Dharamshala, May 11: Delhi Capitals pulled off a thrilling three-wicket win over Punjab Kings in a high-scoring IPL 2026 clash that swung wildly from one side to the other before ending in dramatic fashion. Chasing a huge target of 211 at the HPCA Stadium, Delhi Capitals reached 216/7 in 19 overs after a tense contest filled with momentum shifts, big hits and crucial wickets.
Punjab Kings looked in control early after posting 210/5 in 20 overs. Young opener Priyansh Arya gave them a blazing start with 56 off 33 balls, while captain Shreyas Iyer anchored the innings with an unbeaten 59 from 36 deliveries. Cooper Connolly also played an important hand with 38 off 27 balls, and Suryansh Shedge’s late cameo pushed Punjab past the 200-run mark.
Delhi’s bowling struggled for most of the innings, with Mitchell Starc conceding 57 runs in his four overs. However, Madhav Tiwari and Mukesh Kumar picked up two wickets each to stop Punjab from getting an even bigger total.
The chase began in disastrous fashion for Delhi Capitals. KL Rahul, Abishek Porel and Sahil Parakh fell quickly as Punjab bowlers reduced Delhi to heavy trouble. Tristan Stubbs also could not convert his start, and the match appeared to be slipping away from Delhi.
