IPL 2025 Points Table: Latest Rankings after DC vs PBKS Match

Rizvi’s Fireworks Ignite Delhi’s Comeback, Punjab’s Top-Two Dreams in Jeopardy

In a thrilling clash at Jaipur’s Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Delhi Capitals stunned Punjab Kings with a 6-wicket victory that reshuffled the playoff narrative without shaking the points table—yet.

Punjab, eyeing a top-two finish, started strong. Shreyas Iyer led the charge with a classy 53 off 34 balls, while Marcus Stoinis lit up the death overs with a blistering 44* from just 16 deliveries, powering them to 206/8. Mustafizur Rahman kept Delhi in the game with a timely 3-wicket haul.

Delhi’s reply was steady from the get-go. KL Rahul smashed 35 off 21, and Faf du Plessis chipped in with 23. Karun Nair anchored the middle with a composed 44 from 27 balls. But the night truly belonged to Sameer Rizvi. With nerves of steel and a bat on fire, Rizvi bludgeoned an unbeaten 58 off just 25 balls, including five towering sixes. He finished the match in style with a maximum in the 19.3 over, setting off celebrations in the Delhi camp.

Despite the win, Delhi Capitals stay 5th with 15 points from 14 matches. Punjab Kings, still 2nd with 17 points, face a tense wait—with RCB and Mumbai Indians hot on their heels.
