IPL 2025: 5 milestones that can be achieved in today's PBKS vs DC match
Punjab Kings (PBKS) will face Delhi Capitals (DC) in match number 66 of IPL 2025 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Saturday, May 24. The two sides met at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala on May 8. Batting first, PBKS raced to 122-1 in 10.1 overs. However, the match was subsequently abandoned after which the T20 league was suspended briefly.
The two sides will now clash again at a different venue, with the match being replayed from the start. PBKS are in second place in the points table, with 17 points from 12 matches. They have already qualified for the playoffs. However, Punjab will be looking to clinch a top two berth. A win on Saturday will take them to 19 points and significantly improve their top two hopes.
DC were knocked out of the IPL 2025 playoffs race following their 59-run loss to Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Wankhede Stadium. Delhi began the tournament with four consecutive wins, but things have not gone according to plans after that. While they have been eliminated from the playoffs, DC would want to end their campaign on a positive note.
