At this point, something feels so odd! The top three have failed consecutively, and that too, against the teams that didn't qualify! And the latest edition is Punjab Kings. Sameer Rizvi finished off in style as Delhi Capitals dominated Punjab Kings by 6 wickets. Punjab Kings posted a competitive total of 206/8 in their 20 overs, powered by captain Shreyas Iyer’s 53 off 34 and a blistering unbeaten 44 off 16 from Marcus Stoinis. After an early loss of Priyansh Arya (6), the top order steadied with Prabhsimran Singh (28 off 18) and Josh Inglis, who smashed a rapid 32 off just 12 balls. Iyer’s half-century held the middle order together before late fireworks from Stoinis pushed the run rate past 10. Nehal Wadhera (16) and Shashank Singh (11) chipped in, while the lower order faltered against Mustafizur Rahman’s precise death bowling. Mustafizur starred with the ball, claiming 3/33, including two key wickets late in the innings. Kuldeep Yadav (2/39) and debutant Vipraj Nigam (2/38) supported well. Mukesh Kumar (1/49) was expensive, and Mohit Sharma went wicketless in his 4 overs.

The standout performer was Sameer Rizvi, who finally found form this season with a blistering 58\* off just 25 balls — his maiden IPL fifty. Rizvi smashed 3 fours and 5 sixes, accelerating the chase after solid contributions from KL Rahul (35 off 21) and Karun Nair (44 off 27). Despite early wickets, DC kept the asking rate in check, reaching 208/4 in 19.3 overs. Harpreet Brar impressed for PBKS with 2 for 41, including the key wickets of du Plessis and Nair, while Praveen Dubey and Marco Jansen chipped in with one each. Earlier, PBKS had posted 206/8 thanks to Stoinis’s explosive 44\* off 16. With this win, DC consolidated their playoff hopes, while Rizvi’s return to form could be a timely boost heading into the final stages.
