Punjab Kings will look to arrest a three-match losing streak when they host Delhi Capitals in the IPL 2026 at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala. The hosts arrive with confidence after a strong opening phase, having won six of their first seven outings, and a win on their return to the hills could see them climb back to the summit of the points table. Delhi, meanwhile, are coming off defeats in their most recent two matches and now face a high-pressure, must-win situation as their postseason chances continue to narrow quickly. (Live Scorecard)
KL Rahul moves within touching distance of a rare IPL landmark
KL Rahul is close to a notable piece of IPL history. He currently stands one innings with a fifty-plus score away from reaching 50 such contributions in the league. Achieving that would make him the fourth Indian—and fifth overall—batter to reach the landmark. Rahul is also 114 runs short of the 5,000-run mark as an opening batter in IPL cricket.
