With the group stages of the current season of the IPL nearing its end, the excitement around the playoffs is already building up as we already know the 4 teams who have made it that far.

On the other side, we have the Delhi Capitals who looked set for an exciting season but their form dipped sharply over the last few weeks and have nothing but pride to play for.

Injuries & Illnesses

Axar Patel missed the last due to flu and his availability for this match is not confirmed yet.

Pitch Report & Weather Conditions

The Sawai Mansingh stadium has hosted some high-scoring matches this season and we are expecting another run-fest. The dry conditions of Jaipur mean that there will be very little moisture under the surface and the grass will be sparse, making things difficult for the seamers. The outfield is pretty fast as well. The bowlers who vary their pace can get some success, while the spinners will get some turn during the second innings.

The weather is expected to be hot with no forecast for rain and the dew is unlikely to play much of a role.

PBKS vs DC Dream11 Top Picks

Wicketkeeper

We are selecting three players from this category including Prabhsimran Singh, KL Rahul, and Abishek Porel. All three of them have batted well throughout the season.

Batters

Shreyas Iyer and Priyansh Arya are the top picks in this category. We also include Nehal Wadhera, thanks to his excellent knock in the last match.

All Rounders

Marco Jansen is one of the best all-rounders of the league and we are picking him for our team. We are also tempted to include Vipraj Nigam, thanks to his contribution with the ball and the bat.

Bowlers

Arshdeep Singh is the leading wicket-taker for the Punjab Kings and makes it on our team. We are also selecting Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav, keeping in mind the dry conditions in Jaipur.

PBKS vs DC Captain and Vice-Captain Choices

Captain

Prabhsimran Singh is our choice as the captain of the team. He has been consistent at the top of the order and has played some excellent knocks for Punjab. His performance behind the stumps is a bonus.

Vice-Captain

We are going with KL Rahul here. He is the leading run-scorer for Delhi Capitals and has the potential to play a big knock.

PBKS vs DC Team Expert Advice

Since the pitch at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium is likely to be good to bat on, we have selected a team that is heavy with quality batsmen. We would have wanted to include one more all-rounder but that wasn’t possible here as the availability of Axar Patel isn’t confirmed yet. The spinners are likely to enjoy better success compared to the seamers and we have therefore opted for two full-time slow bowlers.
