Punjab Kings Aim for Top 2 Finish Against Delhi Capitals

Punjab Kings Set for Crucial Match Against Delhi Capitals

As both Gujarat Titans and Royal Challengers Bengaluru faced setbacks against Lucknow Super Giants and Sunrisers Hyderabad, Punjab Kings find themselves in a strong position to secure a top-two finish, provided they avoid any missteps against Delhi Capitals in Jaipur this Saturday.

The previous encounter between these teams was marked by an unfortunate abandonment in Dharamsala due to security issues stemming from the escalating military tensions between India and Pakistan. On that night, PBKS was poised to achieve a significant score before the match was halted.

Following the IPL's resumption on May 17, Delhi Capitals suffered a defeat against Mumbai Indians, which effectively dashed their playoff aspirations, leaving MI, GT, RCB, and PBKS as the confirmed top four teams. Now, without their captain Axar Patel, DC aims to conclude their season positively while attempting to disrupt PBKS's ambitions of finishing in the top two.
