PBKS vs DC Team Previews

Punjab Kings

Opener Priyansh Arya has been in explosive form with his 347 runs in this IPL at a strike rate of nearly 193. Partner Prabhsimran Singh recently smashed 91 off 48 balls against Lucknow Super Giants, as part of three consecutive half-centuries. In the middle order, captain Shreyas Iyer and keeper Josh Inglis have bolstered the innings.

Iyer has looked dominant this season with over 400 runs and a strike rate over 180. He has four fifties and a batting average over 50 too. Inglis overcame a slow start by raining in boundaries with his 30 off 14 balls in his previous innings.

Nehal Wadhera has been a handy floater in the batting order. The young gun batter has over 550 runs in the IPL. Shashank Singh brings power down the order with numerous notable starts. His most recent hit was a quickfire 33 to maintain his IPL career strike rate of over 150.

In contrast, Marcus Stoinis has struggled to score runs but has at least scored at a rapid rate of 167.34. Afghan all-rounder Azmatullah Omarzai’s steady seam bowling provides depth late in the innings. He took two wickets in his previous Punjab appearance.

Left-arm speedster Marco Jansen has led the attack with raw pace and bounce. His career best IPL figures of three for 17 came this season. Arshdeep Singh has been the strike bowler for his side and has been among the top wicket-takers in the competition.

His three for 16 helped snuff out the chase against Lucknow early. Yuzvendra Chahal anchors the spin end. His class has shown in 2025 with 14 wickets and two four-wicket hauls.

Delhi Capitals

KL Rahul has led his side’s batting with 381 runs with a high score of 93 not out and three fifties this year. Abishek Porel has given Delhi plenty of handy contributions in his career. He has accumulated 625 IPL runs over his career. South African Faf du Plessis overcame an early-season groin injury to strike two fifties, including an important 62 runs against Kolkata Knight Riders.

Opener Karun Nair is having his most successful season in terms of strike rate. He has 1650 runs in the IPL overall.

Skipper Axar Patel has chipped in with both bat and ball. He has played numerous knocks of 30-plus runs, while achieving multiple matches with two wickets in the innings. Tristan Stubbs has been consistent for the side. His composed knock of 41 not out against Sunrisers Hyderabad showed that he knows how to manage a situation.

Young Ashutosh Sharma, coming on as an impact sub, did just that and made an immediate impact with 41 runs in his previous innings.

Mitchell Starc has spearheaded the attack and showed his class against the Knight Riders with a three-fer. Sri Lanka pacer Dushmantha Chameera has provided solid support. He has 144 T20 career wickets. Kuldeep Yadav has led the spin attack with authority.

He is one wicket away from 100 IPL wickets. Young left-armer Thangarasu Natarajan adds death-over punch with his accurate yorkers. He has a three-wicket haul for his country in T20Is too.

PBKS vs DC Toss Prediction

In the previous match at this venue, the team winning the toss chose to bowl first. Punjab Kings’ previous victory against their opposition came from when they bowled first against Delhi in 2024.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The pitch at Dharamsala is largely balanced, although could arguably be tilted in the batter’s favour after showings in its most recent match. The surface should be suitable for fast bowlers in the early stages with the new ball and damp conditions. The spinners may not have too much assistance with grip and turn but will need to adjust to more skiddy bowling. Punjab’s average score at the ground in 2024 was 160.

The scattered showers on matchday are likely to be the biggest talking point about the weather conditions. There is a 35 percent chance of rain during the match. The temperatures will be cooler but may not feel so with a high level of humidity.

PBKS vs DC: Who Will Win?

Punjab Kings will continue their play-off ambitions with a crucial two points on the line. Delhi Capitals will be a worthy opponent looking to spoil the home team’s party. Both teams have largely relied on key players to deliver. In the current state of affairs, Punjab’s team should be favourites.

PBKS vs DC win percentage stands at 55% in favor of PBKS.
