Thus, both teams will be determined to improve their record in the ongoing season. We take a look at Picks for the match between Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings. We will look at head-to-head records, stats, and players to look out for in the upcoming match.

Current form for Delhi Capitals: L W L L W

Delhi Capitals haven’t yet come up with consistent performances as they have failed to win the crucial stages of the game. Delhi had their noses in front against Royal Challengers but could not cross the line despite having the opposition at 92-5. Warner was the lone warrior in the batting order and they need to come up with a collective effort.
