Punjab Kings continued their unbeaten run in IPL 2026 by chasing down a target of 265 against Delhi Capitals. Shreyas Iyer’s unbeaten 71 and Prabhsimran Singh’s quickfire 76 helped PBKS secure a six-wicket victory with seven balls to spare. Earlier in the day, K.L. Rahul’s unbeaten 152 off 67 balls propelled DC to 264 for two, the highest total in the tournament’s history. Despite Rahul’s heroics, PBKS dominated with a 126-run opening partnership between Prabhsimran and Priyansh Arya in just 6.5 overs. Prabhsimran’s aggressive batting set the tone for Punjab as they raced to 116 for no loss after six overs. Shreyas Iyer’s calmness under pressure ensured PBKS reached the target comfortably, despite losing quick wickets. Both teams were guilty of dropped catches, with DC missing chances to dismiss key batsmen. The match was marred by an unfortunate injury to Lungi Ngidi, who was unable to continue bowling for DC. The thrilling encounter showcased the attacking prowess of both teams, with Punjab Kings emerging victorious in the end.
