DC vs PBKS Probable Best Performers

Probable best batter

Liam Livingstone:

After returning from a much-maligned injury in IPL 2023, the explosive English batter is looking in great shape. If Delhi is to defeat the visitors in their upcoming match, they must get rid of Livingstone, who has the ability to change the course of the game in just a few deliveries.

Probable best bowler

Mitchell Marsh:

Mitchell Marsh did not produce prolific numbers in the wickets column for the Delhi Capitals, but they will take it nonetheless. The Australian all-rounder has taken nine wickets in his last three matches and has been playing like a man possessed in the tournament’s second half.
