Match Preview
As the match 64 is all set to be played in the DY Patil stadium of Mumbai, both the teams in the competition will look to make most of the condition. The pitch of the DY Patil stadium is a bounty for the bowler in the first half of both the innings with the new ball. The pacers can churn great swing from the surface while the second half remains mostly for the spin and fielding effort. The surface is also friendly for the batters as they can easily reap off an average score of 160-170 on this surface. The temperature is expected to be around 35 degrees Celsius, with a bit of air that might as well help the pacers swing the ball better. The likes of Shikhar Dhawan and Rabada might have a great night for their respective team as the pitch favors their style of cricket.

Team Preview
Delhi Capitals has been stepping up its performance towards the end of the tournament as they remain with three games to make it to the Playoffs. The biggest challenge has been the lack of form of their skipper Rishabh Pant this year. However, Kuldeep Yadav, Rowan Powel, and Axar Patel have been critical in the team’s success, and if they continue to play the role, it will get difficult for PBKS to score against them.
