Punjab vs Delhi, 29th Match Full Match Highlights PBKS VS DC | DELHI VS PUNJAB IPL14 IPL2021 Shaw is doing his thing and Dhawan is more than happy to give him the strike. This template is very familiar now as Delhi Capitals make a flying start once again in the powerplay. They have already knocked off 63 runs in these six overs and now they are definitely the favourites. PBKS badly need a wicket to force their way back into this contest. FollowThis was a captain's innings, if there was one. The acceleration at the end was awesome. Last 70 from 33 balls but as always, good looking shots. A 99, in the context of a match, is as valuable as a century. PUNJAB VS DELHI MATCH HIGHLIGHT leading his team to a very respectable score without much support from other batsmen. Always a delight to see him in full flow What a terrific knock this was from the skipper. He absolutely hammered Avesh in the final over and has unfortunately finished one short of a century. He walks back unbeaten on 99 but he will be a proud man. PBKS finish with 166/6. 103 runs were scored in the final 10 overs. This man scored more than 50% of the total and has given his side a fighting chance now. They still need to come out and remove the DC openers soon. Finally a productive game with the ball for Rabada after a long time. Even though Mayank keeps going strong at one end, DC chip away with the wickets at the other. Jordan miscues one now and gets a top edge, this ball goes miles up in the air before getting caught. Harpreet comes into the attack. Shahrukh Khan can be a dangerous player at the death but before he opens up, DC get rid of him. Avesh Khan is back into the attack and does the damage straightaway. Shahrukh is beaten for pace and miscues one. Hetmyer takes a catch running backwards. Mayank is slowly opening up and in the process, he helps himself to a crucial fifty. PBKS needed this badly from their stand-in skipper tonight. They will need more from him now in these final five overs. #DELHIVSPUNJAB That was the last thing Punjab needed. Mayank and Hooda get into a horrible mix-up and both the batsmen end up at the bowler's end. But Axar has dislodged the bails before they can enter the crease and as a result, the third umpire confirms that Hooda will have to leave. PBKS are in deep trouble. He just never got going tonight on his maiden IPL outing. Dawid Malan was struggling for momentum and in his attempt to push the scoring rate, he perishes. Axar Patel bowls at leg stump and Malan misses the slog to lose his leg stump. Deepak Hooda is the next man in. PBKS badly need some big hits from this man. They are 63/2 at the halfway mark. PBKS haven't lost any more wickets but the runs aren't coming as well. As we have known for a while, this isn't really an easy wicket to bat. But PBKS still need to bat well to post 150 from here. Umang PabariUmang Pabari This is the first time that Rabada took two wickets in an IPL match in powerplay overs. #PBKSvDC Gayle didn't expect that at all. He just pulled Rabada for a massive six and he was waiting for a short ball next. However, Rabada wants to go full and misses his length. This is a high full toss bowled at a speed over 140 and Gayle just didn't know how to face that. It came at an awkward height and Gayle in his attempt to defend it missed the ball completely only to see his stumps rearranged. Poor start for PBKS. Dawid Malan has walked out to bat to make his bow in the IPL. PBKS are 39/2 after the powerplay. Stop the press!! Rabada has a wicket. He has struggled for wickets this season given his reputation in IPL over the years and it has taken him only 3 balls to strike tonight. Prabhsimran Singh did end up wasting deliveries in the powerplay and hence brought out a desperate shot. But Smith judges the mistimed shot to perfection at mid off to complete the catch. Gayle is the new man in. Punjab Kings:Prabhsimran Singh(w), Mayank Agarwal(c), Chris Gayle, Dawid Malan, Deepak Hooda, Shahrukh Khan, Harpreet Brar, Chris Jordan, Riley Meredith, Ravi Bishnoi, Mohammed Shami Delhi Capitals:Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Rishabh Pant(w/c), Marcus Stoinis, Shimron Hetmyer, Steven Smith, Axar Patel, Lalit Yadav, Kagiso Rabada, Ishant Sharma, Avesh Khan TOSS: Delhi Capitals opt to bowl. Punjab Kings, led by Mayank Agarwal tonight, bring in Dawid Malan for Nicholas Pooran #PBKSVSDC #IPL14 #IPLHIGHLIGHTS #DCVSPBKS This isn't the first time they are facing each other this season. In a high-scoring game couple of weeks ago, Delhi Capitals easily chased down 196 with 10 balls left in their innings. PBKS openers registered half-centuries and set the platform for the big score but Dhawan was in his elements once the chase began. Shaw dazzled briefly scoring 32 off 17 but it was Dhawan who did the bulk of the damage scoring 92 off just 49 deliveries before Marcus Stoinis and Lalit Yadav finished proceedings. It is highly unlikely that we will witness another game full of runs this time around.
