IPL 2026: DC vs PBKS playing 11, live toss and match time, streaming

The Delhi Capitals are set to take on the in-form Punjab Kings in Match 35 of the 2026 Indian Premier League at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi today. DC skipper Axar Patel has won the toss and has elected to bat first on the day.

 

Delhi Capitals head into this clash after suffering a 47-run defeat to Sunrisers Hyderabad, where their bowling unit struggled to make an impact, particularly against Abhishek Sharma, who dominated proceedings. With three wins and three losses from six matches, Delhi will be keen to bounce back and regain momentum as they aim to strengthen their playoff chances.

 

 

While the Capitals have shown balance in their victories, inconsistencies with the bat have hurt them at times, especially due to the lack of aggressive options in their lineup. Their bowling attack remains one of the stronger ones in the competition, but they are still awaiting the return of Australian pacer Mitchell Starc.

 

Punjab Kings, on the other hand, have been the standout team of the season so far, remaining unbeaten and sitting comfortably at the top of the table. They head into this match after a six-day break, following a convincing 54-run win over Lucknow Super Giants in Mullanpur.

 

Their opening duo of Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya has provided strong starts, while Shreyas Iyer has been in excellent form, registering three consecutive half-centuries before the LSG clash. The bowling unit has also looked sharp, contributing to their all-round dominance. However, all-rounder Cooper Connolly, who has impressed this season, has returned to Australia for scans on a back injury, leaving his availability for this match uncertain.
