The 66th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 will feature a compelling encounter between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals on Saturday in Jaipur . 

Punjab Kings have already secured their position in the playoffs, but they would be hoping for a top-two finish heading into this match. Now, with aspirations of advancing further, they would aim to bolster their performance in this fixture.

Key players like Prabhsimran Singh, Shreyas Iyer, Priyansh Arya and Nehal Wadhera have been instrumental in their journey, contributing significantly with the bat. Prabhsimran Singh’s consistency at the top of the order and Iyer’s composed middle-order batting have provided Punjab with solid foundations.

In the bowling department, Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal and Marco Jansen have been absolutely phenomenal. They again will be keen to exploit the conditions, aiming to help the side down DC. Fine-tuning their strategies in this match will be crucial for Punjab as they prepare for the high-stakes playoff encounters ahead.

Delhi Capitals, having been knocked out of the tournament, approach this match with a focus on pride and performance. The sudden downfall of DC has been a big setback for them. Starting their campaign with four victories on the bounce, DC have only been able to win two of their last eight games. For them, this match now serves as an opportunity to end their campaign on a high note by delivering a strong performance.
