loss in IPL
Delhi comes from behind to hand Punjab a fourth consecutive loss in IPL
DHARAMSHALA, India (AP) --- Punjab Kings slumped to their fourth consecutive
defeat as Delhi Capitals ran down a 211-run target in the Indian Premier League
on Monday.
Captain Axar Patel, who didn't bowl in Punjab's innings of 210-5, top-scored
for Delhi with 56. David Miller piled on with a 28-ball 51 and the tailenders
finished it off to reach 216-7 and win by three wickets with an over to spare.
Former IPL leader Punjab stayed fourth while Delhi, which has played one more
game, was seventh and still in the playoffs race.
Half-centuries from skipper Shreyas Iyer (59) and Priyansh Arya (56) led Punjab
to a challenging total against an all-out Delhi pace attack.
Delhi's two premier overseas fast bowlers Mitchell Starc (2-57) and Lungi Ngidi
(0-46) were expensive in the power play and Starc, who went for 22 in his first
over, also leaked runs in his return spell against Cooper Connolly (38) and
Suryansh Shedge (21).
Punjab, which also used five pace bowlers, had Delhi's chase in trouble at 74-4
in the ninth over. Arshdeep Singh bowled his four overs on the trot and claimed
two wickets.
But Patel and Miller revived the chase in a 64-run stand and Patel scored his
first fifty of the season.
After Patel and Miller were dismissed, impact player Ashutosh Sharma (24 off 10
balls) and Madhav Tiwari (18 off 8), one of the five changes Delhi made, took
the game away from Punjab in the death overs.
