Preview:
While the Delhi Capitals have nothing to lose after being officially knocked out of IPL 2025 playoffs, Punjab Kings still have a lot to gain despite sealing their spot in the top four. With the top two spots still up for grabs, the Punjab Kings will want to keep their momentum going at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.
The Capitals have only two more matches to go in this edition and will hope to find answers about what they can do better the next season. Axar Patel could return for the fixture after missing the crucial game against the Mumbai Indians due to illness. However, it's both batting and bowling that the Capitals need to rise their performance in, having missed out on reaching the playoffs despite starting the season with four consecutive wins.
Punjab Kings, on the other hand, have got all their bases covered as they showcased during the ten-run victory over the Rajasthan Royals. However, their bowling performance might still need some improvement, especially with the playoffs fast approaching.
