The Delhi team will be going up against the Punjab team in match No. 59 of the Indian Playerzpot League 2023. With the league stages of the tournament now reaching its final lap, the teams are now looking to go all in the remaining few fixtures. Punjab has been inconsistent with their performances but still can make a huge impact with a win, while it will be a miracle if Delhi finds itself in the knockout stages.
Punjab has gained 10 points which is just 2 shy of the No. 3 team Rajasthan in the table, thus there is no reason why they cannot hope to make it into the playoffs. Delhi on the other hand, with 8 points have almost lost hope but nothing can be said of certain at this stage. It can be said that Punjab needs to win the game more than Delhi, thus making it a cracking affair between the two.
Players to watch out for
S. Dhawan (Punjab)
S. Dhawan is just the player Punjab were in search of, a steady batter with consistent runs who can also take up the leadership role. Things have always not turned in favour of the firey opener but they are still alive in the competition. He has 349 runs in just 8 games, in what was a losing cause the captain again delivered with a knock of 57 runs in the game against Kolkata. Perhaps better calls as the skipper and a blistering knock will see Punjab rise from the ashes.
A. Singh (Punjab)
The Indian pacer is indeed the leading attacker in Punjab’s bowling department. In a season where K. Rabada has had a hit-and-miss run, all the responsibility has poured onto his young shoulders. Known for his ability to scalp wickets in powerplay overs and steam the flow of runs in death overs. He is the leading wicket-taker for his side with 16 to his name so far and will be eyeing more. Although he will have to work on not conceding too much as he has been caught off guard in a few games where he was taken to the cleaners.
K. Yadav (Delhi)
The spin maestro from Delhi is well known for producing the goods for his team. He has an impressive last season scalping 21 wickets but this time around he has only managed 9 so far. However, this does not take away the fact that he has risen to the occasion at times when in need. With the experience he holds and skills he possesses as the leg-break bowler, he can be a hotwire to handle if he picks up his form and that is exactly what Delhi would want from him.
P. Salt (Delhi)
The explosive English batter was the one entrusted to provide a strong start with D. Warner but unfortunately, that has not materialized as planned. There is no doubting the abilities of the Englishmen but the inconsistency has been a real cause of concern. However, the knock of 87 runs of 45 balls in the win against Bangalore is one positive he can hold on to. With nothing to lose now in the competition, perhaps he can go all in with his bat and finish the season on a high.
