Dharamsala, May 8 (UNI) The toss for Match 58 of the Indian Premier League 2025 between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals has been delayed due to a wet outfield at the picturesque HPCA Stadium here on Thursday evening.
Match officials have scheduled an inspection at 8:00 PM IST to assess conditions before taking a call on the start of play.
Both teams, currently in the top half of the points table and separated by just two points, are eyeing crucial wins as the league stage nears its business end. Punjab, placed third, have momentum on their side after back-to-back victories, including a commanding 37-run win over Lucknow Super Giants at the same venue.
A victory tonight will not only propel Punjab Kings to the top of the standings but also secure them a spot in the playoffs. Delhi, currently fifth, led by Axar Patel, are also in strong form and are pushing for a top-two finish — a position that offers a second shot at qualifying for the final.
Fans will be hoping for the rain to stay away as two in-form sides gear up for what promises to be a high-stakes encounter.
