A Covid-19 hit Delhi Capitals will take on Mayank Agarwal's inconsistent Punjab Kings in their next clash of the IPL 2022 at the Brabourne Stadium on Wednesday.
There are 4 positive cases in the Delhi Capitals' squad including Mitchell Marsh due to which the venue of the match was also changed to Mumbai. Earlier the game was to be played in Pune.
Both teams who will look to bounce back are coming from losses and are currently placed in the bottom half of the IPL points table. While Delhi suffered a loss against Royal Challengers Bangalore, Punjab faltered against Hyderabad.

Punjab whose batting looked miserable in their previous match will be bolstered by the presence of their skipper Mayank Agarwal, who missed the Hyderabad match. Except for Liam Livingstone and Shahrukh Khan, all the batters failed in their last outing. Shikhar Dhawan alongside Agarwal will look to rebound to his finest form. In Kagiso Rabada & Rahul Chahar, Punjab has a formidable bowling line-up who will look to spoil Delhi's outing.
On the other hand, Delhi though have had an unsuccessful campaign so far, boast of a fearful batting and bowling lineup. With Shaw and Warner in form, Rishabh Pant, and Rovman Powell in the middle, Delhi's batting looks sorted. Kuldeep Yadav has been the pick of bowlers so far. He has a total of 11 wickets to his name. Apart from him, Khaleel Ahmed has picked 8 wickets for Delhi.
Head To Head:
Punjab have a slight upper hand when it comes to head-to-head as they have won 15 out of 28 matches in IPL. Delhi have won 13.
PREDICTED PLAYING XI:
Delhi Capitals: Prithvi Shaw, David Warner, Rishabh Pant (C, WK), Lalit Yadav, Rovman Powell, Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur, Sarfaraz Khan, Kuldeep Yadav, Mustafizur Rahman, Khaleel Ahmed
