Preview

In the 35th match of the IPL 2026, Delhi Capitals (DC) will take on Punjab Kings (PBKS). Delhi Capitals struggled in their previous match, suffering a 47-run defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Batting first, Hyderabad put up an imposing total of 242 runs, while Delhi could only manage 195 in reply.

While chasing a huge target, Delhi had a shaky start as Pathum Nissanka was dismissed early. However, Nitish Rana played a commendable knock of 57 runs, and Sameer Rizvi contributed 41, but their efforts weren’t enough to steer the team to victory. Earlier, Delhi’s bowling unit also underperformed, failing to pick up early wickets. Axar Patel was the lone wicket-taker, while the rest of the bowlers went wicketless.

On the other hand, Punjab Kings delivered a strong performance in their previous game, securing a 54-run win over Lucknow Super Giants. Batting first, Punjab posted a massive total of 255 runs, restricting Lucknow to 200 in response. Their top order fired impressively, with Cooper Connolly scoring 87 and Priyansh Arya playing a match-winning innings of 93. In the bowling department, Marco Jansen led the attack with figures of 2 for 37, while Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh, and Vijaykumar Vyshak picked up one wicket each.
