पंजाब vs दिल्ली, मैच 55, हिमाचल प्रदेश क्रिकेट एसोसिएशन स्टेडियम, धर्मशाला, 11 May 2026 - हाइलाइट्स

Starts with the short ball, over off. Axar arches back and gets low to play the uppercut but misses.

Wide! Very full but down leg, Axar misses out on the glance. Stoinis is not happy with the wide call and to be fair, Axar did walk across the stumps.

Honing in on the off stump, on a good length. Axar stabs it down the strip.

Wide! Takes pace off and goes short. This drifts beyond the tramline. Axar flashes but fails to connect.

FOUR! Aerial but in the gap! Stoinis bends his back and digs it in short, on middle and leg. Axar is cramped for room and even though the ball comes off the upper half of the blade, he manages to get the pull shot away. Hits it to the left of the deep mid-wicket fielder and picks up a boundary.

 FOUR! FIFTY FOR AXAR PATEL! He has been frustratingly short of runs this season, and this will give a lot of confidence in that DC camp. His 4th IPL fifty. And it has come at a time when his team needs the most. A muted celebration from the skipper as he knows the job is far from being done. Stoinis misses his length on the shorter side. Axar clears his front leg and muscles it to the left of long on for a boundary.

FOUR! Streaky, but they all count! A hat-trick of boundaries. Pushed across the left-hander, on a back of a length. Axar swings hard at the ball off the back foot. It flies off a thickish outside edge to the left of short third for four more.

OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Punjab Kings strike back. A relief on the face of Marcus Stoinis on the completion of the catch. Understandable given the catching woes this season for Punjab. It is the slower one, floated up to the batter by Stoinis, around off. Axar collapses his back knee to launch it down the ground. He is early into the stroke and gets the height but not the distance. It goes only as far as long on, where Ben Dwarshuis settles under it but opts to take the catch low to the ground and makes no mistake. DC are 138/5, needing 73 more runs to win.

Angles it into the left-hander. Miller flicks this length ball to deep mid-wicket and crosses over.

From around the wicket, on a back of a length, on middle. Ashutosh plays it with soft hands in front of deep square leg and comes charging back for the second run.

Beaten! Keeps it nice and tight, around the off pole, on a short of a good length. Ashutosh Sharma stays back, looking to dab it behind point but misses.

Hits the top of off, on a short of a length. Sharma angles it wide of backward point for one.

A big swing and a miss! Bowled on a hard length at 135.7 kph, on off. Miller swings across the line with all his might but misses the ball by a countrymile.

Tidy stuff from Arshdeep. Fuller and on the off stump. Miller smears it off the inner half to deep mid-wicket for just a single. Just 5 runs off the over. 68 required from 30 balls.

 Swing and a miss! At pace, this is bashed hard on a length, outside off. Miller goes for the pull shot, throwing everything left in the tank, but misses out to connect.

 FOUR! HAMMERED! Short from Marco, wide outside off. Miller swivels on the back foot and pulls it through the mid-wicket region and it travels to the fence like a tracer bullet.

Pace off at 118.6 kph, on a length, outside off. Miller tries to cut it square on the off side, but is deceived by the lack of pace. An inside edge is found and the ball rolls back to the keeper.

 SIX! Geez, that's muscled! Short in length, on middle, angling in. David Miller picks the length in a trice, and pulls it flatly, clearing the deep backward square leg fence for a six. 58 needed off 26 balls.

Much fuller, on middle and leg, Miller flicks it to long on for a single.

 FOUR! Not exactly where he intended to hit, but runs are runs at this stage. Pitched fuller and around the off pole, straightening off the surface slightly. Ashutosh Sharma positions himself to clobber it covers, but gets a thick outside edge. The ball flies over the ring and Yuzvendra Chahal runs to his right from deep third. Extends his right hand out while diving to palm the ball back in, but fails to prevent the boundary. Chahal holds his left shoulder and looks in a bit of pain out there as he lands hard on it. A massive over for the Capitals as 15 runs come off it.

 SIX! It's Killer Miller time! He has made that shot look so easy. Back of a length, a slower leg cutter, outside off. David Miller stands tall, waits for it and swats it flatly over the long off fence for a six.

 SIX MORE! FIFTY FOR DAVID MILLER! From just 27 balls and he has kept the Capitals very much alive in this contest. This is Miller's 14th IPL half-century to go along with a century. Half volley, at pace, outside off. Miller clears his front leg and swings it hard, and effortlessly clears the long on fence for half a dozen more.

OUT! STRAIGHT UP AND TAKEN! A big, big moment in the game. Good length around off. Miller waits for the slower one and goes for the pull without footwork, getting a top edge that flies straight up in the air. The keeper, Prabhsimran Singh calls for it and runs a long way forward into the short cover region. Keeps his eyes locked on the ball and dives forward to complete a fine catch. A brilliant knock from Miller comes to an end. He is furious with himself for not getting the job done for his team. Delhi Capitals are 170/6, needing 41 runs from 21 balls.

 FOUR! Incredible shot! Hard length, angled across. Madhav arches back and cuts it to the left of backward point for a boundary. The deep third fielder stands no chance to cut that off in the deep.

Length ball, on the stumps, worked across to the square leg region for a single.

A big swing and a miss! Ben Dwarshuis goes full, around off. Ashutosh Sharma dances down the track and swings to go down the ground, but connects with thin air. DC need 36 runs from 18 balls.

On a length, at a gentle pace, around off. Tiwari pulls it to deep mid-wicket for a single.

 FOUR! OH, WHAT A SHOT! Short by Stoinis, on top of off. Ashutosh Sharma stands tall and reads the length early. Swats it between long on and deep mid-wicket for a cracking boundary. 31 needed off 16 balls.

 SIX! So easily done! PBKS are back under pressure. Off pace delivery, short and on middle and leg. Ashutosh Sharma anticipates it and gets across in the crease before whipping it over the deep fine leg fence for a massive six.

Oh, had to hurry there! At 126.6 kph, this is on a good length, outside off. Ashutosh Sharma punches it off the back foot to the cover region and sets off for a run. With no fielder there, Stoinis himself gets across and picks the ball. Throws it to the bowling end, but misses his shy and instead, the ball hits Ashutosh's leg, who scoots through.

 SIX! Just enough bat on it! Into the slot, a real hit-me ball by Marcus, on middle and with pace taken off as well. Madhav creates room by getting the front leg out of the way and swings across the line. Suryansh Shedge at deep square leg leaps but the ball clears him and drops beyond the fence.

Nearly dragged on! On a length on leg. Madhav makes some room by stepping away and swings hard across the line, getting a thick inside edge that runs away past the leg stump to the fine leg region. Tiwari keeps the strike with a single.

Good, raw pace by Thakur! Slams the deck really hard, short and outside off. Madhav Tiwari moves outside off, and tries to whack it downtown with a flat batted angle, but misses to connect.

 FOUR! That's very cleverly played! Overpitched delivery by Thakur. He misses the wide yorker by a few inches and Madhav Tiwari manages to get under it. Carves it to the left of the man at deep backward point and finds the fence on the bounce. 13 needed off 10 balls now.

At 137.2 kph, short of a length, on middle. Tiwari miscues the pull shot off the bottom end and it rolls to mid on for a single.

 SIX! DISAPPEARED! Short and wide outside off. Ashutosh Sharma has enough room to work with. Stands tall and carves it with an uppercut, clearing the deep third fence for six more. Just 6 runs needed off 8 balls.

OUT! MISTIMED IN THE AIR AND CAUGHT! Is there another twist left in this game? Superb catch under pressure by the sub fielder, Praveen Dubey. Short and wide outside off, a well-directed bouncer hitting a good height. Ashutosh shuffles across the stumps, takes it on with the pull but doesn't quite get hold of it. Ends up top edging it to wide long on. Praveen Dubey covers a lot of ground to his right and pulls off a fantastic running catch. Delhi Capitals are 205/7, needing 6 runs from 7 balls.

NO BALL, FOUR! Oh, dear! That's a very poor delivery and that should be the game for DC as they are almost there. Glum faces in the Punjab Kings' dugout. Yash slips in a high full toss, above the waist height on the leg stump line. Auqib Nabi swivels and pulls it on the bounce to the deep backward square leg fence for a boundary. SCORES ARE LEVEL!

 SIX! TONKED DOWNTOWN! DC BEAT PBKS BY 3 WICKETS. A wonderful run-chase by the Delhi Capitals after losing three early wickets, and this is the highest successful run chase in Dharamsala in IPL history. Yash bowls a low full toss, on off. Auqib Nabi stands deep inside the crease and smokes it powerfully over long off for a six and finishes the game off in style for his team. The Capitals keep themselves very much alive in the season, and this is the fourth straight loss for the Punjab Kings.
