IPL 2025, Match 58: PBKS vs DC - Playing XIs Status

PBKS' top-order batting is their biggest asset, along with their Indian bowlers Arshdeep Singh and Yuzvendra Chahal. Punjab Kings’ all-rounders need to play more effective roles, while Shashank Singh is their only present dependable name in their middle-order batting. PBKS are unlikely to make any important changes in the squad for this upcoming match.  

Delhi Capitals' batting line-up has a lack of big scores, which is their major issue this season. Also, their main bowlers, Mitchell Starc and Kuldeep Yadav, have recently struggled without a lack of strong support from other bowlers. DC may make some crucial batting name changes for the match.
