PBKS vs DC Live Score, IPL 2025: Punjab Kings host and Delhi Capitals in Jaipur in a repeat of the match that had to be suspended and they replayed. This rematch comes after their May 8 clash in Dharamsala was abandoned due to security concerns during an India-Pakistan military conflict, where PBKS had raced to 122/1 in 10.1 overs before the abrupt cancellation. This replay, though, has little significance for DC, who are already out of the playoff race. For PBKS, who are already through, play for the Qualifier 1 spot. With Gujarat Titans and Royal Challengers Bengaluru dropping points, PBKS can go top and ensure a Top 2 finish.

PBKS vs DC Commentary
PBKS vs DC Match Preview
Punjab, qualifying for playoffs for the first time since 2014, have been powered by uncapped Indian batters. Prabhsimran Singh (319 runs) and Priyansh Arya (305 runs) provide explosive starts, while Nehal Wadhera and Shashank Singh anchor the middle order. Captain Shreyas Iyer (435 runs, SR 174.69) leads a historic batting unit featuring five players with 250+ runs at 150+ strike rates.
DC, despite a strong start (5 wins in 6 games), collapsed post-suspension, winning only 1 of their last 7 matches. KL Rahul (504 runs, SR 148.67) remains their key batter, but Axar Patel’s potential absence (injury doubt) weakens their balance.
