The Delhi Capitals (DC) will face the Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the 66th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season. The Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur will host the game on Saturday (May 24).
The two teams have locked horns 34 times in IPL, with Punjab leading Delhi 17-16 in head-to-head contests. In their last meeting, the match was abandoned due to power and floodlight failures in Dharamsala on May 8.
The match was stopped with PBKS scoring 122/1 after 10.1 overs. Priyansh Arya smashed a quickfire 74 runs off 34 balls with the help of six maximums and five boundaries. Meanwhile, Prabhsimran Singh remained unbeaten on 50 off 28 deliveries, comprising seven boundaries. The duo put on a 122-run stand for the opening wicket.
The same match has been rescheduled after the IPL was abandoned due to cross-border tensions between India and Pakistan. Whether the game will resume from the same juncture remains to be seen.
