PBKS vs DC
Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals have always provided thrilling cricket when they meet, and with both sides gunning for top two finishes this time around, their match promises to be no different.
Here we take a look at key battles, recent form, and other pertinent data leading up to this high-stakes clash.
IPL Has Confirmed Replay Of Match The IPL website lists Thursday’s Punjab Kings-Delhi Capitals match as “no result,” signalling it will be replayed once tournament play resumes in April.
Whether or not the exact point from where it was left unfinished on Thursday will be maintained remains unknown – replay could occur from where it left off or begin from scratch altogether.
Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh produced stunning performances for PBKS in their first innings, but their middle and lower orders couldn’t keep pace.
Shreyas Iyer played an effective half century as captain but Marcus Stoinis’ late blitz enabled PBKS to post an impressive total of 206 runs.
DC were in trouble after losing two wickets early on in their chase after conceding two wickets during the powerplay, but Afghanistan youngster Sediqullah Atal’s brilliant cameo of 22 from 15 balls along with contributions from Karun Nair and Sameer Rizvi ensured that DC would not give up easily; eventually they managed to win their match by four balls!
The PBKS and DC duos will meet once again for an important clash at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, Chandigarh.
Both teams boast powerful top orders that could produce an epic run-fest; however, home side spinners may be able to control Delhi’s powerplay and reduce scoring rates with their spell of spin bowling.
Key Battles
This contest pits experience against youth: Shikhar Dhawan’s calm yet stylish batting will go up against Delhi’s raw pace in Anrich Nortje and Kuldeep Yadav; their spin, variation, resurgence will play an integral part in early overs, while speed and aggression of latter will play a vital part in middle overs.
