Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals are next up for a collision in match 66 of Tata IPL 2025 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, which will be the home venue for Punjab Kings’ next two games. The Punjab Kings are already in the playoffs and would be hoping to continue with their rich vein of form to stand a chance of finishing among the top 2.
Delhi Capitals, on the other hand, have already been eliminated from the playoffs after a demeaning loss to Mumbai Indians by 59 runs the other night. Despite a promising start to their campaign with 5 wins from 6 matches, Capitals failed to make the most of a positive start and succumbed to as many as 5 losses, 1 win, and an abandoned game from their next 7 fixtures.
DC were in a terrific position at one stage during the tournament when they needed just 2 wins from their next 6 matches, but spoiled their impressive start and are now eliminated from the tournament. With this being their final game of the season, the Capitals will surely look to finish on a high.
Let’s delve deeper into this post for the PBKS vs DC Dream11 prediction.

PBKS vs DC, Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur, Pitch Report
The Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur has been known for its batting-friendly conditions, but in IPL 2025, it has shown a more balanced nature, assisting both batters and bowlers. While the surface allows batters to settle and accelerate as the innings progresses, spinners have found considerable turn and grip, making the middle overs crucial for the bowling teams. The short boundaries provide opportunities for aggressive stroke play, allowing for high-scoring matches.
However, dew in the second innings could make bowling trickier, giving the chasing side an advantage. With these conditions in mind, teams winning the toss may prefer to bowl first, ensuring they have a better grip on the game during the latter stages. A target of 180+ is expected to be competitive on this surface, given the nature of the pitch. This clash between the Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals promises to be an exciting battle, with both teams looking to capitalize on the conditions.
