Punjab Kings (PBKS) will take on Delhi Capitals (DC) in match number 58 of IPL 2025 at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala on Thursday, May 8. PBKS are third in the points table, with 15 points from 11 matches. On the other hand, DC are in fifth position, with 13 points from 11 games.
A win for Punjab on Thursday will push them to the top of the points table. It will also keep them in contention for a top two finish. PBKS beat Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by 37 runs in their previous match in Dharamsala. Batting first, Punjab posted an imposing total of 236-5 and then restricted LSG to 199-7. Both their batting and bowling are in great shape.
After a great start to their IPL 2025 campaign, Delhi now find themselves in do-or-die territory. Their batting has been below par in the last few matches and, in their previous game against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), they crumbled to 29-5. DC were lucky to escape with one point thanks to the weather in Hyderabad. However, they need to pull up their socks before it's too late.
