Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals Match 55 Highlight IPL 2026

Date:

What a game! If you missed Match 55 of IPL 2026 at the high-altitude Dharamshala stadium on May 11, you missed one of the most clinical run-chases in the tournament’s history. Delhi Capitals (DC) kept their playoff hopes alive by hunting down a massive target of 211, handing Punjab Kings (PBKS) their fourth straight defeat.

Here are the highlights from the PBKS vs DC thriller.


🏏 First Innings: Punjab Powerhouse

Punjab Kings got off to a flyer, taking full advantage of the true bounce in Dharamshala.

  • Priyansh Arya’s Blitz: Arya set the tone with a rapid 56 off 33 balls, including six towering sixes. He and Prabhsimran Singh (18) shared a 78-run opening stand in just 41 balls.
  • Captain’s Knock: Shreyas Iyer anchored the middle overs with a composed, unbeaten 59 off 36.
  • Late Fireworks: Suryansh Shedge provided the final punch, striking at a rate of 262.5 to help PBKS finish at a formidable 210/5.
  • Starc’s Impact: Mitchell Starc was expensive but turned the game briefly with back-to-back wickets of Marcus Stoinis and Shashank Singh in the 19th over.

⚡ The Chase: Delhi’s Middle-Order Rescue

Delhi’s chase started disastrously, slipping to 33/3 in the 5th over as Arshdeep Singh and Yash Thakur tore through the top order (dismissing KL Rahul and Abishek Porel early).

  • The Turning Point: Captain Axar Patel and David Miller resurrected the innings with a 64-run stand. Axar smashed 56 off 30, while Miller contributed a vital 51 off 28.
  • The Unlikely Hero: After Miller’s departure, debutant Madhav Tiwari showed incredible nerves. He smashed an unbeaten 18 off 8 balls, including a massive six in the 19th over.
  • The Finish: Ashutosh Sharma (24 off 10) and Madhav Tiwari capitalized on a 22-run 19th over from Yash Thakur to seal the win with 6 balls to spare.
