Sameer Rizvi stars with maiden IPL half century as Delhi Capitals defeat Punjab Kings by 6 wickets

The Top 2 race is still wide open as Delhi capitals signed off their IPL campaign with a win against heavy favourites Punjab Kings on Saturday, Indian Express reported.

Sameer Rizvi starred with his maiden IPL half century while Karun Nair chipped in with an important 44 to help their team over the finishing line.

 

Shreyas Iyer scored a half century while Marcus Stoinis chipped in with a blistering 16-ball 44 as Punjab Kings posted 208/6 against Delhi Capitals.

While Punjab kept losing regular wickets, their run rate never dipped even as Mustafizur Rahman and Kuldeep Yadav took 3 and 2 wickets each.

Vipraj Nigam also took 2 but the punjab batters went after Mohit Sharma and Mukesh Kumar to score the massive total, according to Indian Express.

Delhi Capitals won the toss and opted to bat first against the Punjab Kings. Axar Patel will not be available for DC so Faf du Plessis will lead the side.

With Gujarat Titans and Royal Challengers Bengaluruboth dropping points against Lucknow Super Giants and Sunrisers Hyderabad, Punjab Kings are in pole position to finish in the Top 2 considering they don’t slip up against Delhi Capitals at Jaipur on Saturday.
