IPL 2025, PBKS vs DC: The IPL 2025 match between the Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals in Dharamsala was off on Thursday due to security reasons following air raid alerts in nearby areas, which forced a blackout in the hill town. The Punjab side was 122 for 1 in 10.1 overs when the lights went out which at first was attributed to floodlight failure. But later the teams and the spectators were evacuated from the stadium for their security. Prabhsimran Singh was batting at 50 off 28 balls while his opening partner Priyansh Arya made 70 off 34 balls before getting dismissed by pacer T Natarajan before proceedings came to a halt....Read More

PBKS vs DC IPL 2025 Live Updates, Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals: It had gone down, almost disappeared entirely, and then increased in intensity, and now it is going down again.

PBKS vs DC IPL 2025 Live Updates, Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals: 'You need to find ways to be effective,' says Mitchell Starc
PBKS vs DC IPL 2025 Live Updates, Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals: Mitchell Starc had a conversation with the broadcasters and it was aired a few minutes back. Here is what he said: “(On the challenges of playing the IPL) You got all the best players in one spot, it’s pretty relentless at times with all the travel and play. One of those days where you compartmentalize and get on with the job. Be attacking - that’s been my role in many formats for many times. I try and be aggressive, swing the ball and make inroads. Try and adapt to conditions as quickly as we can. With the impact player rule, you have to try and think outside the box and think a step ahead. If it’s not swinging you need to find different ways to be effective. As bowlers collectively, people have found that, some have done it better than others. (Yorkers) Comes down to execution, some days it’s going to work and some days it isn’t. Some days you’re going to bowl an over and get the team over the line and some days the batter is going to get you. Been around for long enough to be a goldfish really, think about the next game really quickly. Sometimes you’re going to miss and sometimes you’re going to hit six in a row. Unfortunately, it’s not going to happen every time.”
PBKS vs DC IPL 2025 Live Updates, Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals: Rain has gone down…
PBKS vs DC IPL 2025 Live Updates, Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals: In fact, it has pretty much stopped. And well, just as iI type it, we see some more droplets coming down gently. This could be a longish wait you know.
PBKS vs DC IPL 2025 Live Updates, Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals: TOSS DELAYED!
PBKS vs DC IPL 2025 Live Updates, Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals: And well that pitch that Kartik and Hayden spoke about is under covers. Toss has been delayed and it is still drizzling.
PBKS vs DC IPL 2025 Live Updates, Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals: Pitch report
PBKS vs DC IPL 2025 Live Updates, Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals: Murali Kartik and Matthew Hayden on the pitch report today. This is what they say: Some rain-clad mountains, there's a bit of rain in the air. Last game, it was pitch 4, we are on pitch no. 6 but it looks very similar. Dimensions - 61m and 68m square boundaries, 75m down the ground. When we have a look at the surface, it is dry, slightly more cracks, it's got that very abrasive nature to it. Last match here, it did turn a little bit more in the second innings but it's a big-scoring ground. Expect lots of runs. Punjab got 236 the other night and then 199 in defence. Delhi have world-class spinners, it might be worth setting (a target) and then spin will come into play.
PBKS vs DC IPL 2025 Live Updates, Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals: IT'S DRIZZLING IN DHARAMSHALA!
PBKS vs DC IPL 2025 Live Updates, Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals: As stated earlier, no telling where the weather could go. Live visuals from the ground shows that it is drizzling. Shreyas Iyer can be seen in his match clothes. Meanwhile, musician B Praak is performing at the venue at the moment
PBKS vs DC IPL 2025 Live Updates, Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals: The weather at the moment...
PBKS vs DC IPL 2025 Live Updates, Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals:… seems to be suitable for cricket. It is overcast but doesn't look like rain will come any time soon. But then all that could be complete hogwash and it could rain cats and dogs right when the match is set to start, or before. Who knows with the weather. Not even those with big instruments and access to satellites.
PBKS vs DC IPL 2025 Live Updates, Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals: DC's incredible early run... and their drop-off
PBKS vs DC IPL 2025 Live Updates, Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals: Delhi Capitals' start to the season looked too good to be true. Every single department of their lineup was clicking like the most beautifully arranged symphony as they went about beating LSG, SRH, CSK and RCB in their first four matches. Then came a shock defeat to MI, who at the time were yet to go on the incredible run they are on at the moment but that was followed by a Super Over win against RR. Both those two matches showed the chinks armour and sure enough, they lost another to GT. That was followed by a second win against LSG, which was their last win. DC went on to lose to RCB and KKR and well, they were lucky to not crash to a humiliating defeat to SRH after being limited to 133/7, with rain forcing a no-result.
PBKS vs DC IPL 2025 Live Updates, Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals: Punjab Kings break Dharamshala drought
PBKS vs DC IPL 2025 Live Updates, Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals: DC would be especially wary of the fact that they are facing a Punjab Kings who are absolutely flying after their victory against LSG in their last match at a stadium where they had lost each of their last four fixtures. Arshdeep Singh's opening burst is what broke LSG's back and a jitterly DC top order will now be in his sights.

PBKS vs DC IPL 2025 Live Updates, Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals: If Delhi Capitals win all of their remaining three matches, they qualify for the playoffs regardless of other results. Punjab Kings, on the other hand, need to win two of the next three games to get there.
PBKS vs DC IPL 2025 Live Updates, Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals: KL Rahul's form drops off
PBKS vs DC IPL 2025 Live Updates, Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals: This season was being spoken of as the one in which KL Rahul's shows his full range in T20s at long last after his initial performances.

Since then, though, his scores and strike rate have been on a steady decline.
PBKS vs DC IPL 2025 Live Updates, Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals: Chances of rain?
PBKS vs DC IPL 2025 Live Updates, Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals: A washout would be of no use to either side and it will spice up the playoff race.

PBKS vs DC IPL 2025 Live Updates, Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals: PBKS hit an opening gold mine
PBKS vs DC IPL 2025 Live Updates, Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals: Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya have never really come anywhere close to being selected for India in any format.

PBKS vs DC IPL 2025 Live Updates, Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals: Faf du Plessis hasn't been in the greatest of touches since returning to action after recovering from a groin injury.

PBKS vs DC IPL 2025 Live Updates, Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals: DC's run out troubles
PBKS vs DC IPL 2025 Live Updates, Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals: Running between the wickets has been more of an issue for DC this season than any other team. It is a statistical fact. DC have suffered nine run-outs in IPL 2025, while no other team have more than five
PBKS vs DC IPL 2025 Live Updates, Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals: Head to head records
PBKS vs DC IPL 2025 Live Updates, Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals: Punjab Kings lead the head to head but only just. They have won this fixture 17 times to DC's 16. DC lead PBKS 5-2 since the 2021 season while both the teams have won twice each at the venue.
