The Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals take each other on days after their previous game. This time though, the pressure is all on Punjab, who need to win each of their games to get to 16 points. They are in a relatively good position, as very few sides can get to 16. The Delhi Capitals though have no pressure on them. They are officially out of the season and can only play spoilsport from here on.

PBKS vs DC Key Players

Liam Livingstone

Livingstone is back, but is off to a slow start. His first game after an injury gap has not gone well, but if he does manage to find his range Punjab will be very pleased, and will look a lot stronger in the middle.

Mitchell Marsh

Mitchell Marsh single-handedly fought his way to keep DC in the game against the Sunrisers with both bat and ball. He, along with Axar Patel have shouldered the all-round duties well, and with the tournament heading into a do or die stage for them, Marsh will have to repeat his heroics a few more times.
