The Super Saturday of IPL 2023 is here and in the second game of the day, we have Delhi Capitals (DC) going head-to-head against Punjab Kings (PBKS). Both teams need a win badly and a loss for DC would eliminate them from the playoff race. Punjab Kings (PBKS) also need to win to keep their realistic hopes alive and this will surely be a fiercely fought contest.

What is the venue of DC vs PBKS game?

The venue of this DC vs PBKS game on Saturday is Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi. The game will start at 7.30 PM IST and let's hope for a cracking encounter.

What are the expected changes in the playing XI of DC vs PBKS?

DC were handed a heavy defeat by CSK in the last game and they have nothing to lose now. Mukesh Kumar and Manish Pandey might get swapped with each other by using an impact player rule.
