Prabhsimran Singh Scores A Century To Be The Lone Fighter For PBKS, DC Needs

Ishant Sharma was instrumental in claiming the key wickets of Shikhar Dhawan and Liam Livingstone, while Axar Patel managed to dismiss the in-form Jitesh Sharma. However, Prabhsimran Singh’s aggressive batting after the 10th over gave Punjab Kings (PBKS) a much-needed boost, while Sam Curran held firm at the other end. Despite Curran’s dismissal without being able to up his strike rate past 100, Prabhsimran continued to soldier on and eventually reached a superb century off just 61 balls. Curran’s 20 off 24 balls remained the second-highest score for PBKS at the time he reached his hundred, and only one other player had managed to score in double digits. PBKS just managed to reach 167 out 20 overs.

Delhi Capitals (DC) are in danger of being the first team to be eliminated from playoff contention, as they must win all three of their remaining matches in the league stage. DC currently sit at the bottom of the ten-team points table with eight points in 11 matches. On the other hand, Punjab Kings, led by the impressive Shikhar Dhawan, are hoping to make a late push for the playoffs and are currently in eighth place with 10 points in 11 matches. However, their chances of making it to the playoffs remain uncertain.
