The fourth round of the ongoing 86th season of the Ranji Trophy will begin from tomorrow with multiple teams playing each other across the country. There is no hiding to the fact that Punjab hosting Delhi at the Punjab Cricket Association Cricket Stadium will be among the top matches to be followed.
Having won two and drawn one match, Punjab are at the top of the point table in the cross pool. Despite these being early days in the tournament, the hosts would want to bank on the advantage of being the best teams among a group of 18 teams.
On the other hand, Delhi are at No. 11 in the same list on the back of one win, loss and draw each in three matches. Having lost two out of their last three Ranji Trophy matches against Punjab, Delhi will have to put on display a special performance to beat the home team.

Pitch Report
The surface at the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium is highly likely to assist the fast bowler especially in the morning session. Considering the Mohali surface in addition to the prevailing conditions in North India, fast bowlers should be able pick wickets.
Having said that, don’t rule out the possibility of batsmen being among the runs if the sun is kind enough to shine from the second and third sessions onward.

PUN vs DEL Dream11 Wicket-keepers
Picking one out of Punjab’s Anmol Malhotra and Delhi’s Anuj Rawat can be a stiff task. While Rawat has scored more runs, he has also played three more innings than Malhotra. However, expected to open in Shikhar Dhawan’s absence, the 20-year old wicket-keeper batsman might just be among the runs once again in the tournament.
If you pick Malhotra, you will have an extra two credits for your team which can help you in building a better squad for this match.
PUN vs DEL Dream11 Batsmen
Irrespective of the permutations and combinations, there should not be an iota of doubt in your mind regarding including Punjab opening batsman Shubman Gill in your Dream11 fantasy teams. Having already scored a century in the tournament, Gill should be able to fetch points for you.
As far as the Delhi batsmen are concerned, I have picked Dhruv Shorey and Jonty Sidhu as potential candidates who will favour you in the batting department for this match.
PUN vs DEL Dream11 All-rounders
Much like Gill, Punjab captain Mandeep Singh and vice-captain Gurkeerat Singh Mann are two more players who should be in your squad. With both the senior cricketers being among the runs, expect them to continue their top form in the tournament.
23-year old Punjab all-rounder Sanvir Singh, who scored his maiden First-class half-century in the previous match against Vidarbha while opening the batting, is my third all-rounder for this match.
PUN vs DEL Dream11 Bowlers
There won’t be many opportunities when you will find two India fast bowlers bowling for each team on a supportive wicket in India. With this match presenting the same chance, you should include both of them in Ishant Sharma and Sandeep Sharma.
