Batsmen struggled to tackle the swing when pitched up. Some of them were unplayable deliveries. It was a bad day for the hosts. However, they would like to forget what happened and concentrate on what’s ahead of them. Delhi isn’t going to be an easy team to beat and Punjab knows that very well. KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal must give them a good start. Otherwise, they might see another collapse and lose the second game in a row. The bowlers are bowling pretty well at the moment. KL Rahul and Co. wouldn’t want to tinker too much in that department. For your fantasy team, KL Rahul, Chris Gayle, Mohammed Shami and Arshdeep Singh are some of the key players to have in your team.
