With the race to the playoffs intensifying, both sides will look to strengthen their positions with a win.

Prabhsimran Singh: A dynamic opener, Prabhsimran is known for giving explosive starts and setting the tone in the powerplay overs.
Arshdeep Singh: The left-arm pacer has been effective both with the new ball and at the death, making him a vital asset in PBKS's bowling lineup.
Axar Patel: A reliable all-rounder, Axar provides control with the ball and depth with the bat. His role in both departments has made him a key figure in DC’s balance.
KL Rahul: Reliable and composed, Rahul’s role as a senior batter is pivotal for Delhi in building or chasing targets.
Kuldeep Yadav: With his sharp variations and control, Kuldeep has been central to DC’s spin attack, especially during middle overs.
