With seven defeats in 11 matches, Delhi Capitals are on the brink of making an exit from the race to playoffs in this season of the Indian Premier League and on Saturday they will be up against Punjab Kings, who are also desperate to win and keep their slim playoff hopes alive.
Winning the next three matches will only take DC to 14 points, which might not be enough to earn them a place in the top four, but they will hope for a more purposeful approach from their Indian batting unit to not go down without a fight.
The specialist Indian batters have hardly contributed and it has all been about either skipper David Warner, keeper-batter Phil Salt or all-rounder Mitchell Marsh, who have given the team some momentum with willow.
