PBKS vs DC Dream11: Lineups, pitch report and score predictions for IPL 2026 match

Delhi Capitals are virtually eliminated, with five losses in their last six games. A DC defeat on Monday could confirm their exit from the IPL 2026 playoffs. IPL 2026 HUB: Latest IPL News | IPL Points Table | Team Stats | IPL 2026 Squads PBKS vs DC IPL 2026 at Dharamshala: Match Preview Shreyas Iyer's side rattled off six wins from their first seven outings and looked every bit like genuine title contenders.

Three consecutive defeats later, that early confidence has taken a visible knock. Monday's match at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala is a chance to stop the slide before it does lasting damage to their playoff hopes. For Delhi Capitals, the situation is considerably grimmer.

Four wins and seven defeats from eleven matches leave them with a maximum possible tally of 14 points, and the path to achieving even that requires winning every remaining game while hoping other results fall their way. They have lost five of their last six, and the confidence inside the camp is unlikely to be high.
