PBKS vs DC pitch report
Mohali was once renowned for its green pitch, which favored pacers. However, in recent years, the scenario has shifted. Now, it produces dry pitches that benefit batsmen, leading to high-scoring matches.
Just last year, there were two instances of teams scoring over 200 runs. Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) posted 257 against PBKS, while Punjab scored 214 in another match against Mumbai Indians (MI)

PBKS vs DC prediction
According to Google's win probability, there is a 53% chance that Delhi will defeat PBKS in the opening match and kick off the tournament on a positive note.
However, according to CricTracker, the team batting second is likely to win the match. MyKhel predicts a "nail-biting contest" but suggests that PBKS will have a slight advantage over DC. In our opinion, Rishabh Pant will lead Punjab to their first victory of IPL 2024
Prediction: DC to Win
Considering the squad strength, the Delhi Capitals are considered the favorites to win this match. With a well-balanced batting and bowling lineup, they hold an advantage over the Punjab Kings. However, cricket's unpredictability means that anything can happen on the field. Fans can anticipate an exciting contest as both teams vie for supremacy in the IPL 2024 season
