Delhi Capitals (DC) will take on Punjab Kings (PBKS) at home in the 35th match of the current Indian Premier League (IPL) season. The match is equally important for both teams, as their eyes will be on the 2 points.
More than PBKS, those 2 points will be more important for Delhi Capitals. The team led by Axar Patel will have the advantage of playing at home and will try to make the most of it. Based on current form, PBKS is the favorite to win the match.
IPL 2026: DC vs PBKS Preview:
So far, DC’s journey in IPL 2026 has been both hot and cold. They have enough talent in their squad to qualify for the play-offs, but due to inconsistency they have yet to show their best team play. In their last 5 matches, Delhi Capitals managed to win only 2 matches, while they were outplayed on 3 occasions. With 6 points from 3 wins and a net run rate of -0.130, they sit 6th in the 10-team league.
Axar Patel’s leadership is under scrutiny, mainly for his bowling tactics. At crucial moments in matches, instead of adopting aggressive stances, Patel tends to hide with a defensive mindset, which could have pushed the team on the wrong foot.
Kuldeep Yadav is one of the most lethal spinners in limited overs cricket and remains largely underused. Axar Patel himself is a prolific spinner in the mid-overs and is also underutilized on most occasions. The team’s batting was mainly based on stars like KL Rahul, David Miller and Tristan Stubbs. Because it depends on individual brilliance, Delhi lacks consistent momentum.
On the other hand, Punjab Kings remain the only unbeaten team in the league heading into the match, which will begin at 3.30 pm at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Based on pure team play, the troop led by Shreyas Iyer has been moving like an armored vehicle on the battlefield of IPL 2026.
Prabhsimran Singh, Shreyas Iyer, Priyansh Arya and Cooper Connolly are adding value significantly with their batting work. With Arshdeep Singh with the new ball, supported by Marco Jansen and Xavier Bartlett, and a few other all-rounders, the PBKS bowling unit is also performing as a unit.
