In recent years, the Punjab Kings (PBKS) have failed to meet expectations, especially considering their impressive performance in the 2014 season where they reached the finals but lost to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). This was largely due to the outstanding partnership of Maxwell and Miller. Conversely, Delhi Capitals (DC) reached their inaugural final in 2020 and secured a playoff spot in 2021, but faltered in 2022, failing to advance to the final four. Their disappointment continued into the 2023 season when they were the first team to be eliminated after a loss to PBKS in a league match held in Delhi.
