The Delhi Capitals (DC) are gearing up to leverage their home advantage as they face off against the Punjab Kings (PBKS) in Match 35 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi this Saturday, April 25. So far, DC's season has been a bit of a rollercoaster, with three wins and three losses in their six matches. Under the captaincy of Axar Patel, the team has shown flashes of brilliance but has struggled to find that all-important consistency. Their batting has had its moments, while the bowling attack has been solid at times but often falters when it matters most. With another home game on the horizon, DC is eager to build some momentum and climb the points table. On the flip side, the Punjab Kings have been the team to beat this season. Led by Shreyas Iyer, PBKS has looked incredibly strong, remaining unbeaten so far. Their batting lineup has been nothing short of explosive, with standout performances from players like Priyansh Arya and Cooper Connolly. Sitting pretty at the top of the table, PBKS is looking to keep their winning streak alive. With DC on a quest for consistency and PBKS riding high on confidence, this matchup is set to be an exciting showdown.
