TEAMS PREVIEW
Punjab Kings Preview
Punjab Kings jumped to second place with a dominant 37-run win over Lucknow Super Giants, defending a hefty 236-5 in Dharamsala. Prabhsimran Singh was on fire with a 91 off 48—his fourth fifty this year—and now leads the team’s batting charts with 437 runs in 11 matches.
Their batting has been a strength all season. Prabhsimran and Priyansh Arya have started games with intent, though Priyansh has lacked consistency. Shreyas Iyer has anchored the middle overs well, scoring 405 runs in 11 innings at a strike rate of 170. He’s looked composed and remains a reliable option.
Nehal Wadhera has chipped in with quick cameos in the middle, striking at around 150. His scores haven’t been huge, but they’ve come at the right time. Josh Inglis slotted in at number three last game and hammered 30 off 14—he’ll likely stick to that role going forward.
Marcus Stoinis is a hit-or-miss type but dangerous in the slog overs. Shashank Singh has quietly handled the finishing job and has turned games around late with the bat.
Arshdeep Singh has been the wrecker-in-chief with the ball for Punjab with 16 wickets in 10 innings at an economy of 8. He’s fresh off a match-winning spell of 3-16 against LSG and will be itching to do well again here at Dharamsala. Marco Jansen has struggled, and there’s not much backup available.
Yuzvendra Chahal tends to leak runs when he’s off his game, which releases the pressure and adds more pressure on the others. But if he and Arshdeep click together, Punjab could dominate again.
PBKS Over/Under Betting Tips
In the last match against LSG at Dharamsala, Iyer scored 45 runs after playing a match-winning knock of 72 runs against CSK last week. He is in sublime form and has accumulated 405 runs in 11 matches. Given his current form and the expectation of a good batting track, he is the best player to bet on in this fixture, and we back him to score over 28 runs.
Prabhsimran Singh is making the much needed impact for Punjab Kings at the right time. He has scored 91, 54, 83 & 33 runs in the last four matches and has been untroubled by any bowler. If he gets past the first 3 overs of the powerplay he is hard to contain and given his current form, we back Prabhsimran to score over 23 runs against the Capitals.
Punjab Kings Predicted Playing XI:
Priyansh Arya, Prabhsimran Singh, Shreyas Iyer (c), Josh Inglis (wk), Shashank Singh, Nehal Wadhera, Marcus Stoinis, Azmatullah Omarzai/ Xavier Bartlett, Marco Jansen, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh Impact Player: Suryansh Shedge/ Harpreet Brar

Delhi Capitals Preview
Delhi Capitals are still in the playoff hunt—six wins, four losses, and currently in fifth. They caught a lucky break in their last outing against Sunrisers Hyderabad. After stumbling to 133-7 while batting first at Uppal, the rain came down just in time to hand both teams a point each, rescuing DC from what was shaping up to be a defeat.
DC got off to a flying start this season with five wins in their opening six games, but have stumbled since, managing only one win from the last five. With 12 points from 11 matches, there’s little room for error now. Dropping another game could make things messy, so this match carries some extra weight for them.
DC’s batting has done a decent job, though it hasn’t quite matched some of the top sides. KL Rahul’s been steady and aggressive when needed—381 runs from nine innings at a strike rate of 142.16. Abishek Porel has provided strong starts too, scoring 265 in 11 matches with a 150 strike rate.
Axar Patel has chipped in when things have looked shaky, adding valuable runs when the team needed someone to hold firm. Tristan Stubbs, further down the order, played a composed 41 off 36 against SRH when they were in serious trouble at 62-6. He’s racked up 259 runs across 11 innings at a healthy 151.46 and can be expected to contribute again.
Ashutosh Sharma has made the most of his chances late in the innings—his 41 off 26 against SRH was well-timed and helped DC stay afloat.
With the ball, Mitchell Starc’s been a bit expensive but has taken 14 wickets in 10 games and tends to break through at the right moments. Kuldeep Yadav has kept things tight in the middle with 12 wickets and a tidy economy of 6.74.
Vipraj Nigam has picked up nine wickets, though his economy is on the higher side at 9.48. Mukesh Kumar has also leaked runs but manages to find wickets. Axar continues to keep things calm with his spell, which suits these pitches well.
DC Over/Under Betting Tips
By his standards, Faf du Plessis has had an average season so far, scoring 168 runs in 6 matches at an average of 28. He is one of the clutch players who often comes up with match-winning knocks in crucial matches. With this being a must-win game for Delhi, we back Du Plessis to wield the willow and play an impactful knock.
Delhi Capitals Predicted Playing XI:
Faf du Plessis, Abishek Porel, Karun Nair, KL Rahul (wk), Axar Patel (c), Tristan Stubbs, Vipraj Nigam, Mitchell Starc, Dushmantha Chameera, Kuldeep Yadav, T Natarajan Impact Player: Ashutosh Sharma

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
Dharamsala's pitch holds onto the day’s heat even after sunset, keeping the bounce steady. Early on, the cold mountain air creates tricky swing conditions for about six overs, but once dew sets in, it turns into a problem for bowlers. Batting becomes smoother after that, and boundaries come easier. Slower balls grip around twilight but lose their edge later.
Expect cool weather overall, with a 62% chance of afternoon rain that could delay the start.

The average score batting first at Dharamsala is 188. In the first game of the season played at the venue, Punjab Kings smashed 236-5 batting first against Lucknow Super Giants and won the game by 37 runs. Both teams will target a score of around 210 to feel confident about their chances.
Total Over/Under Betting Tips
The last match played at Dharamsala was a high-scoring affair, with a total match score of 435. Expect a similar track for this fixture, where Punjab Kings will look to continue their good run of form, while Delhi Capitals will aim to regroup after a couple of poor batting performances and step up.

Toss: To Bat

PBKS vs DC
Winning Prediction
Punjab Kings have put together a strong campaign so far. They’ve been consistent and will be eager to carry that rhythm into the last phase of the league. Delhi Capitals, on the other hand, started well but have lost steam. This game is a must-win for them if they want to stay in the playoff race. A defeat here would make that job even tougher. Punjab are in a better spot but won’t want to take any chances—one more win should more or less seal their spot in the top four. Delhi’s hopes depend on their bowling stepping up big. Otherwise, Punjab seem like the more reliable pick.
We are picking Punjab Kings as the winners of this match.
