DC vs PBKS, IPL 2023 Highlights: Delhi Capitals have been officially knocked out of contention for the playoffs after a comprehensive 31-run loss to the Punjab Kings. David Warner won the toss and chose to bowl after which Ishant Sharma and Axar Patel ensured that his faith was repaid in the powerplay at least. Ishant got the big wickets of Shikhar Dhawan and Liam Livingstone while Axar has dismissed the in-form Jitesh Sharma. Prabhsimran Singh, however, gave PBKS a boost with a few big shots after the 10th over while Sam Curran is holding fort at the other end. While Curran fell without being able to get his strike rate past 100, Prabhsiumran soldiered and went on to blast a 61-ball century. The second best score for PBKS after his ton remained Curran's 20 off 24 balls. It was also, at the time, one of just two innings to have gone past a single-digit score. Prabhsimran eventually fell after scoring 103 off 65 balls. Sikandar Raza then finished unbeaten on 11 off seven and PBKS ended up with a score of 167/7. Warner came out all guns blazing and ensured that DC had 69 runs in the powerplay. It looked like they were cruising towards victory at the time but the game has since flipped on its. DC lost five wickets, including those of Warner and the in-form Axar Patel, with Brar picking four of those between the seventh and 11th overs. DC eventually ended up on a score of 136/8 in their 20 overs after being 65/0 at the end of the powerplay.

“We will have a bowl. It is going to be a slow, low surface, it is not going to change much. The last game was not a good one but winning 4 out of 5 was quite good.

DC vs PBKS Live Score: DC assistant coach Pravin Amre on their approach to this match
"We've shown a lot of character after our first five games. Defending a small total against Gujarat Titans at their home ground and the way we played against RCB gave us a lot of confidence. We know that we have the potential and we'll look to execute a strategy which will work for us in the next game."
DC vs PBKS Live Score, IPL 2023: DC's realistic chances
Regardless of whether DC win or lose today, they will need quite a few results to go their way so as to finish in the top four. However, if they don't win, well then, the permutations that are needed to work in their favour is too ludicrious to list out. DC will be able to finish on a maximum of 12 points this season if they lose today, which is four points behind the magic 16-point mark.
IPL 2023 Live score: Axar's magic season
Axar Patel has been almost criminaly underutilised as a batter by DC, often scoring quick runs towards the end of a chase when the game has already gone out of their hands. Apart from this, he has almost consistently got the big wickets in every match.
DC vs PBKS Live Score: Win or nothing for DC?
Delhi Capitals have to win everything they play or else, they are off. Which means a defeat today could make them the first team this season to drop out of the race for top 4.
DC vs PBKS Live Score: David Warner's form
David Warner has scored 330 runs in 11 matches, which in itself is terrible return considering the standards that the Australian sets most of the time. Add to that the fact that his strike rate is a paltry 119.56 despite playing in the powerplay as the opener and it becomes clear that he is certainly having one of his worst ever IPL seasons. DC fans will hope he turns it around today though, considering he has nine successive 50-plus against Punjab Kings - from 2015 to 2020.
