In the 55th match of the Indian Premier League 2026, Delhi Capitals will face Punjab Kings at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala.
The Capitals had a very poor performance in IPL 2026, with only four wins in 11 matches. After being restricted to 142/8 by Kolkata Knight Riders at the Arun Jaitley Stadium and then taken to the cleaners by Finn Allen, who scored a century in 47 balls, they will need a miracle to make the playoffs.
Here is the strongest predicted DC XI for Match 55 vs PBKS:
Top order: KL Rahul (wk), Pathum Nissanka, Nitish Rana
KL Rahul And Pathum Nissanka have been the two pillars of the Delhi team in 2026 despite their poor season. It was Punjab Kings against whom Rahul scored 152 runs in the reverse fixture at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. He has scored 468 runs in 11 matches at a strike rate of 180.
Nissanka has found form in the last few matches and was the only positive for the team by scoring a half-century against the Knight Riders. He has scored 278 runs at a strike rate of 158.86. Nitish Rana has been a reliable presence at No. 3 since his return to the team. He played a supporting role in Rahul's attack against the Kings in the season opener, scoring 91 runs off 44 balls. He has scored 225 runs in nine matches at an average of 151.01.
