Prabhsimran falls For 18

Delhi Capitals used the timeout wisely, slowing down the early surge and pulling things back after a frantic start. Mukesh Kumar continued the attack, and this time it was much tighter from DC.

Prabhsimran Singh managed a couple of runs early in the over with a neat flick to square of the wicket, but Mukesh soon found his rhythm. A bouncer flew over Prabhsimran for a wide, and the batter then tried to force one but couldn't connect cleanly. He was beaten on the next delivery as well, with DC building pressure ball by ball.

After a brief exchange of singles, the breakthrough finally arrived. Prabhsimran's struggle ended when he mistimed one and was caught by Auqib Nabi, departing for 18 off 15 balls. A timely wicket for Delhi Capitals, just when they needed to break the opening stand.

Shreyas Iyer walked in as the new batter but had no time to settle -- Mukesh finished the over with a sharp delivery that beat him as well. Just 6 runs and a wicket from the over, and after 7 overs Punjab Kings are 78 for 1, with a brief sense that DC have managed to claw things back.
