DC vs PBKS IPL 2022 - The majority of people 'love' to see a hero fall, and yet many others rejoice nothing more than a comeback. David Warner's redemption after being released by a franchise he won two titles for as captain, has been a fairy tale. Warner, playing his fourth match for Delhi Capitals this season, smacked his third consecutive fifty as he sealed the match against Punjab Kings. 

Warner has been one of the most consistent batters in the T20 format, with the most number of 50-plus scores to his name in IPL history despite being an overseas player. Chasing a meagre target of 116, the left-handed batter played in a way as if the team was chasing a 200-plus target, maintaining a strike rate of 200.00 in 30 balls.

Opening the innings with Prithvi Shaw, Warner etched a partnership of 83 runs in just 6.3 overs, putting Delhi in an undefeatable position. After Shaw was dismissed, Warner kept on with the onslaught and won the match for Delhi, remaining unbeaten. The Australian smacked 10 fours and a six in his inning. 

While talking about the match, Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant won the toss & opted to bowl first against Punjab Kings in the 32nd match of IPL 2022. DC bowlers put up a collective effort as they bowled out Punjab Kings for the lowest total of the season till now - 115/10 in 19.5 overs. Khaleel, Lalit, Kuldeep & Axar picked up 2 wickets each while Mustafizur Rahman picked up 1. In reply, DC chased down the total with 9 wickets and 57 balls in hand with explosive innings from openers Prithvi Shaw and David Warner. This match was played at Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai.
