IPL 2025:
The scenario of the playoffs is very clear. The four playoff teams have been decided. Now the competition is to be between the top-2. Punjab is one of the teams reaching the playoffs.
This team will face Delhi Capitals on Saturday. This match will be played at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. Delhi team is out of the playoff race.
Jaipur is the home ground of Rajasthan Royals, but IPL was canceled due to India-Pakistan dispute. When the league resumed, the venues were changed and hence only six grounds were selected for the matches. That is why this match is being played in Jaipur. When IPL was canceled, the match was being played between these two teams. Now this match will be played again.
PBKS vs DC:
After a decade of failure, Punjab Kings will be looking to break into the top two for the first time in 11 years when they take on Delhi Capitals in an Indian Premier League match here on Saturday.
Punjab Kings have already qualified for the playoffs. But one more win can give them the number one position in the points table, beating Gujarat Titans. This will be another opportunity for captain Shreyas Iyer to make his captaincy felt this season. Earlier, he had led KKR to the title in 2024. On the other hand, Delhi Capitals had to face defeat in a match against Mumbai Indians, due to which the Delhi team was out of the IPL.
Who is ahead in head to head?
There is a tough competition between Punjab and Delhi in head to head. Punjab has defeated Delhi 17 times. Whereas Delhi has defeated Punjab in 16 matches. An exciting match is expected between the two teams in today's match as well.
Pitch Report
The pitch of Sawai Man Singh Stadium in Jaipur has been a bit slow this year. Not many big scores have been made here. The effect of dew has not been seen here so much. The team winning the toss can still decide to chase after this.
Match Prediction?
Our match prediction meter is saying that this match will be a close contest. Punjab Kings have the upper hand. However, the team chasing the target has more chances of winning. Punjab is a strong contender for victory in this match.
All eyes will be on these star players in today's match.
Shreyas Iyer vs Faf du Plessis:
Axar Patel is likely to be out in this match as well. In such a situation, Faf du Plessis can take the field as the stand-in captain of Delhi Capitals. He will face Shreyas Iyer, who is in tremendous form. Especially when Iyer is eyeing his second consecutive IPL title.
Marco Jansen vs Tristan Stubbs:
The contest between Marco Jansen and Tristan Stubbs can be worth watching. Punjab Kings fast bowler Marco Jansen, who has taken 13 wickets so far this season, will try to outdo his compatriot Tristan Stubbs. Stubbs started the tournament brilliantly, but his form has declined as the IPL progressed. Still, it is expected that a tough competition can be seen between the two players in Saturday's match.
Arshdeep Singh vs KL Rahul:
Left-arm fast bowler Arshdeep Singh uses early swing very well and can prove to be lethal on Jaipur's fast bowler-friendly pitch. At the same time, Delhi Capitals will once again hope for another brilliant innings from their experienced batsman KL Rahul.
