PBKS vs DC Match Preview:

A big boost for Punjab is getting Jonny Bairstow back amongst the runs. In the last game, he finally played the knock he's known for. Bairstow along with Liam Livingstone is a warning sign for the opposition bowlers. In a support role, Shikhar Dhawan and Bhanuka Rajapaksa are doing well.

Rishi Dhawan has been fantastic with the ball and can contribute decently with the bat as well. Arshdeep Singh has been brilliant while Kagiso Rabada constantly poses threat. 

Since Prithvi Shaw's unavailability, the opening hasn't been that good for Delhi. The good part is that David Warner has stepped up and so has Mitchell Marsh. The two Aussies are looking good at the moment. Although he hasn't scored big but Rishabh Pant looks brutal whenever he has arrived at the crease. His quick knocks can change the game. 

Khaleel Ahmed is likely to come back in the playing XI. He has looked good whenever he has bowled. Kuldeep Yadav will be looking to have a good outing after a few ordinary performances.
