Delhi Capitals will take on the Punjab Kings in their next encounter at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai. The Rishabh Pant-led side is coming off a loss in their previous game against the Royal Challengers Bangalore and is currently at the eighth position in the points table with two wins in five games. Mitchell Marsh has tested positive for Covid-19 in the Delhi camp and all the players in the squad have gone into isolation. Anrich Nortje might be back in the XI if he is fit as the other bowlers conceded a lot in the previous fixture.
On the other hand, Punjab Kings haven’t had the best of times as well and they suffered a big loss at the hands of the Sunrisers Hyderabad in their previous game. They are currently at the seventh position in the points table with three wins in six games and Mayank Agarwal is expected to be back in the XI for the upcoming game after missing out in the last fixture. Jonny Bairstow is yet to set the stage on fire this season and Punjab will expect him to come good soon.

Probable Top Performers
Probable best batter of the Match: Liam Livingstone
Liam Livingstone had yet another good outing in the previous game against SRH where he scored a half century and helped his side to a respectable score in the end. The England batter can be very destructive in the middle order and he has already scored 224 runs in the six games he has played. The right-hander is likely to continue his assault going by the way the Punjab Kings have played so far in the tournament.
Probable best bowler of the Match: Rahul Chahar
Rahul Chahar has been the standout bowler for Punjab Kings this season and he has continued to impress with his leg-spin. The youngster has been able to extract turn from the pitch despite very less assistance from the wickets and has taken nine wickets in six games already in this edition. He has the ability to turn games on their head and finished with 2/28 in the previous game when the other bowlers could not make much of an impact.
