IPL 2023 Orange Cap and Purple Cap standings after Delhi Capitals vs Punjab Kings match (Updated)
The Punjab Kings (PBKS) secured a crucial win over the Delhi Capitals (DC) in their quest for the 2023 Indian Premier League (IPL) playoffs. The Shikhar Dhawan-led side defeated DC by 31 runs at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday, May 13.
The Capitals skipper David Warner won the toss and opted to bowl first. Veteran seamer Ishant Sharma made the ball talk in the powerplay to dismiss Dhawan and Liam Livingstone in his spell.
Prabhsimran Singh carried the PBKS batting on a tricky surface and recorded a memorable ton. The opening batter scored 103 runs from 65 deliveries, while the second-highest scorer for the visitors came in the form of Sam Curran's 20 runs. The century propelled PBKS' score to 167/7 in the first innings.
The home side began the run chase on a bright note. The opening pair of David Warner and Phil Salt escaped the powerplay unscathed, adding 65 runs in the process. However, they were caught all end up after the PBKS spin trio took over the show in the middle overs.
DC collapsed from 69-0 to 88-6 in the blink of an eye, leaving an uphill task for their lower middle order. Aman Khan and Praveen Dubey played handy cameos, but it was far from enough as they could only muster 136/8 in 20 overs.
