DC vs PBKS: Live Score and Update
DC vs PBKS: Spiners lead a spirited comeback win!
Rahul Chahar and Harpreet Brar have led an incredible comeback with the ball in the middle phases. The middle overs yielded 50 runs and 6 wickets! It was Prabhsimran Singh who took Punjab Kings to a defendable total and it was the spin-duo who helped in defending the total after Warner’s blistering fifty! PBKS have defeated DC by 31 runs! This loss means DC are eliminated! They are the first team to be eliminated from the competition!
DC vs PBKS: DC haven’t given up!
Harpreet Brar soon knocked over Manish Pandey to claim his fourth wicket and have DC 88/6. At this point, Aman Hakim Khan and Pravin Dubey were in the middle! They are consolidating things and hitting boundaries whenever an opportunity arises! They are keeping the runs ticking! DC are 115/6 after 15 overs and need 53 runs from 30 balls! Will we see a twist in the tale?.. PBKS would hope they break the partnership soon!
DC vs PBKS: PBKS spinners fight back!
One brings two, two brings three! Punjab King have 5 wickets since the powerplay!! DC have went 69/0 to 86/5 in 18 balls! David Warner smashed his 60th IPL fifty but was trapped in front by Harpreet Brar! Brar has picked 3 and R Chahar has picked 2 wickets! Punjab Kings are in the driving seat now!!! DC are 88/5 after 10 overs, needing 80 runs in 60 balls. Capitals in dire need of partnership!!
Impact Player (DC): Manish Pandey walks out to bat and he is DC’s Impact Player, replacing Khaleel Ahmed.
DC vs PBKS: DC off to a flier!
Warner is nearing a fifty and striking the runs at 228.57. DC bossed that powerplay, and they have given themselves a very good chance of chasing this total down. If they continue batting this way, they will do it at a canter. Punjab Kings need wickets and they would their spinners to spin a web around the dangerous DC batting order! DC are 65/0 after 6 overs.
Impact Player(PBKS): The centurion Prabhsimran Singh steps out, Nathan Ellis steps in as an impact player!
STATS!!
- DC have lost 7 wickets in the first over in IPL 2024!! BIZZAREE!!
- Warner loves batting against PBKS! He once smashed 9 consecutive fifties against them (2015-2020)!
DC vs PBKS: PBKS set DC 168 to chase!
The PBKS innings just fizzed out after Prabhsimran’s dismissal! They scored 13 runs in the last two overs. But having lost three in the powerplay, They would accept this score! It was the centurion Prabhsimran Singh delivering just what the doctor ordered! He stood tall in an otherwise sorry looking batting line-up! His hundred has ensured Punjab Kings have something to defend as they end with 167/7 in their 20 overs.
The target for Delhi Capitals is 168 runs from 120 balls. The pitch isn’t easy, there was some help for spinners, so this won’t be easy! But if dew sets in, DC must fancy chasing it! However, they would look to start strong in the powerplay just like they did against RCB!
Maiden IPL Hundred for Prabhsimran!
A 61-ball century for Prabhsimran Singh! What a knock this has been! Take a bow Prabhsimran Singh! Maiden IPL ton for him. The pitch hasn’t been the easiest to bat on! He took his time, held one end up! And then unleashed the big shots! He now has 103 out of the 154 PBKS have scored so far! PBKS are 154/5 after 18 overs. Can they touch 180???
DC vs PBKS: Prabhsimran scores a fighting fifty!
Prabhsimran Singh has smashed his second-IPL fifty and keeping PBKS in the hunt for a competitive total. A bit of momentum now for PBKS and they would be fairly happy with how these past few overs have gone. Sam Curran is back in the hut tough, he was eating up deliveries and had to go for the big hits! PBKS are 117/4 after 15 overs. Can they cross 160? Anything between 160-170 would be competitive on this wicket where slow deliveries are gripping and turning!
DC vs PBKS: Partnership brewing!
After losing three wickets in the powerplay, PBKS has consolidated a bit. At the time, this track does not appear to be appropriate for stroke-making. With the dew anticipated, you believe PBKS will need a score in the 150-160 area to make the match. They are 66/3 after 10 overs.
DC vs PBKS: PBKS lose three in the powerplay!
Delhi Capitals are on top at the moment. Ishant Sharma picked the captain Dhawan and Liam Livingstone for single digits! Axar Patel cleaned up Jitesh Sharma in the last over of the powerplay! The surface is not a belter. The slowish nature of the surface has led to the batters playing false strokes. PBKS are 46/3 after 6 overs and need a partnership!

The visitors though have everything to play for, as their play-off hope hangs by a small thread. The Kings have lost their previous two games, including their most recent match against the Kolkata Knight Riders. They now lie in eighth place in the points standings, having won five of their last eleven games.
