Punjab vs Delhi on May 8

Punjab Kings will take on Delhi Capitals in the 58th match of the Indian Premier League. This match will be played at Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association in Dharamsala. 74 matches will be played across 13 cities over the next two months as the IPL fever kicks off. Qualifier 1 and the Eliminator will be played in Hyderabad on May 20 and 21, respectively. Qualifier 2, on May 23, and the final on May 25, will be in Kolkata. Punjab Kings are third in the table with seven wins and three losses in eleven matches. They beat Lucknow Super Giants in the previous match at the same venue and will be keen to continue their good form. On the other hand, Delhi Capitals are fifth in the table with six wins and four losses in eleven matches. Their previous match against Sunrisers Hyderabad ended in a no result due to rain. This promises to be a closely fought game between these two sides. 

Best economical pick – Young PBKS opener Priyansh Arya has been in a sensational form in the ongoing IPL 2025. He has scored 347 runs in ten innings 

Top captains & vice captains – Punjab Kings' skipper Shreyas Iyer could be the best batter in the upcoming game against Delhi Capitals. With 405 runs in his last 11 matches, Iyer is one of the best performers for his side in the tournament. Coming off a decent knock against LSG, the right-handed batter will be hopeful to attack the Delhi bowlers similarly. The stylish right-handed batter KL Rahul has made 381 runs in the last ten matches he has played so far for DC. He will be expected to continue his solid form in this game.

Smart pick – Punjab Kings’ Arshdeep Singh could be the best bowler in the upcoming game. With 16 wickets in his 11 matches, Arshdeep is the fourth-highest wicket-taker in the competition, and his performance could be crucial against DC. In the previous game, the left-arm pacer ran through the LSG top-order and took three wickets under the powerplay.

Cautious Pick – Karun Nair had a spectacular start to IPL 2025 with a blazing 89 off 40 balls against Mumbai Indians, but his form has been inconsistent since, with two ducks and only one other notable score (44 off 10 balls), while his other innings have been modest or low-scoring. Given this patchy performance, it may be wise to avoid selecting him in your fantasy team.

My XI –  Shreyas Iyer (Captain), KL Rahul (Vice-Captain), Priyansh Arya, Arshdeep Singh, Prabhsimran Singh, Josh Inglis, Yuzvendra Chahal, Abishek Porel, Tristan Stubbs, Axar Patel, Faf du Plessis
