Punjab Kings (PBKS) will be in action on Saturday evening as they take on Delhi Capitals (DC) in match no-66 of the Indian Premier League (IPL). There will be no home advantage for either team as the match will be played at Jaipur’s Sawai Mansingh Stadium.
PBKS are sitting third on the table, and irrespective of what happens in their next two games, they are guaranteed to play in the playoffs. However, Shreyas Iyer’s team will definitely be eying a spot in the top-two, which will give them two shots at playing in the mega final.
For DC, the slim hopes of making into the playoffs were dashed when they suffered a big 59-run defeat at the hands of Mumbai Indians.
IPL 2025 PBKS vs DC Pitch Report
The pitch at Sawai Mansingh Stadium is traditionally a balanced one, offering something for both batsmen and bowlers. The surface usually has decent bounce and allows stroke-makers to score freely, especially early in the innings. However, it tends to slow down as the game progresses, which could bring the spinners into play.
Since this is an afternoon game starting at 03:30 PM IST, heat will be a major factor. The dry and hot conditions in Jaipur can make the pitch drier and more abrasive, further assisting spinners and making run-scoring more difficult in the second innings.
