PBKS vs DC: Punjab Kings in danger of missing out on IPL 2025 Qualifier 1 spot

With PBKS losing to DC, the IPL 2025 playoff spots race gets more interesting.

PBKS vs DC: The Delhi Capitals have made a big dent in PBKS’ hopes of booking one of the first two spots for the IPL 2025 playoffs. Chasing a target of 206 runs, Delhi were reeling at the half-way stage after losing three big wickets. However, Karun Nair and Sameer Rizvi took on the challenge to complete a sensational chase with six wickets in hand and three balls to spare.

With PBKS losing to DC, the IPL 2025 playoff spots race gets more interesting, with all four teams in contention to take the first two spots after the group stage.

DC opted to bowl

Earlier in the match, Delhi Capitals won the toss and opted to have a bowl first on a very good-looking Jaipur track. Even after losing Priyansh Arya early, PBKS did not let the run-rate slow down as Josh Inglis (32 off 12 balls), Shreyas Iyer (53 off 35 balls) and Marcus Stoinis (44 off 16 balls) made valuable contributions with the bat. The duo of Shashank Singh and Nehal Wadhera also got a start but they failed to cash in.

In the bowling, Bangladeshi pacer Mustafizur Rahman was the pick of the bowlers as he scalped 3 wickets in his four overs spell. Vipraj Nigam and Kuldeep Yadav took two wickets each while pacer Mukesh Kumar removed Wadhera for his one wicket.
