Delhi Capitals will be aiming to sign off their IPL 2025 campaign on a high note with a win against PBKS. Axar Patel and co. created an unwanted record after losing to MI in what was a must-win encounter in order to make it to the playoffs. DC have nothing to lose and could instead dent PBKS’ chances of staying in the top two by handing them an upset on Saturday

Captain Axar Patel had missed the previous game as he was ill. It remains to be seen if he will be available for the game against PBKS. All-rounder Vipraj Nigam was also seen struggling while batting in the game against MI. DC will hope that the duo of Vipraj and Axar will be fit and available for their final league stage game.
Mitchell Starc’s absence has impacted DC as his replacement Mustafizur Rahman has failed to create any impact whatsoever. However, DC are expected to continue with the same bowling line-up.
Once again, all eyes will be on KL Rahul as the team will hope he can replicate his knock from the game against MI and add another century to his name.
