The Delhi Capitals (DC) will face the Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the 66th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. The match will be played at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur, on 24th May 2025 at 07:30 PM IST. Punjab Kings PBKS, led by Shreyas Iyer, have already secured a spot in the playoffs for the first time in 11 years and are now aiming for a top-two finish to gain a strategic advantage in the knockout stages. Their batting lineup has been bolstered by the emergence of Priyansh Arya, who scored a rapid century earlier in the season, and consistent performances from Nehal Wadhera and Shashank Singh. The bowling attack, featuring Arshdeep Singh and Yuzvendra Chahal, has been effective in containing opposition batters. A win today would not only solidify their position in the top two but also provide momentum heading into the playoffs. Delhi Capitals On the other hand, the Delhi Capitals, captained by Faf du Plessis, have been eliminated from playoff contention after a defeat to the Mumbai Indians. Despite a promising start to the season, DC's campaign was marred by injuries and inconsistent performances. They will look to end their season on a high note, with players like Tristan Stubbs and Kuldeep Yadav aiming to make significant contributions. The team will also be assessing their squad and strategies in preparation for the next season.
