Sixteen days after his game in Dharamshala, the first innings was released before the completion of the first innings, Punjab Kings and Delhi Capital will meet again at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in IPL 2025 here on Saturday.
Since that night, a lot has changed in Mountain Town. After winning against Rajasthan Royals, Kings have already sealed their place in the playoffs for the first time in 11 years.
The team headed by Shreyas Iyer has been highly dependent on its top order this season, and pushed the middle-order performance against RR led by Nehal Vaheerra and Shashank Singh, as well as the side for a top-two finish along with Agar’s.
Mumbai’s Indians have a mood in the dressing room of the capitals after a darbing of 59 runs in the hands of the team, which ended the expectations of the team’s merit.
Capital recalled the services of Pace Spearhead Mitchell Starc, who did not make it back after the league restart, especially on death. DC scored 62 runs in the last four overs, including 48 out of the last two, which eventually helped his opponent to get the upper hand in the competition.
However, the batting has been heal of DC in this campaign. DC has the third worst batting average this year (27.13), and KL Rahul (504) has been its only batsman to score more than 350 runs. The team will expect Skipar Axar Patel be available after a match of the flu as it looks to end another down-back campaign with a win.
