David Warner blames batters’ lack of application as DC are knocked out of play-off contention

Delhi Capitals captain David Warner rued his side’s poor batting approach as they were knocked out of IPL play-offs contention after suffering a 31-run loss to Punjab Kings here on Saturday. Chasing 168 on a slow-turner, the Australia left-handed batter gave DC a perfect start as his side reached 69 for no loss at the end of powerplay, but they crashed to 88 for 6 in 10.1 overs and were ultimately restricted to 136 for 8. “The way we started and then losing six for 30, you are not going to win many games,” Warner said at the post-match presentation. “Another disappointing effort with the bat after the start we had.” DC will play their two remaining matches for pride only. “I think we found the right combination but we keep losing 4-5 wickets in the middle and that is something you canno...

Synopsis: After opener rescues Punjab’s innings with a first IPL hundred, left-arm spinner stars on Kotla’s slow turner to show Capitals the door Prabhsimran repays coach’s faith “He will get there in time,” Punjab Kings batting coach Wasim Jaffer would back his 22-year-old opener on the eve of the game against Delhi Capitals.

DC vs PBKS Highlights: Prabhsimran ton, Harpreet four-for keep Punjab Kings alive, Delhi Capitals out of playoffs race | Cricket News – Times of India

NEW DELHI: Prabhsimran Singh is a project that has seen Punjab Kings invest four years and crores of rupees.

IPL 2023, DC vs PBKS Emotional Rollercoaster: Prabhsimran Singh hits heroic innings, Harpreet Brar spins Delhi around & David Warner hits quickfire 50 in vain

Perils of a limited batting lineup When Liam Livingstone came to the crease on the ninth ball of the first innings on Saturday, it became glaringly obvious that Punjab Kings’ top order ends at the openers. Delhi’s understanding of the sluggish conditions with the new ball at home has led to their mini-resurgence late in the tournament, with David Warner usually floating in one of his marquee spinners in the powerplay. Veteran Ishant Sharma did not need extraordinary bowling to mop up skipper Shikhar Dhawan, who gave his wicket away cheaply by lofting a ball straight to deep square leg after a six, and then Livingstone, who attempted to charge at a length ball and totally missed it to see his stumps knocked over. Shortly after, the introduction of Axar Patel would outfox Jitesh Sharma, w...
