IPL 2021, PBKS vs DC Live Cricket Match Score Online Updates: In a big blow to Punjab Kings (PBKS), KL Rahul has been hospitalised and will go undergo surgery after getting diagnosed with acute appendicitis. The PBKS skipper is currently the leading run-scorer in the tournament with 331 runs from seven games and four half-centuries to his name. PBKS are currently in fifth place on the points table with three wins from seven games. They registered a big win against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the previous game.

On the other hand, Delhi Capitals (DC) registered a comprehensive win against a struggling Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). They are currently in the second spot with five wins from seven games. The DC openers Shikhar Dhawan and Prithvi Shaw are in sublime form and contenders for the orange cap. Skipper Rishabh Pant is likely to include Lalit Yadav in the side after his performance in the previous game replacing an unfit Amit Mishra with a shoulder niggle.

IPL 2021, PBKS vs DC Live Updates:

Harpreet Brar and Ravi Kishnoi will be the key bowlers against Delhi Capitals. However, it will be interesting to see whether Punjab Kings include both in the side against DC as they have four left-handed batsmen in Shikhar Dhawan, Rishabh Pant, Shimron Hetmyer and Axar Patel. 

Nicholas Pooran has struggled in the tournament with a string of poor scores. With KL Rahul out of the side, Punjab Kings need an opener or a No.3 batsman and the No.1 T20I batsman fits the bill. Malan can make his T20I debut against Delhi Capitals. 

Squads:

Delhi Capitals: Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Rishabh Pant(w/c), Marcus Stoinis, Shimron Hetmyer, Steven Smith, Axar Patel, Lalit Yadav, Kagiso Rabada, Ishant Sharma, Avesh Khan, Ajinkya Rahane, Amit Mishra, Umesh Yadav, Chris Woakes, Aniruddha Joshi, Sam Billings, Lukman Meriwala, Tom Curran, Praveen Dubey, Anrich Nortje, Vishnu Vinod, Manimaran Siddharth, Shams Mulani, Ripal Patel

Punjab Kings: KL Rahul(c), Prabhsimran Singh(w), Chris Gayle, Nicholas Pooran, Deepak Hooda, Shahrukh Khan, Harpreet Brar, Chris Jordan, Riley Meredith, Ravi Bishnoi, Mohammed Shami, Moises Henriques, Mayank Agarwal, Mandeep Singh, Dawid Malan, Jalaj Saxena, Murugan Ashwin, Sarfaraz Khan, Fabian Allen, Saurabh Kumar, Jhye Richardson, Ishan Porel, Utkarsh Singh, Darshan Nalkande, Arshdeep Singh
