IPL 2025, PBKS vs DC Updates

Authorities abandoned the IPL 2025 match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals after 10.1 overs due to a “significant technical failure” at HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala. IPL Chairman Arun Dhumal called off the game as a precaution after Jammu authorities issued a red alert. Officials evacuated fans, players, and staff immediately; many players left the stadium still wearing batting pads.

Punjab Kings had started strongly, scoring 122/1 in 10.1 overs. Opener Priyansh Arya smashed 70 off 34 balls, while Prabhsimran Singh remained unbeaten on 50. Rain delayed the toss earlier in the day, pushing back the start of play.

IPL 2025, PBKS vs DC: Spectators leave the stands after authorities evacuated the stadium during the Indian Premier League cricket match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals at Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala.

PBKS were chasing victory in the game against Delhi knowing that a win could make them the first team to confirm top four playoff spot. Both teams has been around since the inception of the IPL, 18 years ago — albeit with different names — but have never won the title. If that has to change this season, the first step would be to secure a spot in the IPL playoffs.

After the draw, Punjab Kings still sit third with 16 points from 12 matches, while Delhi are in 5th spot with 14 points. Shreyas Iyer’s side are on the same number of points as the top 2 sides, Gujarat Titans and Royal Challengers Bengaluru. But a win today would have taken them to the top with 17 points.

PBKS vs DC IPL Match Most Runs

PBKS batter Priyansh Arya scored 70 runs off 34 deliveries, hitting five fours and six sixes.

Match Most Wickets

DC pacer T Natarajan (1/4) took one wicket.

Match Overview

The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will be locking horns with Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the iconic MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Wednesday, April 30.. The two sides faced each other in the 22nd Match of the season, which Punjab won by 18 runs.

The home team has won just one out of their last five matches at home. Furthermore, in the entire season, they have managed to come out victorious on two occasions and are currently languishing at the bottom of the table. With five more games remaining this season, finishing in the top four looks unlikely, however, they will look to play their best brand of cricket in the coming matches and finish on a high.

Meanwhile, PBKS have won five out of their nine matches so far, and are sitting in the fifth position in the tally with 11 points. Their last game against Kolkata Knight Riders was hampered by heavy showers, eventually leading to a no-result. The Shreyas Iyer-led team will have to give an extra push if they wish to find themselves in the top four. With the competition increasing as the tournament reaches its final month, PBKS have to find a solution to win matches consistently.

MA Chidambaram Stadium Pitch Report

The Chepauk pitch has traditionally helped spinners, with conditions becoming more favourable for them as the match progresses due to the surface slowing down. Dew may influence the pitch’s behaviour, particularly during the latter stages of the game. So far, five games have been played at this venue this season, with teams bowling first winning on three occasions.

Total Match Played: 144
Batting First Won: 74
Batting Second Won: 68
Tie: 02
Average 1st innings Score: 159

Weather Report

The weather forecast is expected to be partly cloudy and humid. There are no chances of rain during the game. The temperature is likely to be around 33°C with 73% humidity.

Player battles to watch out for in CSK vs PBKS, Match 49 in IPL 2025:

1. Rachin Ravindra vs Arshdeep Singh

2025 IPL BETTING

INDIBET BETTING APP

The left-hander Rachin Ravindra is set to face left-arm seamer Arshdeep Singh, one of the best in T20 cricket, in a do-or-die match for CSK. Rachin will look to go on the attack during the powerplay, taking on the bowlers early, while Arshdeep aims to swing the ball both ways. The two youngsters have faced each other only once in T20 cricket, where Rachin scored 9 runs off 8 balls against Arshdeep without being dismissed.

2. Shreyas Iyer vs Noor Ahmed

Punjab captain Shreyas Iyer is set to face Afghanistan’s premier spinner Noor Ahmad on the turning tracks of Chepauk—conditions that could test Iyer’s skills against spin. The two have never faced each other in T20s before, but this matchup could play a crucial role in determining the outcome of the game.

Prediction

Punjab Kings are riding high on exceptional form and a string of recent victories. Their batting has been explosive this season. Whereas Chennai Super Kings have endured a disappointing season marred by inconsistency and underperformance.

Hence, PBKS are favourites to win this clash.

PBKS vs KKR Preview:

KKR:

Kolkata Knight Riders came up short against Gujarat Titans in their previous encounter—the 39th match of the 2025 IPL. Batting first, Gujarat posted an impressive 198 for 3, thanks to standout knocks from Shubman Gill (90 off 55) and Sai Sudharsan (52 off 36). Gill was later named Player of the Match for his commanding innings.

In response, KKR couldn’t keep up with the required rate and fell short of the target. Ajinkya Rahane top-scored with a steady 50 off 36 balls, while Angkrish Raghuvanshi chipped in with a quick unbeaten 27 off 13. Vaibhav Arora and Harshit Rana picked up a wicket each, but it wasn’t enough. Prasidh Krishna and Rashid Khan both took two wickets as Gujarat sealed a comfortable 39-run win.

KKR vs PBKS Pitch Report:

Eden Gardens in Kolkata offers a balanced pitch, providing pace and bounce early on for fast bowlers. As the game progresses, the pitch slows down, favoring spinners with some turn. The outfield is quick, making it ideal for high scores, but batting can become tricky as the match wears on. Dew may also assist chasing teams in the second innings.

KKR vs PBKS Weather Report:

The weather at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, on April 26th at 7:30 PM is expected to be warm and humid, with a temperature around 27°C (81°F). There’s no significant chance of rain, so the match should go ahead without interruptions.

Match Overview

Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are all set to lock horns in the 37th match of the ongoing IPL 2025. The match is scheduled to be contested on Sunday, April 20, at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur. Notably, the two sides faced each other less than 48 hours ago in a rain-curtailed fixture in Bengaluru. The Shreyas Iyer-led side registered a five-wicket win in the 14-over match.

The Punjab franchise has looked impressive this season and is currently riding high on confidence after two brilliant wins. With five wins in seven games, they now sit in the second position in the points table with 10 points and a positive NRR of 0.308. The side would hope to register another win before having a five-day gap for their next match.

For RCB, this will be a revenge game, and they will be happy to take on the same opposition to prove their brilliance. For the Rajat Patidar-led side, their home ground performances have been contrasting to their away games. With four wins on the road, RCB has lost all three games at home.

Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur Pitch Report

The pitch at Mullanpur will continue to offer a potential high-scoring encounter between the two strongest batting sides of the season. It is expected to be an identical surface with only a few dry patches. The bowlers need to be careful with their lengths as anything too full or too short can be punished, as the ball comes onto the bat nicely, especially when over-pitched. Fast bowlers who hit the hard length will get the most out of this track.

Despite having some grass in the middle, the surface has been hard and has not changed much from previous seasons. Wickets here tend to remain consistent across the 40 overs, so captains will back their batters to put up or chase down totals.

Stats and trivia

Chahal’s 52 wickets are the most in the IPL at the Chinnaswamy.
PBKS have the best run rate (11) in the powerplay this season. RCB (10.4) are second.
Arshdeep Singh dismissed Phil Salt twice in the recent T20I series between India and England in January
Hazlewood (5.4) and Bhuvneshwar Kumar (6.2) lead powerplay economy rates this season, helping RCB record the best dot-ball percentage at 50.9% in this phase

2025 IPL BETTING

INDIBET BETTING APP

PBKS vs RCB Probable Best Performers

Probable Best Batter: Nehal Wadhera

Left-handed batter Nehal Wadhera could play a critical role in the forthcoming game against RCB. Wadhera is the third-highest run scorer of his side, having so far accumulated 184 runs in six games at an average of 46.00. Just a day earlier, against the same opposition, the southpaw played an unbeaten innings of 33 and guided his side to their fifth-win of the season.

Probable Best Bowler: Yuzvendra Chahal

Yuzvendra Chahal will be keen to help his side in the upcoming clash against the Bengaluru-based franchise. The star leg spinner, after having going wicketless in the first few games, has found his rhythm back and is looking solid. In the last two games, Chahal has picked six wickets, taking his overall tally to eight scalps. In the game against KKR, he single-handedly with a four-wicket haul, taking his team to the winning side in a match which always looked in Kolkata’s favour.

Today’s Match Prediction

Team batting first to win the match

Scenario 1

Punjab Kings win the toss and bat
PP Score – 65-75
PBKS- 215-230
Punjab Kings win the match

Scenario 2

Royal Challengers Bengaluru win the toss and bat
PP score – 55-65
RCB- 200-215
Royal Challengers Bengaluru win the match

RCB are slight favourites to win this clash, given their familiarity with the conditions and better recent form. But if PBKS can dismiss Kohli early and capitalize in the powerplay, the tide could turn.
