In the IPL 2026 fixture at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala on Monday (May 11, 2026), it was Delhi Capitals’ turn to upstage Kings, coming up trumps by three wickets.Chasing 211 in favourable conditions to condemn PBKS to its fourth successive defeat, DC was poor at the beginning of its pursuit and lost the top three within the fifth over. But Capitals had skipper Axar Patel and David Miller to thank as the left-handed batters haunted their former franchise with match-influencing half-centuries.Poor fielding and mediocre execution with the ball once again let Kings down. The host was severely punished for handing a reprieve to Axar, who saw Suryansh Shedge spill a tough chance off Ben Dwarshuis when he was on 25.The 32-year-old never let the run-rate pressure get to him, taking special liking to left-arm pacers Dwarshuis and Marco Jansen. He stitched a vital 64-run fifth-wicket alliance with Miller before the South African put the visitor on the cusp of victory.When Marcus Stoinis halted Axar’s progress in the last ball of the 14th over, Capitals still had work to do. Miller, with assistance from Ashutosh Sharma and Madhav Tiwari, did enough to guide his side to victory with an over to spare. The contest was as good as over after Ashutosh and Madhav combined to smash Stoinis for 19 runs in the 18th over.The groundwork for the win was laid by the DC pacers, who engineered a comeback that proved key in the end. Auqib Nabi’s miserly effort in the PowerPlay, late strikes from Mitchell Starc and Madhav’s two-fer were worth their weight in gold despite good knocks from PBKS opening batter Priyansh Arya and Shreyas Iyer.The away team fought back once it found the right lengths and variations which were effective on the track. While Mukesh Kumar drew first blood by dismissing Prabhsimran Singh and breaking a 78-run alliance, Madhav sent back Priyansh, who found Sahil Parakh at sweeper-cover.The persistent effort of the fast bowlers, who sent down all the overs, helped restrict PBKS to 210 for five even after the home side blazed to 51 without loss in three overs. Those small actions had a big impact. Published - May 12, 2026 12:45 am IST
IPL 2026: Axar Patel, David Miller, Ashutosh Sharma help Delhi Capitals ...
Delhi Capitals accomplished the highest successful chase in IPL history by overhauling 210 runs with six balls to spare against Punjab Kings in Match 55 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamsala, on Monday. A strong performance from captain Axar Patel, an aggressive innings from David Miller, and a bold late cameo from IPL debutant Madhav Tiwari. Delhi Capitals chased down 211 after facing early setbacks at 14/2 and later 138/5. The chase started poorly. Before this, the highest successful T20 chase in Dharamsala had been South Africa's 200 against India in 2015. In the IPL, Chennai Super Kings' 193 against Kings XI Punjab in 2010 set the record. PBKS’ opening bowlers seemed ready to defend 210 as Arshdeep Singh conceded only six runs in the first over, despite an edged boundary. The first blow came quickly. Playing his first game of the season, Shardul Thakur bowled Abishek Porel with a well-placed ball that knocked the middle stump out of the ground. Add Zee News as a Preferred Source Things got worse when KL Rahul top-edged a pull shot off Arshdeep, allowing Marco Jansen to sprint from first slip to make a spectacular diving catch ahead of Prabhsimran Singh. At 14/2 after three overs, DC was under significant pressure. Debutant Sahil Parakh briefly lifted the mood. After almost getting out on his second ball against Bhuvneshwar Kumar, he opened his account with a six over long-off off Thakur and later contributed a boundary in a 20-run fourth over that also included two fours from Tristan Stubbs. But Arshdeep returned in the third Power-play to dismiss Parakh for 14. The batter mistimed a ramp shot towards short fine leg, where Yuzvendra Chahal nearly dropped a simple catch before securing it. DC stood at 38/3 after five overs, but Axar and Stubbs began to build a solid partnership. However, PBKS’s fielding mixed moments of brilliance with mistakes. Arshdeep dropped Stubbs at long-on off Ben Dwarshuis, while Suryansh Shedge later misjudged Axar’s shot at deep square leg. Eventually, Stubbs was run out after a mix-up, with Cooper Connolly making a sharp direct hit at the bowler’s end. Miller then entered the game and, along with Axar, reignited the chase. Dew settled in, making the ball slippery, which led PBKS to change it after giving away 15 wides in 13 overs. Axar, who had scored just 44 runs in eight innings before this match at an average of 6.3, finally found his rhythm. He hit M...
