DC against PBKS Predictions
David Warner was the match’s best batter.
Delhi will need Warner to start contributing right away from their season opener, since the top five hitters are expected to account for the bulk of the runs scored. Despite his lacklustre performance in the ILT20, Australia’s left-hander amassed runs at will in the Twenty20 International series against the West Indies. Warner, who has amassed almost 12,000 runs in the shortest format, will be crucial to the Capitals in the first encounter.
Kuldeep Yadav was the match’s best bowler.
The game will take place in a new location, and it is unknown how the surface will perform. A bowler like Kuldeep Yadav can really make a difference on such wickets. The left-arm wrist spinner exudes confidence and has transformed into a whole different bowler than he was a few years ago. Along with having just finished an excellent home Test series against England, Kuldeep will be eager to take advantage of this chance to secure a berth in the T20 World Cup.
Which team, the Delhi Capitals (DC), will win?
