Fantasy Tips – Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals, IPL T20, 64th Match. Who Will Win, On May 17, 2023

Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals

Match Details

On Wednesday, May 17, 2023, the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala will host the 64th game of the Indian Premier League 2023, which will feature a match between the Punjab Kings and the Delhi Capitals.

Match Review

Despite a lackluster performance in the current season of the Indian Premier League, Punjab Kings still have a chance to secure a spot among the top four teams. Out of the 12 matches they have played, they have managed to win six and lost six, placing them in the eighth position on the points table. However, in order to increase their chances of making it to the playoffs, they need to win their remaining two matches by a significant margin. Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals have been struggling in this tournament, having only won four out of the 12 matches played so far. They currently hold the last position on the points table. Their upcoming match against Punjab Kings will be the second time they face each other in this edition of the IPL.

Punjab Kings Reviews

Although Punjab Kings are considered a strong team, they have not been very impressive in this tournament. Despite this, they still have a chance to make it to the top four teams if they can win their two remaining matches with a big margin. In their recent match against Delhi Capitals, they won by a margin of 31 runs, but their batting order was not up to par. They could only manage to score 167 runs in 20 overs, with Prabhsimran Singh being the only successful batsman, scoring his maiden IPL century with 103 runs on just 65 balls.
Sam Curran was the only other batsman to score double figures, with 20 runs. The rest of the batsmen, including the skipper Shikhar Dhawan, failed to enter double figures. However, they were able to defend their low target of 168 runs, thanks to their bowling unit. Harpreet Brar was the most successful bowler with four wickets to his name, while Rahul Chahar and Nathan Ellis picked up two wickets each.

With this win, Punjab Kings have performed better than Delhi Capitals in this tournament, and they have already beaten them once. They will likely perform well in their upcoming match against Delhi Capitals and secure another win.

Delhi Capitals Reviews

In this season of IPL, Delhi Capitals has been a major disappointment to its fans worldwide, being the worst-performing team in the tournament. It is unlikely that they will qualify for the next level of the tournament. Although they won two consecutive matches against Gujarat Titans and Royal Challengers Bangalore, they have lost their past two matches against Chennai Super Kings and Punjab Kings. The bowling unit of Delhi Capitals is strong but has failed to perform well in this tournament, with the exception of their previous match against Punjab Kings. Despite the strong batting order of the Punjab Kings, Delhi Capitals managed to limit them to just 167 runs. Leading the bowling unit of Delhi Capitals are Khaleel Ahmed, Ishant Sharma, Axar Patel, Praveen Dubey, Kuldeep Yadav, Mitchell Marsh, and Mukesh Kumar, all of whom performed well in the previous match. Ishant Sharma was the most successful bowler from their side, taking two wickets in three overs and conceding 27 runs, while Axar Patel picked up one wicket in four overs and gave away 27 runs. The other bowlers, Praveen Dubey, Kuldeep Yadav, and Mukesh Kumar, each took one wicket and had reasonable performances. Mitchell Marsh and Khaleel Ahmed were the only bowlers who failed to take any wickets.

The batting order of Delhi Capitals has been lackluster this season, and their worst performance can be attributed to the failure of their batting order. In their most recent match against Punjab Kings, they managed to score just 136 runs while chasing the target of 168 runs. David Warner and Philip Salt opened the batting inning of Delhi Capitals and provided a good opening start of 69 runs for the first wicket partnership. However, all their other batsmen failed to continue this good form and lost wickets very early. David Warner is the only batsman from their side who has performed well in this tournament, being the highest run-scorer in the previous match with 54 runs to his name, scored on just 27 balls with the help of ten boundaries and one huge six. Philip Salt was the other batsman who put some runs on the board, scoring 20 runs, while Aman Hakim Khan and Praveen Dubey scored 16 runs each.
