Priyansh Arya, Prabhsimran Singh (wk), Shreyas Iyer (c), Shashank Singh, Nehal Wadhera, Mitchell Owen, Azmatullah Omarzai, Marco Jansen, Xavier Bartlett, Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal
PBKS's team looks balanced, with all of their players being T20 specialists. Their powerplay playing combination is also looking good and balanced this year, besides just the batting unit, their bowling attack is also playing lethal this year.

Faf du Plessis (c), Abishek Porel (wk), Sameer Rizvi, Tristan Stubbs, Ashutosh Sharma, Vipraj Nigam, Madhav Tiwari, Kuldeep Yadav, Dushmantha Chameera, Mustafizur Rahman, Mukesh Kumar

DC, as a whole unit, put on a great show this season with their batting and bowling unit performing well, but after a series of wins they lost the matches in close contests, where sometimes, it was the fielding that took on the matches, and sometimes they gave more runs than they should. Although they have a solid squad, somehow, they are not able to make an impact this season. With a top-class performance from their opening batting order and consistent efforts from the bowling, they are less likely to opt for any change now.

DC has some explosive batters like KL Rahul and Ashutosh Sharma, and strike bowlers, who are helping the team. With constant defeats and a balanced squad, they will likely go with the same players to maintain a winning momentum and get the same opening partnership in the last match for the season. Also, Axar Patel might not be part of the match due to his health issues, and someone else will be replacing him in the playing XI of PBKS vs DC My11 Circle Match Prediction squad.
