Despite continuous defeat, problems remained different

However, the good thing is that if Punjab beats Delhi Capitals in Dharamshala on Monday, it can reach the top once again. At the same time, the fourth consecutive defeat can give a big blow to the team's hopes of making it to the top-2. No common weakness was visible in the defeat of Punjab Kings. The team failed to save the big score of 222 runs against Rajasthan Royals. After this, batting first against Gujarat Titans, the team could score only 163 runs. Whereas Punjab lost against Sunrisers Hyderabad while chasing the target of 236 runs.

Poor fielding of the team became the cause of problems

However, the team's fielding has been the biggest concern in all these matches. According to reports, Punjab has dropped 16 catches so far. Shashank Singh alone has dropped 5 catches. In this matter, only Chennai Super Kings is behind him, who have dropped 17 catches.

..So Delhi Capitals' exit is almost certain

The condition of Delhi Capitals is also not much better. The team has lost five of its last six matches. Recently, captain Axar Patel had said that the team can also focus on preparing for the next season and giving opportunity to the bench strength. However, Delhi is not officially out of the playoff race yet. If Royal Challengers Bengaluru beats Mumbai Indians and Delhi loses to Punjab, DC's exit from the tournament will be almost certain. Since Delhi is still in the race for the playoffs, the team can continue to rely on its current playing XI.

Punjab Kings had made a record in the last encounter

When both the teams met in Delhi at the beginning of the season, Punjab Kings had completed the biggest run chase in the history of T20 cricket. Punjab had achieved the huge target of 265 runs with seven balls left. Now it will be interesting to see whether Delhi Capitals is able to settle the score by winning this match or not.

There may be changes in PBKS team

After the arrival of Azmatullah Omarzai in the team, Punjab's fast bowling coach James Hopes has indicated that the team may make changes in the playing eleven. It is believed that Harpreet Brar may get a chance as the second spinner.
