Why Marsh is not playing in PBKS vs DC clash?
DC captain David Warner confirmed that Marsh is out of the clash as he is injured and Nortje comes in for him. We will bowl first. There is some dew here. It should remain the same for the entire game. We have a great lead-up to this game thanks to this spectacular venue. Marsh is injured and Nortje comes in for him. Also, Praveen Dubey makes way for Prithvi Shaw," Warner said at the toss.
