Liam Livingstone turned out to be the star bowler for Punjab Kings during their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 match against Delhi Capitals on Monday. He finished with figures of 3/27 in four overs to be PBKS' best bowler. But more than those figures, it was Livingstone's style of bowling that impressed all. The England player employed off-spin to dismiss David Warner off the first ball of the innings and also DC captain Rishabh Pant. Then, he dismissed Rovman Powell with leg-spin.
Delhi Capitals (DC) defeated Punjab Kings (PBKS) by 17 runs in Match 64 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai on Monday. Chasing a target of 160 runs, PBKS were restricted to 142 for nine in 20 overs by Delhi with Shardul Thakur taking four wickets in his four overs. Initially, a knock of 63 runs off 48 balls by Mitchell Marsh helped Delhi post 159 for seven in 20 overs. Meanwhile, Liam Livingstone and Arshdeep Singh took three wickets each for PBKS.
Kuldeep, Shardul star with ball vs Punjab after Marsh bats deep on difficult pitchPunjab Kings' boom-or-bust batting approach came back to haunt them as they messed up their chances of qualifying for the playoffs after surrendering to the Delhi Capitals by 17 runs in a must-win contest on Monday. AS IT HAPPENED | SCORECARD | POINTS TABLEPunjab batters dug their own graves with irresponsible shot selection on a slow track at the DY Patil Stadium, as Delhi Capitals rode on pacer Shardul Thakur's impressive four-wicket haul to bolster their chances of qualifying for the top four. Thakur overcame a lean patch to spearhead the turnaround in Delhi's favour with the twin strikes of Bhanuka Rajapaksha (4) and Shikhar Dhawan (19) within three deliveries, and later came back to remove Jitesh Sharma (44), and Kagiso Rabada (6).
Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are the two main pillars of the Indian cricket team. Such is their impact, that the senior batters are almost assured of a place in Team India in any format. However, they have not been in good touch in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. While Kohli has scored 236 runs in 13 matches at an average of 19.67 and a strike rate of 113.46 for Royal Challengers Bangalore, Mumbai Indians captain Sharma has managed just 218 runs in 12 games at an average of 18.17 with a strike rate of 125.29.
