PBSK vs DC : IPL 2024 Match 2: Match Prediction, H2H, Playing XI.

PBSK vs DC : IPL 2024 Match 2: On March 23, Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals face off in the second IPL 2024 match.

Match Overview

On Saturday, March 23, at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Delhi Capitals (DC) will square off in match 2 of the ongoing IPL 2024 season. Both sides will be hoping to get off to a strong start in this inaugural game of the season.

This will be the first IPL game Punjab has played at their new stadium, which they will host Delhi in. With some new signings in the forthcoming season, the Shikhar Dhawan-led team will be hoping to forget the past and start over in the 17th edition. The team ended ninth in the points table the previous season. Punjab has never won the title; the closest they have been is the 2014 edition finals, where they were runners-up after losing to Kolkata Knight Riders.

However, the 2023 season was similarly a bust for the Capitals, who under David Warner’s direction ended eighth in the standings. Pant is expected to make a spectacular return to the field after being sidelined for more than a year in 2022 due to an accident. The Washington Capitals are another team that has never won a championship. They have only made it to the finals once in 16 seasons, and it was in the 2020 campaign when they were upset by the formidable Mumbai Indians.
