Competition: VIVO IPL
Date: 19 April
Time: 7:30 PM IST
Ground: Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai

Brief score of the last result at the venue: Delhi Capitals 198/4 beat Punjab Kings 195/4 by 6 wickets in the 11th match of IPL 2021.
Pitch Report: As seen in the previous game, the Wankhede pitch has once again become a nightmare for the bowlers. There was no swing on offer in the last match between Punjab and Delhi and the conditions are expected to be the same in this game as well. The dew factor will surely have a role to play in the later part of the game. Thus, the team winning the toss should look to field first.
