The 66th match of IPL 2025 between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Delhi Capitals (DC) is scheduled to be played today, Saturday, May 24, at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. The match will begin at 7:30 PM IST, while the toss between the two captains – Shreyas Iyer and Faf du Plessis – will take place at 7:00 PM. Axar Patel is still unlikely to be fit for this match, which means Faf du Plessis is expected to lead the team again.
This is a crucial game for Punjab Kings to stay in the race for a Top-2 finish. If PBKS manage to defeat DC today, Shreyas Iyer’s team could climb to the No.1 position on the points table. Let’s take a look at the pitch report and match stats.
