PBKS vs DC - when and where to watch, venue, most likely playing XIs, full squad details, Pitch Report, Weather and more
Punjab will be hosting Delhi in their new stadium and this is the first that they will be playing an IPL game at the venue. The Shikhar Dhawan-led side finished eighth in the points table last season but with some new additions in the upcoming season, the side will be looking to forget the past and start fresh in the 17th edition. Punjab has never lifted the trophy as the closest they have reached is the finals in 2014 edition, when they lost to Kolkata Knight Riders to finish as runners-up.
On the other hand, the Capitals also had a poor campaign in the 2023 season as they finished at the ninth position under David Warner's leadership. Pant, who has been away from action due to an accident in 2022 that sidelined him for over a year, will be looking to make a brilliant comeback. Capitals are also a team that has never been crowned champions. In 16 editions, they have reached the finals only once, in the 2020 season, but fell short and were defeated by the mighty Mumbai Indians.
