Punjab Kings vs. Delhi Capitals: Betting odds and predictions
Punjab Kings have done pretty well so far this season. They’ve stayed steady and will be looking to keep that going as the league-phase nears its end.
Delhi Capitals, on the other hand, had a decent start, but things have slipped lately. For them, this match is massive. If they lose, their chances of making the playoffs could drop even further.
Punjab are sitting in a stronger position, but they won’t want to leave anything to chance. A win here could nearly lock in their top-four spot, and you can back them to do just that at 7/10 with betway.
As for Delhi, it all depends on how their bowlers perform. If the bowling unit doesn't step up, it’s hard to see them stopping Punjab, who have a powerful batting lineup led by the talented Shreyas Iyer, who is 11/4 with Betzone to top score for his side.
