Punjab Kings Eye Big Win To Keep Play-Off Hopes Alive vs Delhi Capitals

Punjab Kings will be eager to register a big win to keep their IPL play-off hopes alive against wooden spooners Delhi Capitals, who will play for pride when the two teams face off in Dharamsala on Wednesday. It has been a roller-coaster ride for PBKS, with six losses and as many wins. They are placed at eighth spot with 12 points and are still in contention to make the qualifiers. However, they need to improve their net run rate (NRR), which stands at -0.268. A 31-run win against the Capitals last week boosted their NRR and morale and the Shikhar Dhawan-led side will hope for an encore and then hope that other results go their way.

Prabhsimran Singh's magnificent maiden IPL hundred was well complemented by Harpreet Brar's four wicket haul as Punjab Kings on Saturday kept their slim play-off hopes alive with a comprehensive 31-run win over Delhi Capitals, who were knocked out of contention in the process. Prabhsimran showed tremendous resolve to score 65-ball 103 to single-handedly power PBKS to 167 for 7. The Shikhar Dhawan-led side kept losing wickets at regular intervals, but Prabhsimran heroic effort took them to a really good total. PBKS eventually won the game by 31 runs and the right-handed opener was named the Player of the Match.

In Praise For Prabhsimran Singh, Virender Sehwag's Dig At IPL's 'Most Expensive Player'

A great cricketer during his playing days, Virender Sehwag has turned into a pundit who doesn't know how to mince words. Not for the first time this season, Sehwag launched a scathing attack at Punjab Kings all-rounder Sam Curran, who is the most-expensive player in the history of the Indian Premier League. After PBKs' Prabhsimran Singh guided the team to a win over Delhi Capitals with his maiden ton in the competition, Sehwag lauded the batter but somehow brought Sam Curran into the conversation.

Prabhsimran Singh's magnificent maiden IPL hundred was well complemented by Harpreet Brar's four wicket haul as Punjab Kings on Saturday kept their slim play-off hopes alive with a comprehensive 31-run win over Delhi Capitals, who were knocked out of contention in the process. If Prabhsimran showed tremendous resolve during his 65-ball 103 to single-handedly power PBKS to 167 for 7, Brar (4/30) and Rahul Chahar (2/16) then spun a web to strangle Delhi's chase as the home side managed just 135 for 8, despite a sizzling 27-ball 54 by skipper David Warner. The win took Punjab to 12 points from 12 games, just outside the top four but they will need to win the next two matches as well to keep hopes of a playoff, while it was the end of the road for Delhi.

"Not Going To Win...": David Warner Blasts DC Batters After Defeat Against PBKS

Delhi Capitals captain David Warner rued his side's poor batting approach as they were knocked out of IPL play-offs contention after suffering a 31-run loss to Punjab Kings here on Saturday. Chasing 168 on a slow-turner, the Australia left-handed batter gave DC a perfect start as his side reached 69 for no loss at the end of powerplay, but they crashed to 88 for 6 in 10.1 overs and were ultimately restricted to 136 for 8. "The way we started and then losing six for 30, you are not going to win many games," Warner said at the post-match presentation.
