Delhi Capitals will square off against the Punjab Kings in the 59th match of the 2023 season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). The Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi will play host to this encounter.

Delhi Capitals are placed at the bottom of the points table. They have managed to win only four games out of 11 and suffered their seventh loss in their last previous fixture against the Chennai Super Kings.

Mitchell Marsh picked up three wickets as they restricted the Super Kings to 167/8 in the first innings. In reply, the batters faltered as they finished their innings on 140/8 to lose the game by 27 runs. The Capitals can still qualify for the playoffs if they win their remaining games comprehensively and other results go their way.

Punjab Kings, on the other hand, have won five of their 11 games this season. They are struggling for momentum and suffered a loss on the last ball against the Kolkata Knight Riders in their previous outing.

Batting first, the Kings posted 179 on the board, with Shikhar Dhawan leading from the front by scoring 57. The bowlers then took the game to the last over and with two needed off the last ball, Arshdeep Singh conceded a boundary as they lost the game by five wickets. Punjab Kings need to get back to winning ways quickly to stay alive in the competition.
