Delhi Capitals take on Punjab Kings in Match 11 of the Indian Premier League 2021 on Sunday, in Mumbai. Both teams made a winning start this season but tasted defeat in their second match respectively.
DC defeated Chennai Super Kings by seven wickets in their first match before losing by three wickets to Rajasthan Royals. On the other hand, PBKS defeated RR by four runs before losing by six wickets to CSK.
The common theme in both the defeats was the surprising nature of the Wankhede Stadium pitch. The Mumbai ground is known for producing big scores with the pitch usually being flat and hard. However, in the last two matches, the seam bowlers have been able to extract a lot of help out of the pitch with the ball sticking in it on its way to the batsmen.
With dew playing a major role in the second innings, batting first has become a tough task at the Wankhede. DC managed just 147/8 against RR with the top and middle order failing. They had scored 190/3 batting second in their first match at the same venue. Meanwhile, PBKS scored 221/6 in their season opener batting first but could only manage 106/8 against CSK.
Both teams failed to assess the pitch after they were asked to bat first leading to sub-par totals. With little to worry about their bowling, DC and PBKS will aim for a better batting display on Sunday to take the toss out of the contention.
