Prithvi Shaw And Rilee Rossouw Play Explosive Knocks To Make DC Reach 213.

Rilee Rossouw showcased an impressive performance, while Prithvi Shaw made a remarkable comeback as Delhi Capitals amassed a colossal total of 213/2 in their allotted 20 overs after being asked to bat first by Punjab Kings in the IPL 2023 clash at Dharamsala on Wednesday. Rossouw remained unbeaten on 82 off just 37 deliveries, displaying six boundaries and an equal number of maximums. Shaw, who returned to the playing XI, lived up to the expectations as he contributed 54 runs off 38 balls, providing his team with a solid start alongside skipper David Warner.

The duo combined for a partnership of 94 runs in 10.2 overs before Warner was dismissed for 46 off 31 balls, courtesy of a brilliant catch taken by Dhawan. Phil Salt also played a valuable cameo, scoring a quickfire 26 off 14 balls. Punjab Kings desperately needed a win to enhance their chances of qualifying for the playoffs. With 12 points from 12 matches, they aimed to increase their tally to 16 points. While a defeat wouldn’t eliminate them from the tournament, it would heavily depend on the outcomes of other matches for their progression. On the other hand, Delhi Capitals have already been eliminated from playoff contention and currently hold the last position in the league standings. Nevertheless, they continue to play with pride and determination.
