IPL 2022 | Delhi Capitals vs Punjab Kings Highlights: DC inflict 9-wicket thrashing on PBKS

After a lot of negativity surrounding this match whether it would be played, whether DC would have enough players to field. All those questions were shut when DC came onto the field. Their spinners especially Axar Patel bowled a spell of 4 overs for 10 runs and 2 wickets alongside Kuldeep Yadav to derail Punjab's innings. In the second innings, it was all about the destructive duo of Prithvi Shaw and David Warner who notched up 81 runs in the powerplay and finally won it within 11 overs. A massive boost to DC's net run rate after a comprehensive win.

Toss

Delhi Capitals won the toss and chose to bowl first

A flamboyant Dhawan was in his elements against Mumbai Indians, but consistency has been an issue for the senior opener.

As both teams eye a return to winning ways, the batting unit that does well could be the difference.

Warner, Prithvi Shaw and skipper Pant headline a powerful DC line up against aPunjabunit that boasts of Shikhar Dhawan, in-form Liam Livingstone and Shahrukh Khan.
