The match between Kings ll Punjab and Delhi Capitals was played at Mohali at night and so it was having a dew factor for a team who bowling at second innings. The bowl slip from the hand and the bowler who tries to put yorker can't put yorker instead of yorker full toss ball placed. There is no much help getting for spinners. The disadvantages for the host team was that they have to play this match without Chris Gayle as he was injured during the net session. In this ground, Gayle had a good record in his name and had a good average with more than 50.
Both teams have won 2 matches each in their three matches they played this season. With the dew factor if any team wins the toss they will decide to field first and that happens. Delhi capitals captain Shreyas Iyer after winning the toss decided to field first. Kings ll Punjab has one change in their team as Chris Gayle was out and the sam Curran was included in the playing eleven. Kings ll Punjab had opened sam Curran with K.L Rahul and so everyone was shocked as they have proper opener Mayank Agarwal in their team then why they give opening as the same current. If the same Curran had given chance as a finisher role then it will be beneficial for the team.
In the absence of Chris Gayle, kings ll Punjab can't able to score huge target on the board. As Rahul departs in the second over of the innings as he scored just 15 runs in 11 balls. Later on, Sam Curran was LBW in the bowling of Sandip Lamichhane at the team was at 36 runs and lose their two important wickets in the powerplay. Sarfaraz Khan and David Miller both played accurate cricket and with that, they crossed 50 runs partnership and now there is some hope that they even will cross 150 runs.
Punjab able to score 166 runs in 20 over and the target was low as compared with average total in this ground. But now it was bowlers turn to take wickets and restrict them under 166 runs to win the match. Delhi Capitals lose their opener Prithvi shaw at duck who was the hero of the previous match. Later on, Shreyas Iyer and Shikhar Dhawan both had a 61 runs partnership in 7 overs. But later what happened to the team as every batsman were dismissed while hitting a boundary.
At one time win was near for Delhi capitals but while hitting for a six Rishabh pant out and one by one player went to the pavilion with their silly mistakes and so they have to suffer a loss. Sam Curran was appointed as a man of the match for his unbelievable spell as he takes 4 wickets in just 2.2 overs and conceding only 11 runs as he gets support from Mohammed Shami who take 2 wickets in the 19th over of the innings.
