Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals meet in the 55th match of IPL 2026 at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala, where cool air and altitude can help the quicker bowlers.
Punjab’s likely XI includes Prabhsimran Singh, Cooper Connolly, captain Shreyas Iyer, Shashank Singh, Suryansh Shedge and Marcus Stoinis, with Marco Jansen, Lockie Ferguson, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Arshdeep Singh and Yuzvendra Chahal in the attack.
Delhi are expected to field KL Rahul, Pathum Nissanka, Nitish Rana, Sameer Rizvi, Tristan Stubbs and Ashutosh Sharma, with either Abishek Porel or Vipraj Nigam in one slot. Axar Patel leads, and Mitchell Starc, Kuldeep Yadav, Lungi Ngidi and T Natarajan form the bowling group. Power-hitters can target the shorter straight boundaries, and slower balls and yorkers should be vital at the death.
