Punjab Kings thumped Delhi Capitals by 31 runs with the help of Prabhsimran's stunning century. With the loss DC are officially eliminated from the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023.
After being put into bat first, PBKS lost their top three inside the powerplay as they were stuttering for 45-3. Dhawan's 7 from 5, Livingstone's 4 off 5 and Jitesh Sharma's 5 off 5 were the scores of PBKS' top three barring the opener Prabhsimran.
Sam Curran stayed for a while and scored 20 from 24 balls but couldn’t up the ante. Hrapreet Brar scored 2 off 5 and eventually everyone seemed hapless infront of DC bowlers. There was no support from the other end. And the PBKS opener Prabhsimran scored a magnificent 103 off 65 balls with a strike rate of 158.46. He smacked 6 sixes and 10 boundaries. He single handedly took PBKS to 167 after 20 overs.
Chasing the total, DC had a flying start. Thanks to their skipper David Warner and his swashbuckling batting. He raced to his 54 out of 27 balls. While the other opener Philip Salt scored 21 off 17 balls. But after the departure of these two DC were falling apart. They'd a mini collapse as they lost Mitchell Marsh, Rossow, Axar and Manish Pandey in the span of 5 overs. Even lower order Aman Hakim Khan and Praveen Dubey too was lacklustre to the occasion which gave DC a heavy loss by 31 runs.
