Punjab Kings (PBKS) started IPL 2026 strongly, winning six of their first seven matches, but have now lost three consecutive games. They are under pressure with only four matches remaining and need to earn three more points to qualify for the playoffs.
The team is struggling with their bowling, which has not performed well. Additionally, their fielding issues have been significant, with Shashank Singh dropping several easy catches.
On the other hand, Delhi Capitals (DC) have also faced challenges, winning just one of their last four games. They can now finish with a maximum of 14 points and must rely on other teams’ results.
