Wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant had a forgettable outing as the Delhi Capitals captain dropped a catch and failed to review a crucial chance to see his team lose to Mumbai Indians and get knocked out of the IPL 2022 play-offs race on Saturday.
As Mumbai Indians defeated Delhi Capitals by five wickets to end the latter's hopes of making the IPL 2022 playoffs, the focus was on a decision by Rishabh Pant not to take a review after Tim David had seemingly nicked the ball behind. The umpire gave it not out, and after a long consultation with the bowler Shardul Thakur, Pant eventually opted against the review. Replays showed that the ball had indeed been edged by David, who went on to punish Delhi by smashing 34 off 11 deliveries to set the win up for his team.
Mumbai Indians ended Delhi Capitals' hopes of reaching the playoffs, defeating them by five wickets in Match 69 of IPL 2022 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Saturday. Chasing a target of 160, MI lost the early wickets of skipper Rohit Sharma. However, Ishan Kishan and Dewald Brevis put them back on track, adding 51 runs for the second wicket. Tim David and Tilak Varma then added the finishing touches to MI's chase, adding another 50 to take MI to victory. In the end, MI chased down the target with five balls to spare. Thanks to MI's win over Delhi Capitals, Royal Challengers Bangalore became the fourth team to qualify for the playoffs.
Mumbai Indians (MI) will take on Delhi Capitals (DC) in their last league game in IPL 2022 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Saturday. MI would aim for a win and disrupt DC's chances of reaching the playoffs, where they are fighting neck-to-neck with Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the IPL 2022 points table. Looking at the final XI of MI, young all-rounder Arjun Tendulkar could finally get a game and make his much-awaited debut in IPL cricket in MI's final game of the season.
Left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav has impressed one and all with his performance for Delhi Capitals in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season. Having been bought for Rs 2 crore in the auction, all eyes were on the 27-year-old on how he would perform for the franchise. However, the spinner quickly found his mojo and he now has 20 wickets in the season so far. Former Team India head coach Ravi Shastri praised Kuldeep for his outing against Punjab Kings on Monday and also praised DC captain Rishabh Pant for giving the spinner "confidence".
The Mayank Agarwal-led Punjab Kings are in a very tricky situation in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. Their 17-run loss to Delhi Capitals on Monday was their seventh in 13 matches. They have 12 points so far, and with only one league-stage match left in their campaign, PBKS will have to depend on other teams' results to have a shot at qualifying for the play-offs. Agarwal, who was appointed the skipper ahead of the season, has failed to perform with the bat too. In 12 matches, he has scored 195 runs at an average of just 17.73.
Punjab Kings' hopes of making it to the playoffs were left hanging by a thread following their defeat to Delhi Capitals on Monday. It was another tumultuous night for Punjab Kings captain Mayank Agarwal with the bat, dismissed for a two-ball duck by Axar Patel. In the end, PBKS failed to chase down the 160-run target, falling short by 17 runs. It meant that PBKS will now have to rely on other teams doing them a favour, if they are to have any chance of making into the top four.
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.
