Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Delhi Capitals (DC) are set to clash in the 66th match of IPL 2025 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on May 24, 2025. This fixture follows an earlier meeting between the two sides that was abandoned midway due to technical difficulties and heightened security concerns, stemming from increased tensions between India and Pakistan. At the time of suspension, PBKS were cruising at 122 for 2 in 10.1 overs.
PBKS have already secured a spot in the playoffs, collecting 17 points from 12 matches. They now aim for a top-two finish, and a win in this match could potentially lift them to the top of the table. Meanwhile, DC have been knocked out of playoff contention after their recent defeat to Mumbai Indians. With 13 points from 13 games, Delhi will be playing for pride and aiming to close their season on a positive note.

Sawai Mansingh Stadium, a venue renowned for its balanced surface that can favour both batters and bowlers depending on the match conditions. Early in the game, fast bowlers might find some assistance with seam movement, while spinners are likely to make an impact during the middle overs. As the game progresses, the pitch generally becomes more favourable for batting, allowing stroke-makers to play more freely in the second innings. Notably, teams chasing have historically enjoyed a clear edge here, suggesting that the captain winning the toss is likely to opt for bowling first. With the possibility of dew setting in during the latter stages, defending a total could prove to be a tough challenge.
