Delhi Capitals will be up against the Punjab Kings in their third match of this year’s IPL. Both the teams are coming after a loss in the previous game.
Both the teams have not performed in the middle order, and towards the finishing line. Punjab scored 225 runs in their first match with terrific innings from captain KL Rahul and Deepak Hooda. Hooda has provided a stability in the middle order to the Punjab based side but he was quiet and struggled in the last game against Chennai Super Kings. Whereas Nicholas Pooran has not opened his account in both the games but Punjab still has a lot of faith in him.
Talking about Delhi Capitals, after the first game the team has not shown confidence in the second match against the Rajasthan Royals. In this game they might bring experienced Steven Smith into the squad at Number 3. Whereas, when it comes to bowling then the Capitals have done a great job in restricting the team.
