Axar Patel’s Delhi Capitals will be playing for pride when they take on Shreyas Iyer’s Punjab Kings in Jaipur on Saturday. With their playoff hopes dashed following a defeat to Mumbai Indians, the Capitals are out of the running but will aim to finish strong.
The Punjab Kings, meanwhile, are in a better position. With two games left and a playoff spot already secured, they are now gunning for a top 2 finish. Their last outing was a close 10-run win against Rajasthan Royals at the same venue, giving them both momentum and rest heading into this clash.
Their previous meeting this season was cancelled amid rising geopolitical tensions between India and Pakistan, making this the first full face-off of the season.
