Punjab Kings v Delhi Capitals – Team News

• KL Rahul – The Punjab captain continues to pile on the runs once again. He hit another 91 on the way to victory over Mumbai and is pushing for another Orange Cap in 2021.
• Harpreet Brar – What an introduction for the young Punjabi spinner in the previous fixture. He first smashed a crucial 25 off 17 balls before taking three wickets.
• Mayank Agarwal – The Kings’ opener missed the last game through injury and will have to be assessed ahead of this one. If he isn’t available, Punjab may stick with youngster Simran Singh or shift Chris Gayle back up the order.
• Prithvi Shaw – The talented Delhi batsman looks to have found a bit of form after a stuttering start to the tournament. He will be determined to build on this 41-ball 82 in his previous outing.
• Ravichandran Ashwin – The experienced spinner isn’t available for this match after taking a break to be with his family. He will be a miss in these conditions.
• Axar Patel – One man who can fill the Ashwin void is Axar Patel. He took two wickets here in the last game and will be a vital weapon for Delhi once more.

Punjab Kings v Delhi Capitals – Betting Tips and Prediction

This is a really interesting clash after Punjab beat RCB in their last game. They will have learned a lot from that success and will be eyeing a repeat.

That said, Delhi cruised to their last victory over KKR at this venue and could have too much for the Kings.

Looking at other markets is the way to go for this one.

Back Bishnoi for Top Bowler

Spinner Ravi Bishnoi has made a real impact after getting back in the Punjab team.

He took another two wickets in the last game as well as another fine outfield catch.

Backing him to be Punjab’s top bowler looks a good bet in Ahmedabad.

He can be backed at 5.0 with bet365, which looks far too big given his recent form.

Smith is Value Option

Australian batting star Steve Smith hasn’t hit a big score this IPL and wasn’t even needed in the last game.

However, he could have a big role to play in this game coming in at number three.

Shikhar Dhawan started IPL 2021 in fine fashion but has dipped a little recently and his opening partner Prithvi Shaw is inconsistent at times.

Having the ability to work the field for twos could be key with others unable to play big shots.

His price of 5.0 with 1xBet to be Delhi’s top batsman looks a value selection.

Shaw to Get Over 26.5 Performance Points

Prithvi Shaw looks to have found some form recently and achieving over 26.5 player performance points looks very achievable.

He get one point for every run and seemed to enjoy playing at this ground in the last game.

He is also in key areas in the field and can bag a catch or two as well if he hasn’t got over the line with the bat.

To make that total is priced at 1.8 with 22Bet.
