IPL 2021, DEL vs PBKS, 11th Match Match Preview:
Delhi Capitals had a top-order collapse in the last game and so did the Punjab Kings. For DC, Rishabh Pant was the savior and for PBKS, Shahrukh Khan.
DC batting lineup could have one change where they bring in power-hitter Shimron Hetmyer in place of Lalit Yadav. The DC lacked a finisher in the last game and the West Indian could add those 20-25 runs in the end.
Umesh Yadav could replace Tom Curran, who hasn't had a memorable outing so far. Yadav's ability to swing and seam the ball will be a good option in the powerplay overs.
Punjab Kings too can make a few changes in the lineup. Nicholas Pooran hasn't opened his account yet and got out similarly in both innings. Dawid Malan could get a game here in place of him.
In the bowling department, Riley Meredith hasn't impressed so far. Chris Jordan has done well in the past for Punjab and could replace Meredith. His ability to bat is also a bonus for PBKS in the end.
Punjab Kings has had an upper hand over Delhi Capitals in the past. However, DC has a strong team on paper and is looking well equipped to beat PBKS in this contest.
DC vs PBKS Head-to-Head:
- Total – 26
- Delhi Capitals – 11
- Punjab Kings – 15
