Punjab vs Delhi, Live Score, Match 55, Indian Premier League, 2026

Madhav Tiwari to Priyansh Arya, OUT! STRAIGHT UP AND CAUGHT! A big moment for the youngster as he is rewarded with a wicket in the very first over. Madhav lands it fuller and outside off, and this one curves away late from the left-hander. Arya looks to loft it inside out, but slices it high towards deep point due to the movement. Gets no timing at all and Sahil Parakh takes a simple catch in the deep. Tiwari probed the batters and has picked up his maiden wicket in the IPL. PBKS are 97/2 in 9 overs.

Mukesh Kumar to Prabhsimran Singh, OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Mukesh strikes and breaks the opening partnership. On a back of a length, nipping back in from middle. Prabhsimran Singh looks to play the pick-up shot, but has little room to work with. Ends up shanking it off the higher part of the bat to deep backward square leg. The ball dips on Auqib Nabi at the mentioned position, but he does well to dive forward and cleanly scoop the ball before the ground. Prabhsimran Singh struggled throughout his stay to time the ball, and he now walks back to the dugout. PBKS are 78/1 after 6.5 overs.

Madhav Tiwari to Cooper Connolly, OUT! CAUGHT! Madhav Tiwari has his man. Madhav takes pace off and bangs it in short, on off. Cooper Connolly tries to drag the pull in front of square on the leg side but he fails to get on top of the bounce. Skies it high towards deep mid-wicket, where David Miller settles under it and gobbles it up. The 83-run stand has been broken. PBKS are 180/3.

Mitchell Starc to Marcus Stoinis, OUT! CAUGHT! Mitchell Starc strikes on his return to the attack. Angling across, on a back of a length, on off. Stoinis frees his arms and spanks it with a horizontal bat. He picks the bones out of it, but hits it flat to extra cover. Madhav Tiwari, stationed on the edge of the ring, makes no mistake as he takes a safe catch around his waist. Punjab Kings are 187/4, 11 balls left in the innings.

Mitchell Starc to Shashank Singh, OUT! TAKEN! Two in two for Mitchell Starc. A golden duck for Shashank Singh. 180/2 becomes 187/5 for the Kings. Across off, on the fuller side. Shashank Singh hangs deep in the crease and with mid off inside the circle, he looks to go up and over that man. He fails to get any sort of elevation and Axar Patel at mid off snaffles it.

Arshdeep Singh to KL Rahul, OUT! CAUGHT! Marco Jansen holds onto it. Arshdeep Singh strikes now, and DC have been dealt a big blow. Hits the back of a length, on middle and leg. Rahul presses back and swivels a bit to play more of a jab rather than the pull. The ball stands up on the batter and a top edge is found. It goes high in the air towards the deep fine leg region. The man in the deep is a bit square and hence, the keeper, Prabhsimran Singh and Marco Jansen from slip go after it. Jansen gets to the ball first and extends his hands out in front to take a good catch whilst getting on his knees.

Yash Thakur to Abishek Porel, OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! The middle stump has been uprooted. The change of angle does the trick for Yash Thakur. Switches to around the wicket and slips in a good-length ball at the sticks at 143.2 kph. Porel brings his bat out in front, looking to force it down the ground. The ball comes in off the deck to beat him on the inside edge. It goes through the bat and the pad gap, and Porel hears the death rattle. DC are 10/1, chasing 211.

Arshdeep Singh to Sahil Parakh, OUT! CAUGHT! Third wicket in the Powerplay for the Punjab Kings. The youngster's stay has been cut short. Parakh shows his cards early as he comes down the track. Arshdeep adjusts by pulling the length back and angling it into the body of the batter. Parakh arches back, looking to play the ramp. He fails to get the elevation, and it goes low to short third. Yuzvendra Chahal gets low to take the catch and the ball threatens to pop out of his grasp but he manages to hold on close to his body.

Ben Dwarshuis to Axar Patel, OUT! TRISTAN STUBBS IS RUN OUT! A complete miscommunication between the two batters and Stubbs pays the price for it. Aimed at the stumps and it nips in a touch on a length. Axar tries to block it down the pitch, but gets a thick inside edge and the ball rolls off his pads towards backward point. Stubbs wants the single and is through, but Axar is going nowhere and hence, Tristan is forced to retreat. Cooper Connolly from backward point moves swiftly and sees Stubbs more than halfway, struggling to make it back, and scores a direct hit at the bowling end. Stubbs puts in a dive but is found well short. Stubbs is absolutely fuming as this partnership was building nicely for the Capitals. DC are 74/4.

Marcus Stoinis to Axar Patel, OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Punjab Kings strike back. A relief on the face of Marcus Stoinis on the completion of the catch. Understandable given the catching woes this season for Punjab. It is the slower one, floated up to the batter by Stoinis, around off. Axar collapses his back knee to launch it down the ground. He is early into the stroke and gets the height but not the distance. It goes only as far as long on, where Ben Dwarshuis settles under it but opts to take the catch low to the ground and makes no mistake. DC are 138/5, needing 73 more runs to win.

Ben Dwarshuis to David Miller, OUT! STRAIGHT UP AND TAKEN! A big, big moment in the game. Good length around off. Miller waits for the slower one and goes for the pull without footwork, getting a top edge that flies straight up in the air. The keeper, Prabhsimran Singh calls for it and runs a long way forward into the short cover region. Keeps his eyes locked on the ball and dives forward to complete a fine catch. A brilliant knock from Miller comes to an end. He is furious with himself for not getting the job done for his team. Delhi Capitals are 170/6, needing 41 runs from 21 balls.

Yash Thakur to Ashutosh Sharma, OUT! MISTIMED IN THE AIR AND CAUGHT! Is there another twist left in this game? Superb catch under pressure by the sub fielder, Praveen Dubey. Short and wide outside off, a well-directed bouncer hitting a good height. Ashutosh shuffles across the stumps, takes it on with the pull but doesn't quite get hold of it. Ends up top edging it to wide long on. Praveen Dubey covers a lot of ground to his right and pulls off a fantastic running catch. Delhi Capitals are 205/7, needing 6 runs from 7 balls.
