IPL 2021, Live Cricket Score, Delhi Capitals (DC) vs Punjab Kings (PBKS): Both Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings suffered defeats in their previous matches so they will aim to regain the winning momentum when they meet on Sunday for the Match 11 of the Indian Premier League at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium.
