PBKS vs DC Match PreviewÂ
Punjab Kings, led by Shreyas Iyer, are in fine form, sitting third on the IPL 2025 points table with seven wins, three losses, and one no-result. In their commanding 37-run victory against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), PBKS showcased their batting firepower, with Prabhsimran Singh’s explosive 91-run knock leading the charge.
Their bowling attack, spearheaded by Arshdeep Singh, who has claimed 16 wickets this season, has been equally impressive. A win against DC will propel PBKS to the top of the standings and solidify their playoff credentials, also helping them in securing a top-two finish.
Delhi Capitals, under the captaincy of Axar Patel, are in a spot of bother, placed fifth with six wins, four losses, and one no-result. They have had a topsy-turvy campaign.Â
After a strong start with four consecutive victories, DC’s form has dipped, managing just one win in their last five outings. Their recent match against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) was washed out due to rain, earning them a crucial point despite a poor batting performance that saw them score only 133 runs.Â
DC’s batting unit, including key players like KL Rahul, Faf du Plessis, Abishek Porel, and Tristan Stubbs, needs to regain consistency to keep their playoff hopes alive. A victory against PBKS is essential for them to climb back into the top four and remain in the hunt for the playoffs.
