When these two teams met the last time in the Indian Premier League 2025, the match was called off due to unforeseen circumstances and the players were evacuated from the Dharamsala Stadium.

Punjab Kings were batting first in that match, and their in-form opening duo of Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya had built a solid stand, with the team eyeing a colossal total.

However, the match was called off, and now it will be replayed. PBKS would once again look to replicate the magic created by openers in Dharamsala, but this time at a new venue.

A lot has changed since that match on May 8, as the top four teams have already been finalized, with Punjab Kings being one of them, and the Delhi Capitals, who were once hot contenders for the top two finish, have been knocked out.

DC will now just aim to finish their campaign on a high, but PBKS have a lot to play for, with the top two teams yet to be finalized. Shreyas Iyer-led side need to win their remaining matches against DC and MI to seal a top-two finish and get two bites at the cherry, but things won't be easy for them.

Talking about the head-to-head record between the Punjab Kings and the Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League history, PBKS hold a very slight edge of 17-16 over DC. Also, one match between the PBKS and DC got tied in the Indian Premier League.
