IPL 2021: DC vs PBKS, Match 11 Live Updates: Punjab Kings, Delhi Capitals face off in Mumbai

Bengaluru, April 18: Delhi Capitals stormed to a six-wicket victory over Punjab Kings as they successfully pulled off the second highest run chase at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday.

After electing to bowl in the second match of the first double-header of the 14th IPL season, the Capitals bowlers were hammered by Punjab openers KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal. Birthday boy Rahul and Agarwal stitched together an opening stand of 122 off 77 to hand Punjab a flying start at the Wankhede.

At one point Punjab looked set to ease past the 200-mark. But a couple of quick wickets in the middle slowed down the Punjab innings. A quickfire 15 off 5 by Shahrukh Khan in the end saw Punjab Kings set a big target off 195.

But the Delhi openers made short work of the target as they chased it down effortlessly. Shikhar Dhawan and Prithvi Shaw scored a quickfire 59 off 33 for the opening stand.

Dhawan was the outstanding batsmen as he led from the front with a blistering 92 off 49. Marcus Stoinis played the finisher’s role as he played an unbeaten 27 off 13 to take Delhi to their second win of the season.

The Capitals chased down the total with ten balls to spare. Mohammed Shami bore the brunt of the bowlers as he leaked 53 runs in his four over spell.

With Sunday’s win, Delhi have now won two and lost one. Meanwhile, Punjab have lost two on the trot after winning their opener.
