PBKS vs DC Live Updates: Although the 10 overs from that match have been purged given the relocation and reset, Punjab will also have confidene from knowing what kind of start they had in Dharamsala from their openers. That was a DC team with Starc, on a run-friendly pitch similar to Jaipur. Can they repeat the trick?

PBKS vs DC Live Updates: Two of the original IPL clubs, the Northern Derby is as tight as it gets. Two of the three original teams never to get their hands on an IPL trophy, they are joined at the hip with PBKS having beaten Delhi 17 times, but DC right behind them with 16 wins of their own.

Will it be PBKS to open up some daylight in this rivalry or can DC pull level with a win to further complicate things in Jaipur?

PBKS vs DC Live Updates: Punjab and Delhi last faced off in their respective opening games of the IPL 2024 season, and it would be PBKS running out victors in their first ever game at the new PCA Stadium in Mullanpur. On that day, DC limped their way to 174, thanks to a blitzy Abishek Porel 32*(10), but that was never enough to defend. Solid innings from Sam Curran and Liam Livingstone guided Punjab home in the last over of their chase. DC still look fairly similar, but this is a very different Punjab team.

PBKS vs DC Live Updates: One team unbeaten in 4, against another winless in 5. Surely this only goes one way? After starting their season 6-2 and having an 86% chance of qualifying as per statistical estimates, Delhi have lost 4 and gotten away with a no-result in their last 5 games, and looked nowhere close to winning in several of those.

It has been a head-scratcher, with not too much changing. But a lack of consistency and reliability particularly in the top order has been a root concern throughout this miserable run going back a month.

PBKS vs DC Live Updates: Delhi Capitals haven’t had a season where they’ve had more wins than losses since 2021. In two of the last three years, they finished with an even record. The team will feel it is far too good to regress, especially after the start they had. They will want to be one of the teams who can claim to have won more often than they lost, with that fact capable of providing serious momentum in 2026.

PBKS vs DC Live Updates: It was quite the opposite story for DC. In a must-win game, the capital team played terrifically for 18 overs to limit MI at the Wankhede. After that, it fell apart. Momentum swung MI’s way with 48 runs off the last two overs, and DC never recovered as early wickets and a middle order collapse against spin left them reeling.

DC’s manner of defeat in their two games since the resumption will be what disappoints the players and fans the most, not meeting their own standard through the tournament at all.

PBKS vs DC Live Updates: PBKS will have taken a lot of heart from their win against RR at the same venue last weekend. Neither innings started well at all, as they were three wickets down cheaply with bat, before being attacked relentlessly while bowling.

Nevertheless, the fightback and the ability to hang in the game will be a point of pride. Nehal Wadhera continues to establish himself as a high-quality middle order domestic batter, while Harpreet Brar provided a typical match-winning spell that always seems to be up his sleeve.

It was a tight victory, but one to take plenty of confidence away from.

PBKS vs DC Live Updates: With a hat-trick of wins, Punjab have shown that they mean business this year. A first playoff berth in 11 years already in the bag, they have racked up the wins and remain an in-form team across the board. In fact, in their last seven games, they have only lost one. Are they the favourites going into the playoffs? These last two games will decide that.

PBKS vs DC Live Updates: Currently on 17 points, a win today will send PBKS to the top of the IPL standings with a game to spare. From there, they will be favourites to qualify in the top two, even if a tough assignment against fellow playoff team MI is on the cards.

PBKS vs DC Live Updates: It’s the closing stages of the IPL league matches, and all that remains to be decided is the order of the top four. Punjab Kings have a chance to go top of the table as they prepare to face Delhi Capitals in Jaipur. All the updates as this match plays out, right here!
