DC Predicted XI vs PBKS, IPL 2022: The Delhi Capitals are looking for consistency in the face of the Covid cloud

All-rounder Mitchell Marsh is the latest player to test positive for a banned substance. There are no more positive cases in the squad for the final round of tests on April 20. DC will have the rest of their squad to choose from when they face Punjab Kings on Wednesday.

DC have been inconsistent of late, losing by six wickets to Lucknow Super Giants before thrashing KKR by 44 runs and then losing by 16 runs to Royal Challengers Bangalore. Marsh’s positive test may force them to use the same lineup as the one that lost to RCB.

Prithvi Shaw: The young opener has two half-centuries to his name this season and looks in good form.

David Warner: He may have only scored four runs in his second appearance for DC, but he followed that up with 61 and 66 runs. In the two consecutive half-centuries, Warner appeared ominous, and DC will hope he continues in this vein.

Sarfaraz Khan: DC has clearly kept Sarfaraz as a floater, and if they get off to a good start, he may not bat again.

Captain Rishabh Pant (wk): The captain has tried to keep the ship together in the middle order, which has been a problem for DC. Pant has a strike rate of just over 145 and has 144 runs in five innings.

Rovman Powell: Had it not been for the Australian being ruled out, Powell might have lost his spot to Marsh. In five innings, the West Indian big hitter has only given up one double digit run.

Lalit Yadav: In the previous match, Lalit was only out for one run. Yadav, on the other hand, has played some good cricket for the team in the past.

Mumbai defeats Vidarbha by 169 runs to win the 42nd Ranji Trophy, capping an eight-year reign.

Mumbai overcame Vidarbha by 169 runs in the Wankhede Stadium final on Thursday to end an eight-year drought for a record-tying 42nd Ranji Trophy victory. Vidarbha put up a valiant fight in the second inning to chase a massive 538 runs, but on Day 5, they were eventually bowled out for 368.

Vidarbha put up a valiant battle on Day 5 of the final, with captain Akshay Wadkar and Harsh Dubey leading the team’s struggle against Ajinkya Rahane’s troops. Vidarbha scored 81 runs in the opening session without losing a wicket thanks to the two’s resolute stance at the crease, which frustrated the home team.

Mumbai defeated Vidarbha by a commanding 169 runs in the Ranji Trophy final, putting on an outstanding display.

Following lunch, Wadkar gave Vidarbha’s innings a boost with a magnificent century, showcasing his batting prowess. But when it was time to step it up, Tanush Kotian got his wicket by lbw-ing Wadkar.

Following the captain’s exit, Vidarbha’s batting lineup came under increasing pressure. Even Dubey, who showed fortitude by hitting a steely 65 off 128 deliveries, gave in to the pressure of the scoreboard.

Mumbai’s bowlers strengthened their hold on the game as the innings went on. Vidarbha’s bottom order offered little resistance as Mumbai quickly completed the innings in just the next 25 deliveries.

Ajinkya Rahane gave the ball to Dhawal Kulkarni in a crucial moment following the loss of the ninth wicket in his final domestic encounter. With just his third ball of the spell, Kulkarni quickly secured the vital wicket of Umesh Yadav, securing Mumbai’s 42nd championship.

Mumbai won their first Ranji Trophy since 2016. The domestic powerhouses increased their lead over other teams in the standings for the most trophies won in the first-class competition. With Karnataka coming in a distant second, no other team has won the Ranji Trophy more times than this one.
