Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals will be facing each other in the 64th match of IPL 2022, to be played at DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai. In the previous IPL season, Punjab Kings finished sixth while Delhi Capitals finished third. So far in this season, both teams have won six and lost as many matches.

At the DY Patil Stadium this season, PBKS have won two out of three games while DC has won one out of three. When both the teams faced earlier in the season, DC registered a comfortable nine-wicket win with more than nine overs remaining. A win is extremely crucial to boost the playoff chances of both these teams.

Rishabh Pant

Jonny Bairstow, after being backed by the team despite a bad form, has responded with two fifties in back-to-back matches. His opening partner Shikhar Dhawan has been consistent and is currently the leading run-scorer in the team. Bhanuka Rajapaksa and Jitesh Sharma have been playing valuable cameos at a high strike rate. Kagiso Rabada, Rahul Chahar, and Arshdeep Singh have been brilliant with the ball. As far as DC are concerned, David Warner is continuing his phenomenal form in the league, despite being shifted to another franchise. Rishabh Pant and Prithvi Shaw have also been in good form for the Delhi Capitals. Kuldeep Yadav and Khaleel Ahmed have been the top bowlers for the team.
