Punjab Kings had to face defeat in the match against Delhi. After the loss in this match, the chances of Punjab reaching the playoffs have been reduced. Right now they have only 12 points and the team still has one more game to play. In such a situation, even if the team wins its next match, it will have to rely on the results of other teams. At the same time, following the loss to Delhi, former India captain Mohammad Azharuddin has questioned Mayank Agarwal’s captaincy.
Questioning Mayank’s captaincy, he said that I don’t understand why Livingstone withdrew from the bowling attack after taking a wicket because a bowler can be given one more after taking a wicket. In the match against Delhi, Mayank Agarwal’s captaincy was below average. He didn’t use his brain in this match.
Speaking of Mayank’s captaincy, Azhar said that Punjab had to use their top bowlers after getting the opening wicket from Warner. Arshdeep Singh could have been used at this time. He could have been given one more lap with the new ball. When he can bowl so well with the old ball, he would have done well with the new ball too. If he had, he might have gotten a wicket or two early on. However, Mayank’s captaincy has not been special either. I must say that Punjab has played poor cricket against Delhi.
Delhi Capitals defeated Punjab Kings by 17 runs in the match played at DY Patil Stadium. In this match Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav shared four wickets between them while Shardul Thakur gave the best performance of his career. He took 4 wickets for 36 runs. Earlier, Mitchell Marsh brought Delhi’s score to 159/7 after a 49-ball 63. Punjab lost six wickets before reaching the middle of the chase. However, Jitesh Sharma made 44 of 34 balls. He did his best but Punjab could only go 142/9 from their 20 overs. The win also marks Delhi winning two straight matches for the first time in the tournament and a brace over Punjab. With 14 points on their tally, Delhi also managed to displace Royal Challengers Bangalore from fourth place in the points table in net run rate . it is.
