Preview:
Punjab Kings (PBKS) will be taking on Delhi Capitals (DC) in the match 66th of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, on Saturday, May 24. PBKS have won eight out of their first 12 matches in the tournament, losing only three, making the playoffs in the IPL 2025, but they still would want to finish in the top two and have a couple of cracks at reaching the final.
On the other hand, Delhi Capitals have gone completely off the boil after a great start to their IPL 2025 campaign, which is why they missed out on reaching the playoffs, but still, they have plenty to play for in the tournament. Let’s have a look at fantasy cricket tips, pitch report, probable XIs, captain, vice captain and more ahead of the PBKS versus DC IPL 2025 66th match.

PBKS vs DC, IPL 2025 Match 66: Top Players to pick
Shreyas Iyer: Shreyas Iyer has been in scintillating form with the bat in the IPL 2025, complementing the openers Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya wonderfully well.
Arshdeep Singh: Arshdeep Singh is the leader of the PBKS bowling attack, taking the responsibility of bowling the tough overs up front and in the death, finding success more often than not.
KL Rahul: KL Rahul hasn’t been quite at his best in comparison to the exceptional form shown by him earlier in the IPL 2025 season, but he has the ability to put a big score on the board on a regular basis.
Axar Patel: Axar Patel has the big responsibility of leading DC in the IPL 2025, but despite that, his performances with the bat and ball this season have been quite good.
PBKS vs DC, IPL 2025 Match 66: Players to avoid
Vijaykumar Vyshak: Vijaykumar Vyshak isn’t a regular feature in the PBKS playing XI in the IPL 2025, but he often bowls a few overs off the bench as an impact substitute.
Karun Nair: Karun Nair has gone completely off the boil after an impressive fifty on his IPL return, which is why there is a scope of avoiding him in the fantasy team this time.
