Next up in the Vivo IPL 2021 is a fascinating contest between the Punjab KIngs and the Delhi Capitals. The second match on a double header Sunday, both the sides have had a contrasting season until now.
PBKS have three wins in seven games. They are back to winning ways after a thumping victory against the Royal Challengers Bangalore. Runs haven’t been coming from the middle order and this is a cause for major concern throughout this season.
On the other hand, we have DC who have five wins in seven games and look comfortable come the end of the season. Their opening pair have been in red hot form this season. Their only major cause of concern is their death bowling.
