Punjab Kings face Delhi Capitals in IPL 2026, with PBKS on a three-game losing streak and DC nearly eliminated from playoff contention. A loss for DC could seal their fate in the tournament.
Key points
Punjab Kings have lost three straight matches.
Delhi Capitals have five losses in their last six games.
A loss for DC could confirm their exit from IPL 2026 playoffs.
Shreyas Iyer's side rattled off six wins from their first seven outings and looked every bit like genuine title contenders. Three consecutive defeats later, that early confidence has taken a visible knock.
Monday's match at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala is a chance to stop the slide before it does lasting damage to their playoff hopes.
For Delhi Capitals, the situation is considerably grimmer. Four wins and seven defeats from eleven matches leave them with a maximum possible tally of 14 points, and the path to achieving even that requires winning every remaining game while hoping other results fall their way. They have lost five of their last six, and the confidence inside the camp is unlikely to be high.
