The Punjab Kings take on the Delhi Capital at Jaipur's Sawai Mansingh stadium in Match 66 of the Indian Premier League.
After Royal Challengers Bengaluru's 43-run defeat against the Sunrisers Hyderabad on Friday, PBKS have leapfrogged the former to second place thanks to a better net run rate.
They will look to take advantage of the situation with a win today, that will massively help the Punjab side in their quest for a top-two finish in the league.
Standing in their way is DC, who have only pride to play for. The Delhi side is fifth in the table with 13 points from as many matches, and will look to sign of IPL 2025 with a win.
The two sides have met each other 33 times in the IPL and the Punjab side have a slight edge. This will be the first time the two sides meet in Jaipur.
