Delhi Capitals have got an amazing line-up and have performed well in this year’s IPL. However, in their batting department, a lot relies on David Warner and Prithvi Shaw as they are the pillars of the team. Apart from them, Rishabh Pant and Lalit Yadav are the other two batters whom the team trusts. But the lack of runs from Rovmann Powell, Axar Patel, Mitchell Marsh and Shardul Thakur has been a real problem for them. Even in their bowling department, Mustafizur Rahman, Shardul Thakur and Axar Patel haven’t done much. Only Khaleel Ahmed and Kuldeep Yadav have been their main bowlers picking up 19 wickets between them. They will be hoping for a comeback from Anrich Nortje in the upcoming matches.
For Punjab Kings, the only issue with them is that their lower order batters haven’t done much for them. Mayank Agarwal, Shikhar Dhawan, and Jonny Bairstow have contributed in bits and pieces in the batting department. Only Liam Livingstone and Jitesh Sharma have played well for them. Liam Livingstone has scored 226 runs in 6 matches with a strike rate of 185. Even the lack of runs from Odean Smith is also a big issue for them. In the bowling department, Arshdeep Singh, Kagiso Rabada and Rahul Chahar are the main bowlers for the team. Rahul Chahar has been the leading wicket-taker for them. But the bowling of Odean Smith Vaibhav Arora is a big concern for them now.
Final Thoughts
Both the teams have performed well in this year’s IPL but are yet to give their best. Thus, this match will be a big one for both the teams out there. So, we predict that Punjab Kings will beat Delhi Capitals in a thriller and Liam Livingstone will be the key player for them now. Thus the betters can opt for Punjab Kings to bet to gain some good profits.
