PBKS outclassed DC mainly due to the individual brilliance of two of their uncapped India players. Opener Prabhsimran Singh scored a maiden IPL century – 103 off 65 – in a total of 167/7. And then when David Warner had given the hosts a flying start, Harpreet Brar triggered a collapse from which DC didn’t recover with the left-arm spinner taking four wickets in a 31-run win.
PBKS will hope for an encore and strengthen their playoffs chances.
However, with nothing to lose now, DC would want to sign off on a high. Should Capitals achieve that, they will end up ruining PBKS’ chances.
