Delhi Capitals go head to head against Punjab Kings in the 59th match of IPL 2023 at Arun Jaitley Stadium Delhi on 13th May, Saturday at 7:30 PM IST.
After thumping Royal Challengers Bangalore, Delhi Capitals came up against belligerent Chennai Super Kings. Delhi did splendidly well to restrict that powerful batting line-up to 167. Delhi went into the break thinking that this game was in their bag, but the batters made a meal of that run chase.
David Warner got out in the first over and Phil Salt was having all sorts of trouble facing Deepak Chahar and he departed early as well. The game was in the hands of Manish Pandey and Rilee Rossouw but they failed to get going and once they perished, Delhi went through the motion and fell short by 27 runs.
This is a must-win game for Punjab Kings now, they have lost two in a row and cannot afford to lose any more games. Punjab Kings are in the eighth position on the points table and they can very well go to the bottom of the table if they don’t get it right. Punjab Kings were up against Kolkata Knight Riders. Their batters could only post 179 on a good batting wicket and the bowlers couldn’t make early inroads and resulting in 5 wickets defeat at the hands of Knight Riders.

David Warner has been the top run scorer for his side, with not much help from other batters initially, he had to bat most of the overs and hold one held up.
Mitchell Marsh is a phenomenal batter at the top of the order. Marsh hits the ball hard and when he hits, it stays hit. For Delhi, he hasn’t made any impact so far but it’s time to show what he’s capable of.
Shikhar Dhawan has been leading from the front with the bat for his side, being the skipper, he’s showing them the way and the rest of the batters need to step up too.
Liam Livingstone is a terrific all-rounder, his batting is his primary skill and when he gets going, there’s no stopping. Livingstone is a very handy bowler too and is a wicket-taker.
