Defintely happy faces. I am not satisfied and content. We want to build momentum from here. Each and every individual is performing for the team. Job half done as of now. Important to stay in the present and seize every possible chance. Inglis and Stoinis come back into the side.

We will have a bowl. I think today it is 50-50. Just the make up of the side. We are playing an extra batter. It helps while chasing. It has been very frustrating. We started well. Then went on a roller coaster. We have played enough T20 cricket to understand. We played well in the last game for the first 17 overs. Then lost focus. We are playing for the fifth spot. We had our goals to get into top four.
Time for the toss. Faf has walked out again. No Axar again. Iyer is there. DC will be handicapped again it seems. This is the last game for the DC unit.

Delhi Capitals have won the toss and elected to field  first

The pitch in Jaipur has favoured batters, but the larger boundaries have helped bowlers who use slower deliveries. Unlike past years, the surface has also offered good support to pace bowlers, with those putting in extra effort finding movement with the new ball during the powerplay. This venue has experienced heavy dew in the past, so the team winning the toss is likely to choose bowling first.

Punjab Kings have a slight edge over Delhi Capitals in their head-to-head record, leading 17-16 in total matches played between the two sides.
