Commentary
Covid-hit Delhi Capitals notched up a morale-boosting win against the Punjab Kings at the Brabourne Stadium on Wednesday.
After being shifted to Mumbai from Pune, the match came under further doubt with Tim Seifert testing positive on Wednesday. But DC put their off field troubles at bay as they put up a comprehensive show with both bat and ball to clinch a 9-wicket victory over Punjab Kings.
With the Delhi spinners restricting Punjab to a paltry 115, the Capitals made a mockery of the target as they chased it down with 57 balls to spare.
Prithvi Shaw and David Warner scored 81 runs in the powerplay, as opposed to DC's 47/3. Rahul Chahar handed PBKS the first and only wicket - Shaw's (41 off 20) wicket, but the damage was done as DC needed only 33 off 81. 100 for the Capitals came up in just 8.5 overs.
Warner hit his 53rd IPL half-century off just 26 balls as Delhi romped to their third win of the season.
Earlier, after being sent into bat first, Punjab struggled to build partnerships as the DC spinners spun a web to bowl out PBKS for just 115. The openers put up an opening partnership of 33 off 22, which turned out to be Punjab's highest partnership of the match. On a day when the Punjab batsmen failed to fire, Jitesh Sharma top scored for the side with 32 off 23.
The Delhi spinners put up a sizzling show as Kuldeep Yadav, Lalit Yadav and Axar Patel pocketed two wickets each.
FOUR! Rahul Chahar to David Warner. Leg spinner back of a length, to leg on the back foot pulling, well timed past deep square leg for 4 runs. Easy win for Delhi Capitals as they grab the win by nine wickets. The openers, David Warner and Prithvi Shaw gave an excellent start to their run chase. For Punjab Kings, Rahul Chahar managed to pick up the only wicket for his team. Kuldeep Yadav is adjudged as the Player of the Match for his explosive performance with the ball. Cheers!
