Sawai mansing stadium

Indian Premier League: On a surface that demanded adaptability and mental steel, Punjab Kings delivered a classic T20 innings, built on a mixture of composure and power-hitting, to post a commanding 206/8 against Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at the Sawai Mansing Stadium here on Saturday..

The foundation was laid by skipper Shreyas Iyer’s calculated fifty in the middle overs, but it was Marcus Stoinis’ late blitz that lifted PBKS past the 200-run mark — the 7th 200-plus total for the Kings in IPL 2025!

Put into bat, Punjab began cautiously. Mukesh Kumar bowled with swing and discipline, giving little away in the opening over. Priyansh Arya edged one to the deep third boundary, but PBKS soon suffered their first blow. Mustafizur Rahman accounted for Arya in the second over, inducing a top edge that was safely pouched. Arya and Prabhsimran Singh added just eight runs — PBKS’ third-lowest opening partnership of the season.
