PBKS vs DC, IPL 2025: Toss result and playing 11s for today’s match, umpires list and pitch report
Punjab Kings (PBKS) are taking on Delhi Capitals (DC) in match number 66 of IPL 2025 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.

PBKS beat Rajasthan Royals (RR) by 10 runs in their previous match, which was also played in Jaipur. They lost three wickets early, but Nehal Wadhera (70 off 37) and Shashank Singh (59 off 30) played excellent knocks to lift the team. In the chase, RR were held to 209-7 as Impact Player Harpreet Brar claimed 3-22.
Delhi needed to beat Mumbai Indians (MI) in their last match to stay alive in the playoffs race. However, they succumbed to a 59-run defeat at the Wankhede Stadium. Bowling first, they allowed MI to recover from 123-5 to post 180. In the chase, they were poor again and were bundled out for 121 in 18.2 overs.

Today's PBKS vs DC pitch report
“Pitch number four is being used for today’s game. The outfield is beautiful. There is some grass on the wicket, but not enough if you are a seamer. It’s more to keep the surface together because of the hot weather. Expect a good pitch and a high-scoring match. 200 was scored here on the last three occasions. There is a nice wind blowing across.” - Ian Bishop and Pommie Mbangwa
