Delhi Capitals (DC) thrashed Punjab Kings (PBKS) by 17&nbsp;runs in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 on Monday (May 16) to keep their playoffs hopes alive. The Rishabh Pant-led DC franchise successfully defended the total of 159 runs after an excellent bowling performance -- with Shardul Thakur's 4 for 36 and twin scalps each from Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel -- to bag two wins on the trot for the first time this season and move into the top four on the points table.

Asked to bat first at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai, Delhi Capitals got off to a shaky start as they lost in-form opener David Warner on a golden duck before Mitchell Marsh's brilliant 63 along with crucial knocks from Sarfaraz Khan (32) and Lalit Yadav (24) helped them post a fighting total of 159 runs on the board.

The bowlers then produced an excellent performance to restrict Punjab Kings on 142/9 and set up a comfortable victory for the team. Shardul Thakur gave away runs but was the pick of the bowlers for Delhi Capitals with a four-wicket haul. He finished with figures of 4/36 in his four overs.

Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav were also effective once again as they picked up two wickets apiece. With the win, Delhi Capitals remain alive in the race for playoffs with 14 points from 13 matches so far this season and a game in hand. DC are now at&nbsp;the 4th spot on the points table.

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) kept their playoffs hopes alive in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 with a comprehensive 52-run win over Mumbai Indians (MI) at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai on Monday (May 09). KKR bowled well and produced a brilliant display on the field to successfully defend the total of 165 runs and bag their fifth win of the season.

Batting first, KKR got off to a good start as openers Venkatesh Iyer (43) and Ajinkya Rahane (25) posted a 60-run stand for the first wicket. Crucial knocks from Nitish Rana (43) and Rinku Singh (23) then propelled KKR to a fighting total of 165 runs on the board.

The pacers impressed with the ball as KKR got off to a flyer while defending the total. Tim Southee got rid of MI skipper Rohit Sharma cheaply on just 2 off 6 balls before Andre Russell removes Tilak Verma (6) and Ramandeep Singh (12) to pile on the pressure on the MI batting line-up.

Kishan held one end of the crease with a gritty 51 off 43 balls but failed to find support from the other end as the likes of Tim David (13) and Kieron Pollard (15) disappointed once again. MI were bundled out for a paltry 113 runs as they lost the game by 52 runs to suffer their 9th defeat of the season.

Punjab Kings (PBKS) rode on Shikhar Dhawan's brilliant unbeaten 62 and a sensational cameo of 10-ball 30 from Liam Livingstone to thrash Gujarat Titans (GT) by 8 wickets in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 on Tuesday. It was a clinical performance from PBKS, who dominated the proceedings with both the bat and the ball against table-toppers GT at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai.

Asked to field first after losing the toss, Punjab Kings' bowlers got their team off to a dream start. While Shubman Gill was sent back after a run-out, Kagiso Rabada went on to pick up a four-wicket haul to run through the GT batting line-up. Rabada finished with excellent figures of 4/33 in his four overs to help his side restrict GT to 143/8 in 20 overs.

Punjab Kings lost opener Jonny Bairstow (1) cheaply in the run-chase before Dhawan and Bhanuka Rajapaksa joined hands in the middle and took control of the innings. Rajapaksa played a brilliant knock of 40 runs off 28 balls and added an 87-run stand for the second wicket with Dhawan.

After his departure, Livingstone was sent out to wrap up the chase early and the Englishman did exactly that as he slammed three back-to-back sixes in the 16th over from Mohammed Shami, including a monstrous hit of 117m. Livingstone scored 28 runs off the 16th over from Shami to help PBKS get over the line with as many as four overs to spare.
