PBKS Vs DC, IPL 2022: Shardul Thakur (4/36) Keeps Delhi Capitals In Fray For Playoff Spot; Punjab Kings Slip - Highlights

Delhi Capitals defeated Punjab Kings by 17 runs at the DY Patil Stadium on Monday to advance to the top four in IPL 2022 table. The Rishabh Pant-led team currently has 14 points from 13 games and it is now among the hot contenders for the remaining three playoff spots. Talking about the game, Mitchell Marsh’s 63 took DC to 159/7 despite Liam Livingstone's 3/27 and Arshdeep Singh's 3/37. In reply, PBKS got off to a flying start scoring 53/1 in 5.3 overs. But once Shardul Thakur dismissed Bhanuka Rajapaksa, PBKS' second wicket, it opened the floodgates and DC never looked back since then. Shardul returned 4/36, while Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav returned identical figures of 2/14 as Delhi restricted Punjab at 142/9 in 20 overs. While a win made DC's case for playoff strong, a loss to PBKS meant their chances of final-four finish are almost over. (Scorecard | IPL Points Table | Full Schedule)
