Punjab Kings are in very good form. They have won 3 out of the last 5 matches. One match had no result and one was lost. In the last match they defeated Rajasthan Royals by 10 runs. The confidence of the team is high. Both batting and bowling are going at the right time.
Delhi Capitals form is going a bit tight. Out of the last 5 matches, they have not won a single match. Four losses and one rain interrupted match. In the last match bowling was good until the 18 overs but the last two overs spoiled every hard step of the team. However, even if Delhi would have done well in the last two overs in bowling, they wouldn’t have won the match because of their bowling. Team will have to find form. Otherwise the problem will increase.
The pitch of Sawai Mansingh Stadium Jaipur is good for batting. Batsmen enjoy scoring runs. But fast bowlers also get help in the initial overs. The bowler who maintains the pace and line right, gets the advantage. High scores are made on this ground, but fast bowlers also remain in the game. The pitch is smooth and has a sheen which suggests that batting is the favourable option. Bouncers or bowlers who work with speed can do well here. Surprisingly, Punjab Kings have the highest score on this ground while Rajasthan Royals have the lowest score.
Till now, Punjab and Delhi have faced head-to-head each other 33 times. Punjab has won 17 times and Delhi has won 16 times. There is not much difference between the two teams. Last year, Punjab won a match by 31 runs. Delhi won the second match by 15 runs. This year Punjab won by 4 wickets. The tussle always remains tight.

Shreyas has scored 435 runs in 12 matches. His highest score is 97*. He has an average of 48.33 and a strike rate of 174.69. Shreyas has been in great form with scores like 72 and 45 recently. He is key to PBKS’ middle order.
Arshdeep has taken 16 wickets in 12 matches. Best bowling is 3/16. He is great with the ball in the powerplay and at the death. Arshdeep was on fire in recent matches, with figures of 3/16 and 2/25. He’s a match-winner for PBKS with the ball. He was the top wicket taker in the Punjab Kings camp with his exceptional bowling ability.
KL has scored 504 runs in 12 matches. His best score is 112* in a recent match against Gujarat Titans. He averages 56.00 and has a strike rate of 148.67. KL is a reliable anchor for DC and builds the innings. He scored 112* and 57* in recent games.
Kuldeep has 13 wickets in 13 matches. Best is 3/22 against Sunrisers Hyderabad. He has a strong economy rate of 6.85. His recent form has been quiet, but he can be dangerous. His role as a left-arm spinner is crucial for DC’s bowling attack.
Vipraj has taken 9 wickets in 13 matches. Best bowling is 2/18 in a game against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. He also scored 20, 18, and 38 runs in recent matches. Can be useful with both bat and ball. He’s a reliable all-rounder for DC.
Nehal has scored 280 runs in 11 matches. His highest score is 70 which he scored in the last match against Rajasthan Royals. In the last two games, his scores were 70 and 5. But he has the ability to score big. When in red hot form, he’s a useful middle-order batter. You should definitely try him as your vice-captain in this match if you're looking to leave any of the two players from the top order of Punjab Kings.
Azmatullah Omarzai is bowling his full overs but is not consistent with his line and length so keep an eye on him in Grand League teams only. He bats very deep where his chances to get more than 4-5 balls are very less. He was expensive in the last match but got two wickets luckily, however in this match, you can avoid him.
The same story of Azmatullah Omarzai goes for Dushmantha Chameera as he is an expensive bowler who struggles with his line and length while Dharamsala requires a lot of control in line and length. He can be a bad pick for your dream11 team.
