PBKS

Punjab Kings looked like serious IPL 2026 title contenders after winning six of their first seven matches, but a shocking second-half collapse ended their playoff hopes. Poor death bowling, costly fielding mistakes, and an overdependence on the top order proved to be the biggest reasons behind their downfall.

The Punjab Kings (PBKS), who have lost five games of the IPL 2026 in a row under the leadership of Shreyas Iyer, will face the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in a do-or-die clash for the playoffs spot.
