DC vs PBKS, IPL 2023: Done and dusted, Delhi Capitals' unforgettable season all but over, lose by 31 runs

With this win, Punjab Kings move to 6th on the points table!

Harpreet Brar and Rahul Chahar - the duo shared 6 wickets for 46 runs in 8 overs.

First win for PBKS over DC since 2021, they’d lost each of the last four head-to-head games.

Another one bites the dust!

It was full and straight and beat the ambitious bat swing of Praveen Dubey. 

PBKS closing in on the win here.

Harpreet Brar after taking wickets, is also taking catches!

Aman Hakim Khan pulled firmly but the lack of timing saw the ball go towards Harpreet Brar.

No impact from the impact sub.

Manish Pandey has gone for a third-ball duck.

Axar went searching for the flick but he missed it. 

He was struck plumb in front of middle.

Warner was caught in front of the stumps as the ball hit the top of leg-stump. 

PBKS went up for the review and were elated as it went in their favour.

Rossouw perhaps chose the right shot and direction as well. 

But he did not get the desired timing. He danced-down-the-track but it was a comfortable catch for Raza at deep mid-wicket.

Not a bad review from Delhi, but not the result Mitchell Marsh would have wanted. 

He went low looking to sweep the ball but played down the wrong line and got rapped on the thigh pad.

50 up for David Warner!!

It's his 60th IPL 50

Harpreet Brar gets the big breakthrough for PBKS!

He bowls it a bit quicker and the ball one doesn't turn away. 

Philip Salt sees the ball go past his attempted cut and shatter the stumps.

Punjab had lost three key wickets in the powerplay and they were under huge pressure.

However, Prabhsimran Singh's special innings helped them to get out of trouble.

After Prabhsimran, the only batters to score in double digits were Sam Curran (20) and Sikandar Raza (11).

Shahrukh Khan swings and misses and the batters look to steal a bye.

But keeper Salt takes the ball and throws it to the bowler who completes the formalities at the bowling end.

Prabhsimran played all around and looked for a scoop but mistimes it.

He may have got an tiny inside edge and it deflected quickly onto the stumps. 

Prabhsimran b Mukesh Kumar 103(65) [4s-10 6s-6]

Maiden IPL ton for Prabhsimran Singh!

His teamamtes are cheering for the young lad.

Harpreet Brar looked to chip the drive on the off-side but instead sent it straight into the hands of Mitch Marsh at extra cover.

After Prabhsimran was dropped on the previous ball, this one needed to be taken!

Sam Curran went dancing down the wicket but did not get to the pitch of the delivery.

He skews the loft and picks out the fielder at long-on.

Fifty for Prabhsimran!

It's his second one in the IPL! His teammates cheer him on.

Jitesh Sharma is not to the pitch of the ball as he swings through the line.

He misses it and the stumps are in a mess. 

Jitesh Sharma b Axar 5(5) [4s-1]

The change of ends for Ishant Sharma also does wonders!

It was on a length on off and Livingstone went down the track and has a wild swing across the line.

But the ball went straight towards the stumps and rattles it.

Livingstone b Ishant 4(5) [4s-1]

Dhawan finds the fielder to perfection!

It was a fuller length, angling in from around the wicket and Dhawan did not bother to keep it down. 

Rossouw at deep backward square leg ran and got low to pouch it nicely.

Delhi Capitals have won the toss and have opted to field

For Delhi, Ripal goes out and another pacer comes in while for PBKS, Raza comes back in and Rajapaksa misses out.
