PBKS vs DC IPL 2025 preview

Punjab Kings (PBKS) are set to face the Delhi Capitals (DC) in match number 58 of the Indian Premier League (IPL), on May 8, 2025, at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) Stadium in Dharamshala. PBKS, led by Shreyas Iyer, is currently sitting in third place in the points table with 15 points. They have won seven out of their 11 matches along with one match with no result due to rains. They will be looking to nearly cementing their position in the top four by securing a win against DC.

DC, on the other hand, led by Axar Patel has had a mixed campaign with six victories and four defeats. They narrowly escaped a humiliating defeat to SRH in the previous match due to rain suspending the encounter and a point being shared between the two sides. Currently in fifth place, DC must win this game in order to stay alive in the playoffs race.
