Punjab Kings have chased down a 265-run target with seven balls to spare! This is an unbelievable victory by the side, which remains unbeaten in IPL 2026. They won the game against Delhi Capitals by six wickets. This is the highest successful run-chase by a team in IPL history. PBKS have broken their own record of 261 against KKR in 2024.

Punjab Kings are cruising towards victory. T Natarajan was smashed for 16 runs. Shreyas Iyer hit a six and a four before Shashank Singh got a thick outside edge to beat short third for a boundary. PBKS need 23 off 18 balls.

This was an eventful over from Kuldeep Yadav. Shreyas Iyer was dropped once and ended up smashing the spinner for three sixes and one four. A total of 23 runs came off the over. Iyer also raced to his half-century. Punjab Kings need 39 off 24 balls. This is their game to lose.

15.2 - Karun Nair has dropped Shreyas Iyer again! He has dropped the Punjab Kings captain for the second time in three balls. On this occasion, Iyer miscued Kuldeep Yadav's delivery to long-on. Nair settled under it, but the ball slipped out of his hands once again.

14.6 - Shreyas Iyer has been dropped at long-off. He miscued a delivery from Vipraj Nigam. It was an easy catch for Karun Nair. He took a couple of steps inside but dropped the sitter. Punjab Kings could not believe it.

OUT! Nehal Wadhera loses his wicket after smashing two fours off Vipraj Nigam. He found the fielder at long-off after the bat flipped in his hands while playing a big shot. Punjab Kings need 64 runs off 33 balls.

PBKS 201-4 (14.3)

Sixteen runs came off T Natarajan's second over. Punjab Kings need 72 off 36 balls. They will back themselves to chase this down, with Shashank Singh, Marcus Stoinis and Marco Jansen yet to come.

PBKS 193-3 (14)

Only four runs came off the final over of Axar Patel. He didn’t concede any boundary in it. The Delhi Capitals spinner ended his quota of four overs with figures of 1 for 44. The asking rate for Punjab Kings is now 12.43.

PBKS 177-3 (13)

Kuldeep Yadav was hit for 12 runs in his third over. Shreyas Iyer slammed the spinner for a six on the first ball and then showed superb maturity by dealing in singles and doubles. Punjab Kings need 92 runs off 48 balls.

PBKS 173-3 (12)

Vipraj Nigam pitched it up and Shreyas Iyer smashed it for a six down the ground. It went 80 to metres. Iyer then took a single to retain strike. Fourteen came off the over. Punjab Kings need 104 runs off 54 balls.

PBKS 161-3 (11)

OUT! What a game this is turning out to be! Delhi Capitals are back in the contest with three wickets at short intervals! They have reduced PBKS from 126/0 to 146/3. Kuldeep Yadav has bowled Cooper Connolly this time around. Punjab Kings need 120 runs off 64 balls.

PBKS 146-3 (9.3)

8.1 – Chance missed! Cooper Connolly has been given a lifeline. Mukesh Kumar got an easy catch on the leg side, but he made a mess of it. The fielder took it well inside the boundary line but then slipped back and touched the cushion with his foot. The TV umpire called it a six.

OUT! Kuldeep Yadav has dismissed Prabhsimran Singh! The right-handed batter missed his reverse sweep and was hit on the pad. The umpire gave it out LBW. The PBKS opener reviewed it but failed to save himself. Two wickets in five balls for Delhi Capitals!

Prabhsimran Singh lbw b Kuldeep Yadav 76(26)

PBKS 132-2 (7.3)

OUT! Priyansh Arya is GONE! That is a huge breakthrough for Delhi Capitals. Their captain Axar Patel has dismissed the PBKS southpaw. It was a flatter delivery from the spinner and Priyansh hit it to the deep mid-wicket.

Priyansh Arya c Sameer Rizvi b Axar Patel 43(17)

PBKS 126-1 (6.5)

4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4 – Prabhsimran Singh finishes off the Powerplay in style for Punjab Kings! He smashes Mukesh Kumar for six fours. PBKS have scored 116 in the first six overs. They need 149 runs off 84 balls. The asking rate is 10.64. This is T20 cricket at its best!

PBKS 116-0 (6)

Prabhsimran Singh slammed Mukesh Yadav for a four on the off side to race to his half-century. He got there in just 18 balls. The right-handed batter followed it with yet another four as Punjab Kings raced to the 100-run mark.

PBKS 100-0 (5.2)

T Natarajan was handed the ball, and he didn’t disappoint his captain. The left-arm pacer bowled really well in his first over and conceded nine runs in it. Only one boundary came in the over, as Prabhsimran Singh smashed a four through the covers.

PBKS 92-0 (5)

Four sixes in the over! Prabhsimran Singh smashed three while Priyansh Arya hit one. This is an extremely expensive over from Auqib Nabi. He has leaked 27 runs in it. Punjab Kings are off to a flying start in the chase of 265.

PBKS 83-0 (4)

The action has resumed at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi. Axar Patel conceded a single to Prabhsimran Singh before being smashed for two sixes by Priyansh Arya. Twenty runs came off the over.

PBKS 56-0 (3)

Lungi Ngidi has been stretchered off, and the ambulance is taking him to the hospital. Dushmantha Chameera has come in as a concussion substitute. Play is about to resume.

The Delhi Capitals staff are talking to Lungi Ngidi. They are checking if he is responding well. This doesn't seem good to be very honest. After a brief period of time, an ambulance is entering the ground, and Ngidi is about to be stretchered off. Let's pray, all is well and he recovers quickly.

Priyansh Arya miscued an Axar Patel delivery high in the air. Lungi Ngidi backpedalled from mid-off and missed the catch, ending up hurting himself. The player fell to the ground, with the back of his head hitting the turf. The physio is checking on the player. It seems extremely serious.

PBKS 43-0 (2.3)

Mukesh Kumar came in to bowl the second over of the innings, and he leaked 21 runs in it. Prabhsimran Singh started with a six and then hit a four. Priyansh Arya was no less as he capped off the over with a six over deep square leg.

PBKS 36-0 (2)

It was a good-length ball outside off-stump, and Prabhsimran Singh clobbered it away for the second maximum of the over. The ball sailed over deep mid-wicket. A total of 15 runs came off it.

PBKS 15-0(1)

Priyansh Arya is off the mark with a SIX! It was a back of a length delivery from Auqib Nabi Dar and Arya slammed it away for a maximum. Punjab Kings have started their chase of 265 runs in Delhi's Arun Jaitely Stadium.

PBKS 6-0 (0.1)

Pinch yourself if you have just tuned in! KL Rahul has played a blinder at Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium. He brutally thrashed the Punjab Kings bowlers, scoring 152 not out off 67 balls. There were no signs of tiredness, even as the batter played his innings in the scorching Delhi heat. Arshdeep Singh removed Pathum Nissanka on the fourth ball of the third over, and that was the only time PBKS had something to rejoice. What followed was completely insane from DC, especially KL Rahul. He joined hands with Nitish Rana and forged a 220-run partnership off just 95 balls. Rahul smashed his ton in 47 balls and took just 19 more from there to cross 150. Rana too helped the team’s cause with 91 off 44 balls.

KL Rahul carries his bat with 152 not out off 67 balls! He has become the first Indian batter to score 150 or more in IPL history. Overall, Rahul is only behind Chris Gayle (175*) and Brendon McCullum (158). Delhi Capitals post 264/2.

Nitish Rana is out after scoring 91 off 44 balls. No mistake from Punjab Kings this time, as their skipper Shreyas Iyer himself takes the catch at mid-off. Rana wanted to play it over the fielder but failed to get the elevation. DC are two down.

Nitish Rana c Shreyas Iyer b Xavier Bartlett 91(44) 

DC 248-2 (18.3)

KL Rahul finishes the over of Marco Jansen with a four on the leg side. 12 came off the over. The way Rahul and Nitish Rana are smashing PBKS bowlers, even a 12-run over seems economical at this point.

DC 238-1 (18)

That is a good catch from Marcus Stoinis in the deep. Oh wait, the umpires are checking it. Yuzvendra Chahal bowled a full toss but Nitish Rana hit it on the leg side from the bottom of his bat. Stoinis dived at deep square leg and took the catch but his foot touched the boundary cushion. So that will be not out and a SIX instead. More misery for PBKS.

DC 226-1 (17)

6, 6, 6, 4 - Oh, dear KL Rahul! What are you doing there! Don't make batting look so easy. The batter toyed around with Vijaykumar Vyshak in the over, smashing him for three sixes and one four. 24 came off the over. Rahul moves to 126 off 54 balls. Could he surpass Chris Gayle's world record of highest runs (175 not out off 66 balls) in a T20 game?

DC 213-1 (16)

A four down the ground! KL Rahul has smashed his sixth IPL century and first one of the season! He gets there in 47 balls! This is the fastest ton by a DC batter. KL has broken the record of 48 balls jointly held by Virender Sehwag and Quinton de Kock. What a knock this bas been from the Delhi Capitals opener!
