Has the match shifted to Ahmedabad?

18:30 Local Time, 13:00 GMT, 18:30 IST: Two teams that are separated by just two points and are in the top half of the points table will face off against each other today at a picturesque venue. Hello everyone and a warm welcome to the 58th match of the Indian Premier League. It's #3 vs #5. Punjab Kings come into this match on the back of two successive wins. They notched up a massive 37-run win against Lucknow Super Giants in their last outing here at the same venue in Dharamsala. A win tonight will take them to the top of the table and guarantee them a spot in the playoffs. However, Shreyas Iyer and Co. will be certainly eyeing a top-two finish. They have a settled line-up and hence come into this encounter as favourites.

Delhi Capitals kickstarted their campaign with four consecutive wins but they've lost the momentum after that with just 2 wins in their next 6 matches. It's fair to say that they got lucky in their previous outing as rain played spoilsport after they could muster just 133 while batting first. Their batting, especially the top-order, has let them down. They suffered collapse (29/5) against SRH losing their top five cheaply. DC have tried six opening pairs and they still don't seem to have got it sorted. Will we see another pair today? While this is technically not a must-win game, the Capitals will be eager to get back to winning ways and keep destiny in their own hands.

Avi: "As a Punjab fan, we have waited for more than 10 years to have such a day where playoff is possible with 2 games to play after this. Such an awesome feeling this is" -- Of course. But they might not find it easy against a DC side looking to break out of their recent rut.

Yes, Sunday's match is likely to be shifted.

4 hours ago — The IPL 2025 match between Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians, scheduled for May 11, is likely to be shifted from Dharamshala to Ahmedabad.

Mustafa Moudi : "Ponting-Iyer against DC is interesting. Also, Former Axar and KL Rahul are former Punjab players !!" -- And, du Plessis, expected to open the batting for the Capitals tonight, won the St Lucia Kings, a sister franchise of the Punjab Kings, the CPL title last season. Not to mention Karun Nair has also played for the Punjab-based franchise in the past.

Pitch Report | Murali Kartik and Matthew Hayden: Some rain-clad mountains, there's a bit of rain in the air. Last game, it was pitch 4, we are on pitch no. 6 but it looks very similar. Dimensions - 61m and 68m square boundaries, 75m down the ground. When we have a look at the surface, it is dry, slightly more cracks, it's got that very abrasive nature to it. Last match here, it did turn a little bit more in the second innings but it's a big-scoring ground. Expect lots of runs. Punjab got 236 the other night and then 199 in defence. Delhi have world-class spinners, it might be worth setting (a target) and then spin will come into play.

6:47pm Indian musician B Praak is performing at the venue in Dharamsala right now, but he seems to be doing so amidst a slight drizzle, which are visible on the television screen. Rain was forecast and it seems to have arrived promptly, and fingers crossed that this passes over soon. Well, scratch that earlier update, because this rain seems a little more than a slight drizzle now, and the square seems to have been covered too. No word yet on if the toss is going to be delayed.
