IPL 2023 weather update: Delhi weather report on May 13 for today's DC vs PBKS clash
A full 40-over contest beckons fans when the Delhi Capitals (DC) host the Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the 59th match of IPL 2023 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday, May 13.
While DC are virtually out of the IPL 2023 playoff race, Punjab still have a chance of finishing in the top four. If PBKS manage to win all three of their remaining games and other results also go in their favor, PBKS can still make it to the playoffs.
Both teams are coming into the contest on the back of defeats and will have to fire on all cylinders to take home the two points.
DC's batting faltered once again as they fail to chase down 168 runs set by the Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Head coach Ricky Ponting accepted that Indian batters have failed to step up to the task, which has been a major cause of their miseries this year.
PBKS, meanwhile, have had a start-stop campaign in this year's cash-rich league. They lost to the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in their last outing after failing to defend 179 runs. Punjab will want their overseas cricketers to fire as they look to keep their hope alive in the competition.
