Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals Prediction – 66th T20 IPL, Dream11 Prediction, Betting Tips, Playing XI, Pitch & Weather Report

The Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals prediction for the 66th T20 IPL 2025 match is shaping up to be a thrilling encounter. Scheduled for Saturday, 24th May 2025 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, this game carries more weight for Punjab than Delhi. With the playoffs door already closed for DC, they will look to play spoilsport. On the other hand, Punjab Kings, who are in contention for a top-two finish, will be desperate for a win to solidify their place. In the last PBKS vs DC face-off, rain had the final say, robbing fans of what could’ve been a high-scoring thriller.

Despite the setback, PBKS enters this match brimming with confidence. Their aggressive top order, depth in all-rounders, and potent pace attack make them strong favorites. Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals will be playing for pride, and that can make them dangerous. With nothing to lose, their players might show up with a fearless brand of cricket. The likes of KL Rahul, Abishek Porel, and Axar Patel will be key if DC is to put a dent in Punjab’s playoff hopes.

The Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals prediction also depends heavily on the pitch and weather conditions, which seem to favor batting initially and spinners later in the innings. In recent outings, Punjab’s power-hitters like Priyansh Arya and Shreyas Iyer have dominated in the middle overs, and if they get going, DC might find it hard to contain them.

Will Punjab keep their winning momentum alive, or will Delhi spoil the party? Read on for the full PBKS vs DC match preview, fantasy picks, pitch report, and statistical insights.

Team Previews

Punjab Kings Preview (PBKS)

Punjab Kings are having a stellar season, riding high on batting dominance and improved consistency. With playoff qualification sealed, they now eye a top-two finish. Their top order has clicked with Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya leading from the front, both striking fluently in the powerplay.

Captain Shreyas Iyer has been the stabilizing force in the middle, while Shashank Singh and Nehal Wadhera have provided late firepower. The inclusion of Marcus Stoinis and Josh Inglis adds further explosiveness. Their bowling, led by Arshdeep Singh, has been effective in patches, although they’d want Marco Jansen to step up. Chahal and Harpreet Brar give them reliable spin options on the Jaipur pitch.

Punjab Kings will look to play fearless cricket and maintain momentum going into the playoffs.

Delhi Capitals Preview (DC)

Delhi Capitals’ campaign has fizzled out after a promising start. KL Rahul has been their lone warrior with the bat, scoring over 500 runs this season. Porel has shown flashes of brilliance but lacked consistency. Axar Patel’s all-round value was sorely missed in the last game, and his return could bring much-needed balance.

Bowling-wise, Kuldeep Yadav has been economical and a genuine wicket-taker. Mustafizur has offered control, but Chameera and Mukesh Kumar have been expensive in the death overs. DC’s problem has been their inability to string together complete performances. With nothing to lose, expect a liberated approach from them in this final outing.
