PBKS vs DC Highlights, IPL 2025: Delhi Capitals win by six wickets

Harpreet Brar to Sameer Rizvi, Bowls it straight at the stumps, flat as well, Rizvi nudges it to the right of the diving bowler and pinches a single.

Harpreet Brar to Karun Nair, Gets away with it, does Brar! A real drag down, darted in towards the pads, Karun Nair rocks back and pulls it flat, but on the bounce to deep square leg for just a single.

STRATEGIC TIMEOUT. 61 needed from 36 balls. 7 wickets in hand. Three in-form batters yet to come - Tristan Stubbs, Ashutosh Sharma and Vipraj Nigam. Have to say. Delhi Capitals are roaring their way to victory in their last game of the season. Just when it seemed that Punjab were getting back into the game with wickets in the middle phase, the last few overs have opened the floodgates. Praveen Dubey went for 17 runs in the 11th over and since then, the complexion of the game has changed. Just one over in between went for 4 runs, but the other three from the 10th over have yielded 49. The Kings need a magic to prevent a loss here. Need wickets. Not one or two but in clusters. Here's Harpreet Brar. 2-0-18-1 so far.

Marco Jansen to Sameer Rizvi, SIX! CLUNK! Full use of the Free Hit! A length ball, slower in pace, Rizvi jumps down the track and pulls it with aplomb over mid-wicket! 18 from the over, 32 in the last 2!

Free Hit time!

Marco Jansen to Karun Nair, Full, around off, Nair gets across and looks to flick but misses and is hit on the pads. The ball deflects away to the off side and the batters take a single. Leg bye signalled. Oh hang on - the siren goes off and it means that naughty Jansen has overstepped! NO BALL!

Marco Jansen to Sameer Rizvi, Slower ball, on a length, outside off, coming in with the angle, Sameer Rizvi exposes all his three stumps, backing away to the leg side. Punches the ball towards sweeper cover for a run. 69 more needed from 37 balls.

Marco Jansen to Karun Nair, A short ball now, outside off, 136.1 kph, Karun Nair stays back and pulls it down to long on for a single.

Marco Jansen to Karun Nair, SIX! SHOT! Jansen bowls the knuckle ball, but a bit too full and on off stump. Karun Nair stays deep and clears the front leg before smacking it flat over mid off and all the way for a biggie. Regular boundaries taking pressure off DC here.

Marco Jansen to Sameer Rizvi, Takes pace off now, does Jansen, bowling it a bit shorter and on the hips. Rizvi gets inside the line and just tucks it wide of the keeper towards short fine leg for a single.

Marco Jansen to Karun Nair, Fires one into the blockhole, angling it in towards middle and leg. Nair takes the front leg out and digs it out to deep mid-wicket for a single.

Azmatullah Omarzai impressed everyone with his all-round performance in the last match, scoring a quickfire 21 (9) and a spell of 2/44 in 4 overs.

Azmatullah Omarzai to Karun Nair, Lucky again! A length ball, outside off, Karun Nair jumps down the track and has a wild slash. Gets a thick outside edge which does not carry to deep third. A single taken and Nair moves to 30 (19). 14 from the over, Azmatullah Omarzai's bowling figures read 3-0-34-0.

Azmatullah Omarzai to Sameer Rizvi, Outside off, punched through the covers for a single.

Azmatullah Omarzai to Sameer Rizvi, SIX! Excellent awareness of the field placements! After that previous boundary, Shreyas Iyer got his fine leg inside the circle. Sameer Rizvi spotted that and got ready. Pre-meditated his shot, waited for the ball to arrive on a length, and then picked it up from outside off to scoop it over short fine leg. Goes all the way! The stand moves to 33 (15).

Azmatullah Omarzai to Sameer Rizvi, FOUR! They all count! Rizvi runs down the pitch as Omarzai bangs it in well short and over middle. Rizvi tries to pull out of the shot but ends up miscuing it fine of the fine leg fielder. Jansen runs to his right but can't get that big frame down in time and the ball slips through the fingers for a boundary.

Azmatullah Omarzai to Karun Nair, Hammering it on a hard length and over off and middle, Nair hits it away in front of mid-wicket and picks up another single.

Azmatullah Omarzai to Sameer Rizvi, Oh, Marco Jansen has lost that one completely in the lights! A well-directed short ball, angled in towards the front shoulder. Sameer Rizvi gets inside the line and pulls it down to fine leg. Even if Jansen had picked it up, he might have not reached it. Just the single then.

Okay. Ian Bishop on air wants a bowling change. Probably because Karun Nair was getting a bit too comfortable with Praveen Dubey. They have played with one another in the Ranji Trophy in the past, for the same side, Karnataka. And Shreyas responds to Bish's call. Makes a bowling change, bringing in Azmatullah Omarzai. 2-0-20-0 so far.

Marco Jansen to Sameer Rizvi, On a length, around off, punched towards cover for one more. Excellent over from Jansen, going for just 4.

Marco Jansen to Karun Nair, Outside off, steered through the covers for a run.

Marco Jansen to Karun Nair, Full, outside off, slower in pace, 119 kph, Karun Nair gets across to lap it fine but is way too early into the shot. Misses and gets hit on the pads.

Marco Jansen to Karun Nair, Good carry on that one and Marco Jansen feels there's a nick. Not much support from the keeper but Shreyas Iyer has gone for the review for a caught-behind decision. This is bowled quick and a bit short, outside off, flying through. Karun Nair backs away to cut but misses it completely. The third umpire comes in and there's no need for UltrEdge as replays show that the ball was nowhere near the gloves or the bat. A review wasted by Punjab.

Marco Jansen to Karun Nair, Back of a length, around off, Nair backs away to cut but ends up jamming it towards the point fielder.

Marco Jansen to Sameer Rizvi, Length ball outside off, Rizvi stays back and angles the bat, running it off the bat face to deep third for a single.

Marco Jansen to Sameer Rizvi, Wide! Around the wicket comes Jansen and bangs it in short, trying to cramp the batter up but gets it down leg for a wide.

Praveen Dubey to Karun Nair, FOUR! Make that four on the bounce! The over started with a wicket but has resulted in 17 runs! Down the leg side, flat and full, fired in, Karun Nair uses the pace and sweeps it to the fine leg fence! 97 more needed from 54 balls now.

Praveen Dubey to Karun Nair, FOUR MORE! Hattrick of boundaries! Dubey drops it short, outside off and Nair makes no mistake. Rocks back in a flash and pulls it all along the ground through cow corner!

Praveen Dubey to Karun Nair, FOUR! This time to the right of the fielder. Result the same! Full, on middle and leg, Karun Nair gets down to play another sweep, this time to the right of deep square leg. Consecutive boundaries. 100 UP FOR DELHI CAPITALS! 105 more needed from 56 balls.

Praveen Dubey to Karun Nair, FOUR! In the gap! Flatter trajectory, bowled on middle and leg, Karun Nair sits down and swats the sweep shot hard and to the left of the deep square leg fielder for a boundary.

Praveen Dubey to Sameer Rizvi, Darted in full and just down leg, Sameer Rizvi tries to paddle sweep but gets it off the pads and down to fine leg for a leg bye.

Sameer Rizvi walks in next at number 5, replacing Sediqullah Atal.

Praveen Dubey to Sediqullah Atal, OUT! CAUGHT! Third time lucky for Punjab and Sediqullah Atal has run out of lives! Praveen Dubey tosses this one up a bit and bowls it outside off. Atal sits down for the slog but has to fetch it a bit and ends up swatting it high up and over the mid on region. Arshdeep Singh comes in from the deep and does well to adjust at the last moment and pouch it safely. A bit of breeze out there but Atal has to depart for 22 (16) in his maiden IPL inning.

Marcus Stoinis to Sediqullah Atal, On middle, pushed down the ground for a single. An eventful over, which saw two dropped catches and a six. 12 from Stoinis' opener, which could have easily been way better.

Marcus Stoinis to Sediqullah Atal, There comes the slower ball. Outside off, on a length, Atal pushes and misses. Seems like there was an outside edge but it did not carry any which ways to the keeper, Josh Inglis.

Marcus Stoinis to Sediqullah Atal, SIX! Insult to injury. Stoinis digs it in short again, around off, getting it to come back in, Sediqullah Atal uses the pace and pulls it with aplomb over backward square leg. His second six of the night. 115 more needed from 62 balls.

Marcus Stoinis to Sediqullah Atal, Another chance, and DROPPED! Stoinis bowls a heavy ball now, into the pitch and just on the shorter side of a good length around off. Sediqullah Atal loses his shape and tries to swing it away. The ball gets sliced high up towards short third. The keeper, Josh Inglis chases the swirling ball but in the end, the breeze makes it difficult and he ends up dropping it. Two more to the total.

Marcus Stoinis to Sediqullah Atal, Oh, was that a chance? Yes, indeed it was! Marcus Stoinis dishes out a full ball, outside off, Sediqullah Atal goes for the drive but hits it just a few inches above the ground and to the left of the cover fielder. Harpreet Brar is a tad late to dive across to his favored side and manages to get fingertips to it. The ball rolls away and they get a couple of runs.

Marcus Stoinis to Karun Nair, Begins with a fuller delivery, straight at the stumps, Nair eases it through mid on for one.

STRATEGIC TIMEOUT. Delhi Capitals are doing really well to match Punjab Kings in this run chase so far. Having been perturbed by their misfiring top order, they have been mostly playing catchup throughout the tournament. However, in this game, the 55-run opening stand has given a nice base. From Punjab's point of view, despite Stoinis advicing during the innings break interview to bowl slower balls, haven't seen much changes of pace from his teammates. Eqqually surprising is the fact that Shreyas Iyer has not thrown the ball yet to Stoinis. Normally, when an allrounder does well in one department, it reflects well in the other. The equation reads 126 from 66 - possible, unless PBKS can enforce a collapse. And mind you, DC's middle order has been in form this season. Ahhh... Shreyas hears us. Here comes Marcus Stoinis.

Praveen Dubey to Sediqullah Atal, Quicker, around middle, 93.7 kph, Sediqullah Atal defends watchfully.

Praveen Dubey to Karun Nair, On middle, worked through mid on for a single.

Praveen Dubey to Karun Nair, Around off, nicely tossed up, Karun Nair stays leg side of the ball and drives it back to his former Karnataka teammate.

Praveen Dubey to Sediqullah Atal, Slightly flighted, on a length and on the pads, nudged away through square leg to make it three singles in a row.

Praveen Dubey to Karun Nair, Bowls it short now, around middle and leg, Nair hangs back and pulls it straight to deep backward square leg for just one more.

Praveen Dubey to Sediqullah Atal, Starts off with a flatter one, pushing it across the left-hander, Sediqullah Atal presses back before punching it with a bit of an angled bat down to long off for one.

The Capitals have not been able to find consistency from their top order, who have contributed to 45 percent of the runs scored by DC in IPL 2025. Also to note, this is Sediqullah Atal 50TH match in T20 cricket. Would want to make it memorable for himself.

Marco Jansen to Sediqullah Atal, A single to end the over as Atal plays this in the gap. 

Marco Jansen to Sediqullah Atal, LEG BYE! Pitched-up on the pads, Sediqullah Atal goes for the flick but misses. Clips this off the pads through square leg and takes two. Good running between the wickets by these two. 

Marco Jansen to Sediqullah Atal, SIX! Atal announces himself with this huge hit for six runs. Good length on the pads, Sediqullah Atal swings and connects well. The ball has landed on the top tier around the big screen towards fine leg for six.
