The 58th match of the ongoing IPL 2025 will be played between Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings. Both teams haven’t played each other in the tournament yet and will play again only if they qualify for the playoffs together. So far, the Kings have played 11 games, won seven, lost three and shared a point with the defending champions, Kolkata Knight Riders.
Talking about DC, they have played 11 games, won six, lost four and shared a point with 2016 winners, Sunrisers Hyderabad recently. They need to win at least two out of three remaining games to qualify for the playoffs. However, that won’t be easy as they have fallen off the track after starting the tournament well. Not to forget, Punjab will play one of the quickest wickets in India, i.e Dharamshala.
