Punjab Kings (PBKS) will host Delhi Capitals (DC) at the picturesque Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) Stadium in Dharamsala in match no. 64 of the IPL 2023 on Wednesday. This will be the first time that an IPL match will be played in Dharamsala since 2013.
PBKS are currently in 8th position with 12 points from 12 matches and still have a chance of reaching the IPL 2023 Playoffs stage. The two sides met last week in New Delhi where a brilliant maiden century by Prabhsimran Singh was enough to carry PBKS to a 31-run win at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
DC are in last place on the IPL 2023 Points Table with just 8 points from 12 matches and out of contention for a place in the Playoffs stage. A win for Shikhar Dhawan’s side on Wednesday will propel them to the middle of the table and put them firmly in contention in the Playoffs race.
The historical head-to head is quite close between PBKS and DC with the Punjab side winning 16 out of the 31 times the two sides have faced off. However, the conditions on Wednesday should be more suitable for PBKS in Dharamsala with DC missing the services of pacer Anrich Nortje.
