DC vs PBKS IPL 2026: Delhi Capitals return home, the Arun Jaitley Stadium, to face their toughest test of the IPL 2026 season so far. They will be taking on Punjab Kings, with the action kicking-off in some time. The Axar Patel-led side has been through a rocky campaign thus far, first winning two in a row, then losing back-to-back, bouncing back to defeat a defiant Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), but then being crushed by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). PBKS, on the other hand, walk into this fixture undefeated under skipper, Shreyas Iyer.

DC vs PBKS: IPL Head-To-Head Record

Delhi Capitals (formerly Delhi Daredevils) and Punjab Kings (formerly Kings XI Punjab) are two of the original eight IPL franchises. Notably, both are yet to win their maiden title.

The two franchises have faced-off 35 times in the tournament's history so far, and have 17 wins each with one game having ended without any result.

In their last five meetings (that were completed), DC have won thrice while PBKS have won twice. 

However, if we take current form into account, Punjab are firm favourites heading into this clash, while Delhi will have to put their best foot forward to have any chance of walking away with 2 crucial points.
