Punjab Kings will face Delhi Capitals at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala on Tuesday, May 16th, in today’s IPL match, in a bid to secure a double and keep their playoff hopes alive. The match will start at 7:30 PM on Wednesday, May 17th. Punjab Kings are feeling confident, while Delhi Capitals have had a disappointing exit from the Indian Premier League 2023 season.
Punjab Kings are at No. 8 on the IPL 2023 points table, and they need to win their final two games with a considerable margin and hope that CSK, MI, and LSG do not score more than 16 points to keep their playoff hopes alive in today’s IPL match. Net run rate will be the deciding factor in this scenario, and Pbks will have a chance.
Delhi Capitals will not only be playing for pride but also seeking redemption and aiming to eliminate Punjab Kings from the race for a top-four spot in today’s IPL match.
Despite having two league games remaining, they suffered their eighth loss in 12 games, making them the first team to get knocked out of the playoff race in 2023. However, they aim to spoil Punjab Kings’ party and end their campaign on a positive note.
