IPL MATCH PREDICTION: Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals, match 64
Punjab Kings (PBKS) will face a tough opponent in the Delhi Capitals (DC) in their upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 group stage match after winning their previous match. On May 16, the match will be held at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy in Mumbai (Monday). Not only PBKS, but DC also enters the competition having won their previous match and would like to extend their winning streak in the tournament.
While PBKS defeated the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) by 54 runs in their previous match, DC demolished the Rajasthan Royals (RR) by eight wickets to keep their play-off hopes alive. Both PBKS and DC have been playing some decent cricket in patches, and as the competition progresses, they will aim to put up more consistent performances. For both sides, this is a must-win game, and a loss will effectively destroy their chances of making the top four.
