DC vs PBKS, Brabourne Stadium. Delhi Capitals are in the dominant position against Punjab Kings. DC only lost once in the last five IPL games vs PBKS. However, IPL 2022 is in favor of PBKS. DC has an issue with their middle-order batting while PBKS has no shortage of big hitters in their squad. Regardless of the squads, tonight's match is going to be a run-fest.
Since the arrival of David Warner, DC's powerplay run rate has gone up significantly. But the middle-order is still not looking as good as PBKS. Warner is just 55 runs away from completing a 1000-run mark against PBKS. He has just one challenger, Kagiso Rabada. He has dismissed Warner five times and a runout. Khaleel and Shardul are going to be the most important bowlers because of two reasons: their form and their head-to-head stats. Kuldeep Yadav can be used in the powerplay against Dhawan.
It is time for Bairstow to make some noise with the bat. He has the lowest score of 38(18) while playing against DC. It looks like he is troubled with his number 3 position. It is very much possible that Dhawan can open alongside Bairstow. No updates on Sandeep Sharma's availability yet. If he is fit to play, he should replace Arshdeep in the team. Odean Smith is likely to be replaced by Rishi Dhawan or Tim Seifert. It will only benefit PBKS.
