The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 match between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Delhi Capitals (DC) is set to be replayed in its entirety today, 24 May, at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. The PBKS vs DC match was originally set to be played on 8 May, but was abandoned due to security concerns. (Preview | Scorecard)
However, instead of cancelling the match and sharing the points between the two teams, the BCCI has instead decided to start the match from the beginning. The previous match was stopped with the scoreline at 122/1 in 10.1 overs for PBKS, but it will not be counted.
The original fixture was being played at Dharamshala, right before the flare-up of hostilities between India and Pakistan. The match was abandoned after the failure of the stadium floodlights, which coincided with air raid alerts in nearby areas.
As a result, today’s match has been shifted to Jaipur upon resumption, with the BCCI opting for wholesale venue changes after the resumption of IPL 2025 on 17 May.
With both teams originally in the race for the playoffs, the decision was made not to cancel the match, but now, Delhi Capitals have been eliminated from playoff contention after losing to Mumbai Indians (MI).
However, DC can still spoil PBKS’ party, denying them a spot in the top two with a win in tonight’s game.
The Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals match will be played tonight, 24 May 2025, from 7:30 PM IST.
