Delhi Capitals (DC) will be desperate to arrest their slump and stay in contention for the Playoffs when they take on a high-flying Punjab Kings (PBKS) here today.
DC are currently placed fifth on the table with 13 points from 11 matches.
PBKS, on the other hand, have been in sensational form this season, winning seven and losing just three of their 11 matches to sit in third place.

DC's top-order have looked vulnerable all season leaving KL Rahul as their only reliable batter. PBKS star pacer Arshdeep Singh, who has 16 wickets to his name, will relish the challenge.
While DC's batting has been inconsistent, Punjab's has been rock solid.
Meanwhile, the match between Mumbai Indians and Punjab Kings to be held on Sunday in Dharamsala is set to be shifted to Mumbai after travel plans of the teams were thrown haywire following the temporary closure of the hill town's airport.
Dharamsala's airport has been closed for operations indefinitely as a precautionary measure after India's missile strikes on Pakistan to dismantle terror infrastructure in the wake of the Pahalgam terrorist attack. However, today's game will go ahead as scheduled given that both teams have touched base.
