<p>Delhi Capitals will need to put the COVID scare in their camp behind when they take on a hot and cold Punjab Kings at the Brabourne Stadium today.</p>
<p>Australian all-rounder Mitchell Marsh had to be hospitalised after testing positive for COVID, taking the total count to five cases in the Capitals&rsquo; camp.</p>
<p>To ensure no other case goes undetected in the bio-bubble, the BCCI has decided move the game from Pune to Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai.</p>
<p>All squad members, who returned negative tests on Tuesday, will need to clear another round of testing on Wednesday morning for the game to go on as scheduled.</p>
<h2>Powerful batting line-up</h2>
<p>Warner, Prithvi Shaw and skipper Pant headline a powerful DC line-up against a Punjab unit that boasts of Shikhar Dhawan, in-form Liam Livingstone and Shahrukh Khan.</p>
<p><img title="Mayank Agarwal" src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/images/2022/apr/mayank-april-twenty-b_e.jpg" alt="Mayank Agarwal" width="1280" height="720" /><strong><em>Mayank Agarwal</em></strong></p>
<p>As both teams eye a return to winning ways, the batting unit that does well could be the difference.</p>
<p>Punjab could be bolstered by the return of regular skipper Mayank Agarwal, who missed the game against Sunrisers Hyderabad due to a toe injury.</p>
<p>A flamboyant Dhawan was in his elements against Mumbai Indians, but consistency has been an issue for the senior opener.</p>
<h2>Mayank eyes big runs</h2>
<p>The southpaw, who failed against SRH, will be looking to give the side a solid start along with Mayank, who too would be eager to take the varied Delhi bowling attack to cleaners.</p>
<p>The Punjab middle-order will need to take greater responsibility and find substantial runs.</p>
<p>Jitesh Sharma has already shown that he can become a good finisher. However, save for Livingstone, who made a brisk 33-ball 60, others faltered against SRH and the team management would expect more from them.</p>
<p>But the task for Dhawan and company won&rsquo;t be an easy one as they would face the in-form Kuldeep Yadav, who has taken 11 wickets so far.</p>
