Toss prediction
Considering the conditions in Dharamsala where batting is heavily aided by a quick outfield and true bounce, the team winning the toss will want to chase.
Win probability
Based on the current form, Punjab Kings are favourites to win the match with a win probability of 60%. Delhi Capitals, after two losses, will find it tough against Punjab in this away fixture.
Average score
We can expect a high-scoring game, especially given that both these teams are batting heavy. The average score in Dharamsala is 180 in night games, but the team batting first will want to aim for 200-plus. However, this is the first game at this venue this season.
Pitch and conditions
The pitch at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association stadium in Dharamsala will aid early movement, but should be good for batting later on.
Players to keep an eye on…
PBKS Predicted playing XI:
Shikhar Dhawan, Prabhsimran Singh, Liam Livingstone, Matthew Short, Sam Curran, Jitesh Sharma, Shahrukh Khan, Harpreet Brar, Kagiso Rabada, Rahul Chahar, Arshdeep Singh
DC Predicted playing XI:
Prithvi Shaw, David Warner, Philip Salt, Mitchell Marsh, Manish Pandey, Axar Patel Aman Hakim Khan, Kuldeep Yadav, Khaleel Ahmed, Ishant Sharma, Anrich Nortje.
Liam Livingstone: The swashbuckling England batter can go bonkers on this track and would look to take the attack to the Delhi Capitals bowling that has come under fire often this season.
David Warner: Warner showed signs of returning to form last game and if he can get apst Arshdeep Singh early on, Warner could make merry here.
