Match number 58 in IPL 2025 will feature Punjab Kings taking on Delhi Capitals in Dharamshala on Thursday night. At this stage of the tournament, Punjab Kings are second in the table with 15 points from 11 games. Delhi, on the other hand are fifth in the table with 13 points from 11 games. It is a huge game for Delhi in particular if they have to keep their hopes of making it to the playoffs.
Punjab Kings began their Dharamshala leg of IPL 2025 with a massive win over Lucknow Super Giants on Sunday night. Prabhsimran Singh was the best batter for the home side with his knock of 91 that helped PBKS score a mammoth score of 236. This is the first time the two sides are meeting this season and a win for PBKS will take them closer to the top two spot.
On the other hand, Delhi have to win the game having seen their form flounder in the last few games. Axar Patel and his side had a day to forget with the bat in their last game against Hyderabad where they were reduced to 29 for five at one stage. If it wasn’t for the 41-runs scored by Tristan Stubbs and Ashutosh Sharma, then things could have bee different. In the end, rain meant that the game was abandoned and DC escaped with a point.
Here are the milestones that can be achieved in the PBKS vs DC IPL 2025 game
