Punjab Kings (PBKS) put up a strong total of 206 runs against Delhi Capitals (DC) in Match 66 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium. This came after DC skipper Faf du Plessis won the toss and opted to bowl first in Jaipur.
PBKS had a shaky start, with opener Priyansh Arya departing early in the first innings. But, Prabhsimran Singh contributed a quick 28 off 18 balls, and a terrific cameo from Josh Inglis as well, who scored 32 off just 12 deliveries.
In the middle overs, skipper Shreyas Iyer steadied the innings with a calm 53 off 34 balls. The scoring momentum was boosted by Marcus Stoinis in the death overs, who smashed 44* off just 16 balls, which included three fours and four huge sixes.
For the visitors, Mustafizur Rahman claimed three wickets in his four-over spell. Vipraj Nigam and Kuldeep Yadav chipped in with two wickets each. However, their fielding performance was below par, and dropped several easy and half-chances that could not be converted in positive results.
“During the break, I had Covid, so I rested up and came back in. It’s always different when you go in the end and in one mode. Think it’s a good target. Think the slower ones were holding, unless I was swinging too early. The wind’s coming in, worth using the breeze as needed. Fit to bowl if required,” Stoinis said between innings on air.
