Punjab Kings (PBKS) will be aiming to end their losing streak as they take on Delhi Capitals (DC) in Match 55 of the Indian Premier League 2026 (IPL 2026) on Monday, May 11, at Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamsala. After maintaining an unbeaten seven-match streak, PBKS have lost their last three fixtures and have slipped from the top to third position on the IPL 2026 points table.
On the other hand, Delhi Capitals (DC) have had a season to forget, reeling at the eighth spot, with four wins from 11 matches, having eight points. The Axar Patel-led side started their campaign with back-to-back wins in the first two matches, but have gone astray, winning just two out of their last nine matches.
With both teams on a losing streak, they will be eager to bounce back on the winning track in the upcoming fixture to revive their campaigns.

Players to watch out for in PBKS vs DC
Prabhsimran Singh
The PBKS opener has had quiet outings in the last two fixtures, being dismissed for 15 and 3, respectively. After a few batting failures, the onus will be on Prabhsimran to get his team off to a blazing start and help them post a big score to get out of their losing rut.
Axar Patel
While the DC skipper has failed to fire with the bat, he has emerged as his team’s most successful bowler with ten wickets from 11 innings at an average of 29.10 and an economy of 8.08. Patel will again look to inspire his team to a much-needed win and lift the spirits in the dressing room.
