Delhi Capitals vs Punjab Kings – IPL Match 35 Highlight – 25 Apr, 2026

This one… felt tighter than it probably should’ve been. Delhi Capitals vs Punjab Kings not a crazy high-scoring game, but the tension? Yeah, that was there till the end.

Delhi came out to bat and looked… okay. Not explosive, not struggling either. Just somewhere in between. A few good shots, some neat partnerships, but nothing that really took the game away. It always felt like they were building towards something bigger, but wickets at the wrong time kept pulling them back.

Still, they managed to post a competitive total. The kind that keeps both teams in the game.

Punjab’s chase started with a bit more urgency. A couple of early boundaries, decent intent… but then came the wobble. Quick wickets, pressure building, and suddenly it wasn’t that simple anymore.

From there, it turned into a scrap. Dot balls, risky shots, fielders in play… proper T20 tension. One partnership tried to steady things, but Delhi kept striking back just enough.

In the end, it came down to nerves. And Delhi… just held theirs better.
