PBKS vs DC Dream11 Prediction Today & Top Picks – IPL 2025 Match 66
Hello and welcome to PBKS vs DC Dream11 prediction, fantasy cricket tips, pitch report, and probable playing XI for Match 66 of IPL 2025.
Today’s match will be played between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur.
We have our four teams for the playoffs, but the top two teams haven’t been decided yet.
The league stage of IPL 2025 is nearing its end, and while Delhi Capitals are already out of the playoff race, Punjab Kings still have everything to play for.
Today’s match may not change DC’s fate, but for PBKS, it’s a crucial opportunity to climb into the top two of the points table.
Punjab Kings have played 12 matches, won 8, lost 3, and had one game washed out. With 17 points, they currently sit in 3rd place.
They’ve got two more matches to go, and winning both will take them to 21 points.
That opens up the possibility of finishing in either 1st or 2nd place, depending on how RCB performs, since both teams are in similar positions.
Punjab has really plugged the holes across departments. Their top order, led by Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh, has laid solid foundations.
Nehal Wadhera has stepped up beautifully in the middle order, showing maturity and intent. Shreyas Iyer has been a calm presence with the bat and as a leader.
Their bowling unit, particularly the pace attack, has done its job more often than not.
Marco Jansen, Xavier Bartlett, and Arshdeep Singh have picked up key wickets and applied pressure during the powerplay and death overs.
Even though Yuzvendra Chahal hasn’t bowled his full quota in many games, he’s been impactful in the overs he’s delivered, often breaking partnerships.
On the other side, Delhi Capitals have had a mixed season after winning some back-to-back matches and never quite picked up consistent momentum after that.
They’ve played 13 matches, won 6, lost 6, and had one game washed out. With 13 points, they are mathematically out of the playoffs, now sitting at 5th on the table, and will be playing for pride in their final match.
KL Rahul has been the standout performer for DC, scoring runs in different roles across the batting order. But the lack of support from others has hurt the team.
Faf du Plessis and Abishek Porel have been inconsistent, and that has made it tough for DC to build or chase targets with control.
A big blow came with Axar Patel’s injury, which left a gap in the all-round department.
Kuldeep Yadav, who is expected to be a strike bowler, hasn’t made the kind of impact DC needed, and the seamers have also been hit or miss throughout the tournament.
As things stand, the spotlight will be on Punjab Kings. They’ll be going all out to secure those two points and push for a top-two finish. Delhi, meanwhile, will be looking to spoil the party and finish the season on a high note.
