IPL 2021, Live Cricket Score, Punjab Kings (PBKS) vs Delhi Capitals (DC): First look at spin. Ravi Bishnoi gets the ball and Shaw slams a six on the first ball. An uppish off-drive over long-off. Massive shot. He then edged a delivery trying to force it through off but there was no slip. Dhawan adds one with a pull shot. One more single for Shaw. Nine from the over.
Preview: Punjab Kings take on Delhi Capitals in match 29 of the Indian Premier League 2021 on Sunday. Both teams come into the match after winning their previous encounters.
DC defeated Kolkata Knight Riders by seven wickets on Thursday while PBKS defeated high-flying RCB in their previous contest to return to winning ways. What gave KL Rahul-led team a shot in the arm was their huge margin of win. They defeated RCB by 34 runs.
The script for Punjab’s win was written by Rahul (91) and Chris Gayle (46) as the team posted 179/5 before spinners Harpreet Brar’s match figures of 3/19 and Ravi Bishnoi’s 2/19 decimated a star-studded RCB batting line-up.
Punjab will hope for another successful outing by their spinners in Ahemdabad, but more importantly, they need their middle-order to compliment the top-order as the result of the toss is not a guarantee, and batting second at the venue has appeared as a tougher job.
DC also depends heavily on its top-order with Shikhar Dhawan and Prithvi Shaw being regular performers with the bat. They also need the middle-order to ready for any sorts of challenges that may arise against PBKS. Looking at the spin-friendly pitch at the venue, DC may bring in Amit Mishra. They also have better pacers than PBKS and that gives them a slight edge.
DC would move to the top of the table with a win tonight while PBKS can move to the fourth spot with a big win.
