DC struggles, PBKS unstoppable in IPL 2026 clash
25 Apr
Summary
- Delhi Capitals' top order struggles, impacting their batting consistency.
- Punjab Kings remain the IPL 2026's only unbeaten team so far.
- Axar Patel won the toss and chose to bat first for Delhi Capitals.

Delhi Capitals captain Axar Patel won the toss and elected to bat against the formidable Punjab Kings in their IPL 2026 match on Saturday. The Kings have been the league's sole unbeaten team, demonstrating impressive form throughout the season. Delhi, however, has experienced a mixed performance, starting strong but losing three of their last four matches. They currently occupy sixth place in the standings.
The Capitals are grappling with their top-order batting, as key players like Pathum Nissanka and KL Rahul have yet to find consistent form. The middle-order has also seen frequent changes, struggling to establish stability. Despite these challenges, Delhi has managed to post scores around 190 in recent games, even in their losses.
Conversely, Punjab Kings are in exceptional form, consistently chasing high totals and even setting the season's highest score. The return of Arshdeep Singh to form has further bolstered their bowling attack, solidifying their position as the current team to beat in IPL 2026.
