Punjab kings will take on the Delhi Capitals in the 29th game of the 14th edition of the Indian Premier League. With three wins and four losses from seven games, PBKS are sitting at the fifth spot in the table, while with five wins and two losses from seven games, DC are placed second from the top. As you sit to build your fantasy teams, here is our suggestion based on the performance of the players this season.
Here are the 3 players whom you should avoid in the fantasy teams for the match between Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals:
Marcus Stoinis
Stoinis has been a genuine all-rounder for the team, although he has not been able to deliver this year as much. He has not got too many chances with the bat due to his batting position, while with the ball, he has picked only two wickets. He has averaged 23.66 with the bat, scoring 71 runs from three innings, and his economy with the ball is 11.44. In his team’s last game against KKR, Stoinis remained unbeaten at 6 from three as he came when the chase was nearly finished.
Steve Smith
With scores of 9, 33, 34*, and 4 this season, Smith has scored a total of 80 runs at an average of 26.66 from five games. He was not initially a part of the team but ever since his inclusion, none of his knock has been substantial. Smith’s strike rate of 112.67 in the season has also been a concern and that makes him an option to avoid. In the last game against KKR, Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan chased down the target almost single-handedly, giving him no chance to bat.
Deepak Hooda
Hooda made a brilliant start to the tournament, hitting a 28-ball 64 with six maximums and four fours against Rajasthan Royals. His knock played a crucial role in taking his team’s score beyond 200, although ever since then, he has not managed to fire. In seven matches, Hooda has scored 115 runs at an average of 23. While his strike rate his 143.75, he would need to bat for longer duration to make it count.
