PBKS vs DC LIVE Score, IPL 2026: After winning the toss, DC captain Axar said, “We will be bowling. That's the thing that's going right (winning the toss), in the matches, we haven't won those crucial moments, either with bat, ball or in the field, otherwise we haven't played that badly. We will play our brand of cricket and don't worry about the result. Win or lose, we'll look to play a good brand of wicket. It's a fresh wicket, the new ball might do a bit and we want to let them bat first. Five changes for us.”

Meanwhile, PBKS skipper Iyer said, “Honestly, you can't tell a lot about the pitch until you play on it. Go out there and perform,. We don't want to think too much about the points table, just focus on your ability and instincts - that's what we have not done well in the last few games, we haven't backed our instincts and do well under pressure. There are going to be ups and downs, it's all about how quickly you go past it. Ben Dwarshius comes in place of Lockie Ferguson, who has a slight niggle.”

PBKS vs DC LIVE Score, IPL 2026: Speaking ahead of the match, DC assistant coach Bell said, “It's been amazing to have him around, the presence he has. We obviously know his quality, and we watched it through the Ashes as well, how good he is. It's great to have him halfway through. We would have loved him from the first game, but injuries do happen. I'm sure he'll really enjoy these conditions. It's a shame in the last couple of games we haven't given him enough runs to really affect the game with the ball, which has been disappointing from our point of view.”

“He's brilliant with his knowledge for the younger cricketers, not just bowlers but batters as well. He's a proper professional, works extremely hard. When you watch him in the nets, he's at full tilt. He doesn't cruise through sessions. When you watch the top players, the way they train is absolutely fantastic, and it's great for the younger players to see how they go about their business,” he added.

I think the strategy is going to be what it normally is every game in this tournament: the captain who wins the toss bowls. But we have looked at the numbers and there is a little bit leaning towards batting first, but we'll have to assess the conditions when we get here tomorrow.”
