The IPL 2025 is now into its last phase of the league stage and every game from hereon is important for the teams that are still in the race for a playoff berth. Thus, the match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals is a crucial one for both the teams as two points can go a long way in securing that playoff place.

Which Team Will Be In Trouble If PBKS vs DC IPL Match Gets Abandoned Due To Rain?

However, the toss has been delayed due to rain, and if it continues, the match might get washed out in Dharamsala. The drainage system is good but if it gets washed out, both the teams will get one point each. Punjab Kings will move to 16 points while DC will reach 14 points. 

  • Thus, Punjab Kings will equal RCB and GT with 16 points, but they will stay at the third position with net run-rate inferior to the two teams above them. 
  • Delhi Capitals, on the other hand, will equal Mumbai Indians' tally of 14 points, but will stay behind MI on account of the inferior net run-rate. 
  • Thus, in an ideal world, both teams would like to get two points as Punjab have a chance to move at the top with win, while DC have a chance to get over Mumbai Indians.
  • Looking at the points table, Punjab Kings' playoff position is not likely to affect much if the game gets washed out. However, it could affect their top-two chances. Delhi Capitals, on the other hand, could get in a tricky position if they get only point from the game. 
  • They would then have to win two games to guarantee themselves a playoff berth. If they lose any one of those, they would be stuck at 16 points, and with their net run-rate less than all the teams above them, they could miss out on the playoff berth due to net run-rate.

Overall, MI would benefit if the game gets washed out as both teams would be within their grasp if they win their two matches. RCB and GT would also would be happy with the washout as it would keep Punjab Kings in check, and their chances of finishing at top-2 would increase.
