The surface in Mohali has traditionally been a high-scoring venue with batters enjoying their time in the middle. The ball might do a little bit for the fast bowlers in the initial stages of the match, but it will get easier to bat as the match progresses.
Punjab Kings will take on Delhi Capitals in the 64th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League in Dharamshala, Punjab. PBKS got an ideal start to their Indian Premier League 2023 campaign, recording two successive clinical wins but have lost their track mid-way through the tournament. The Punjab Kings have a deep batting order and a balanced bowling unit as well, they will come hard against MI in this fixture. PBKS need to win two out of the two matches to book their spot in the play off, even a win out of the two matches can get them through, provided other results go their way.
The Delhi Capitals started the season in the worst possible way, they lost 5 back to back games but have bounced back well with two back-to-back victories. They are coming into this game on the back of a defeat. David Warner has scored runs for his team but the strike rate has been an issue. Apart from him, other batters failed to gel up. Axar Patel has looked the man in form for the Capitals, he has done well with both bat and the ball. Delhi Capitals will be playing this match for pride as they are out of the race to qualify for the playoffs.
