THE LOWDOWN
DELHI CAPITALS
- Delhi Capitals have been struck by a number of positive Covid-19 tests within their camp, which has led to a less than ideal preparation period for head coach Ricky Ponting and his charges.
- As of now, the Capitals have not revealed the players who have tested positive, with one of those players rumoured to be an overseas, so it would be no surprise if we were to see changes to their starting line-up.
PUNJAB KINGS
- Despite the big-hitting exploits of Liam Livingstone, Punjab Kings were comfortably beaten last time out by Sunrisers Hyderabad after being bowled out for 151, which was chased down in 18.5 overs.
- Livingstone’s England teammate Jonny Bairstow will be hoping for a big score sooner rather than later, whilst the presence of Shikhar Dhawan at the top of the order will also be very important.
THE PREDICTION
Although Punjab Kings were beaten in their most recent IPL fixture, their fans can take heart from the fact that they have responded strongly in each of the last two matches played immediately following defeat, winning both times. Against a Delhi Capitals team who will not have been able to practice as much as they would expect due to a mandatory quarantine, not to mention the potential of players being unavailable due to Covid-19, Punjab Kings will be expected to record a fourth win in the 2022 IPL.
