DC vs PBKS 11th Match Predictions & Betting Tips

The 11th fixture of the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League 2021 will see Delhi Capitals vs Punjab Kings collide against each other. The match will be held at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday, April 18. I have gathered three of the best betting tips for you to bet on from the DC vs PBKS match prediction.

Delhi Capitals commenced the season with a win against Chennai Super Kings by 7 wickets. Delhi continued to look strong and started off on a positive note. Shikhar Dhawan and Prithvi Shaw put on a wonderful partnership and did enough to take it beyond CSK with the opening stand. However in the second match against Rajasthan Royals, DC lost the match to Rajasthan by three wickets. The Capitals had worked so hard to get themselves in a dominant position despite having just 147 on the board.

Punjab Kings on the other end won their first match against Rajasthan Royals by 4 runs with the help of the captain, KL Rahul. However, they lost their second match to Chennai Super Kings by 6 wickets. While Delhi Capitals are on the fourth spot on the points table, the Kings are second from the bottom. In the 2020 season the teams played two matches, out of which the first was a tie and Delhi won the super over. While the second match was taken over by the Kings. As the duo’s gear up to play the first match of this season against each other I have assorted the best betting tips from the DC vs PBKS match.

DC vs PBKS Player Bets

There are some absolutely brilliant players from both the teams to choose from. To name a few KL Rahul, Shikhar Dhawan, Prithvi Shaw , Deepak Hooda are few of the players who started off this season on a productive note.However I have the two best player bets from DC vs PBKS.

KL Rahul To Score Over 29.5 Runs

The feisty captain of the Punjab Kings is my bet in line. Before playing for Punjab Kings, Rahul made his contribution to RCB and SRH as well. He has been a vital cog for PBKS since the 2018 season. He started off with a blistering knock in the very first match against Rajasthan Royals. The wicketkeeper-batsman scored 91 runs off 50 balls which included seven boundaries and five sixes. He led the PBKS runs-chart with over 650 runs and six half centuries which included a few innings in the 90’s.

Rahul won the Orange Cap in IPL 2020 season for scoring most number of runs. He had a superb 2019 season, where he got his maiden IPL ton and finished the season with an impressive average of 53.90. 2020 was a massive season for the Bangalore lad, having won the Orange cap. He finished with a massive score of 670 runs at an average of 55.83. To top this up, his knock of 132* against RCB became the highest individual score by an Indian batsman in the IPL. The opening batsman likes to lead from the front and the 2021 season looks promising for the team and him. Sportsbet.io has offered betting odds of 1.85 for KL Rahul to score over 29.5 runs in the DC vs PBKS head-to-head encounter.

Shikhar Dhawan To Score Over 25.5 Runs

This second bet is for an Indian player who is known as a naturally attacking left-handed opener. After his consistent performance since the inaugural edition of the IPL, Dhawan returned to his home-town batting unit Delhi Capitals in 2019. In the IPL 2020 season, Dhawan scored over 618 runs at an average of 44.14 making him the highest run-scorer in his team. He also became the first batsman in the tournament's history to score two successive hundreds. Before playing for DC, Dhawan made crucial contributions for Mumbai Indian and Sunrisers Hyderabad.

He has played 49 matches for Delhi Capital and scored 1573 runs from it which averages at 39.33. In the first match played against Chennai Super Kings this season, Dhawan came out as the Player of the match. He opened with 85 runs off 54 balls playing alongside Prithvi Shaw. His encounter included ten boundaries and two sixes. With close to 5200 runs from 179 IPL matches played, Dhawan is crucial to the Delhi Capital fortunes. LeoVegas.com has offered betting odds of 1.86 for Shikhar Dhawan to score over 25.5 runs in the next match against Punjab Kings on Sunday.

DC vs PBKS Team Bet:

With the teams being at par in the win ratio, finding a good bet is a tricky one. Hence I have picked that one winner bet for you, to help you make money from. This one easy bet from the PBKS vs CSK match prediction is a definite winner.

Delhi Capital To Hit Most Match 4’s

In the two matches that the teams have played, Delhi Capital have smashed 44 fours while Punjab Kings have only 28.

The highest number of fours to be hit by a Delhi Capital batsman last season was Shikhar Dhawan at 67. While a Punjab batsman hitting the most number of fours was KL Rahul at 58.
