DC Playing 11 vs PBKS 

Delhi Capitals have struggled with inconsistency and untimely absences this season, leading to their early playoff exit. A lack of momentum in the powerplay and the unavailability of Mitchell Starc during the crunch phase of the league severely dented their campaign. Despite a few bright spots, including some spirited batting efforts from the middle order, DC never quite found their rhythm. Now, with one match left, they’ll aim to disrupt PBKS’s plans and finish the season with dignity. Coach Ricky Ponting is expected to experiment with the line-up, possibly giving younger talents a chance in what is now a dead rubber.
