Punjab Kings created history chasing 265 runs in the IPL 2026 clash against Delhi Capitals, as they won the match at canter by six wickets.

Arun Jaitley Stadium witnessed something special as the PBKS batters made a mockery of the total, finishing the match in style.

Prabhsimran Singh scored 76 off just 26 deliveries, while Shreyas Iyer remained unbeaten on 71 off 36 to take his home with ease. Earlier, Prabhsimran and Priyansh Arya took off in style from the get go.

Auqib Nabi conceded 14 runs in the first over and Mukesh Kumar conceded 21 in the very next, thus giving PBKS the perfect launchpad in the run chase. Priyansh and Prabhsimran added 116 runs in the powerplay. Arya, who plays for Delhi domestically, scored 43 off 17 balls before he was dismissed, with 2 fours and 5 sixes in his knock.

DC vs PBKS: Preity Zinta's adorable punch to Priyansh

And after the match, a special moment between Preity Zinta and Priyansh Arya has left the fans in splits. Preity Zinta went into the ground after the victory and was congratulating the players. During that time, she met Arya and gave a hug to the 24-year-old. Immediately after that, Zinta launched an adorable punch to Priyansh's abdominal area.

Although it was a playful punch, rather than a poke, Priyansh felt the full force and was captured screaming in pain. He shouted back 'Madam, jor se laaga' (Madam, it hurts) as the commentators couldn't also help but laugh at it.

With the win, Punjab Kings have consolidated their position at the top. They now sit with 13 points after seven matches, continuing their unbeaten streak at the halfway stage of the IPL 2026 season.
