The bhangra of Punjab boys, Arshdeep and Prabhsimran, in the Himalaya’s foothills leaves LSG dancing on the edge of exit

The scores suggest the game was played on different strips. It was certainly not the case. LSG messed up their lengths on a surface with bounce and a hint of lateral movement, and Prabhsimran Singh was in no mood to spare them, as he turbocharged them to 236. Arshdeep Singh and Co harnessed the juice and sting off the surface to design a 37-run win, parachuting them to the second spot on the table and a step away from guaranteed play-off spot.

But the monstrosity of the defeat margin was reduced by the late dazzle of Ayush Badoni and Abdul Samad. The duo, aided by the delectable stroke-play, wowed the crowd, made some nervous too. But it was always a trek too steep for LSG.

Dharamsala Weather Report

Early morning thunderstorms and afternoon showers have been marked on the forecast for Dharamsala on May 8, Thursday. However, no rain is expected later on in the evening when the temperatures will dip below 19 degrees Celsius as the skies are predicted to remain clear, according to Accuweather.com.

Dharamsala Pitch Report

The Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala generally offers a fair contest between bat and ball. While batters can thrive here – evidenced by Punjab Kings’ hefty 236 runs in the most recent match – the seamers also find assistance from the pitch under the chilly evening conditions and firm strips which typically provides good pace and bounce

Delhi Capitals are nearing do-or-die territory in the race to the playoffs. Rain saved them the blushes in Hyderabad, earning them a crucial point from a tricky position, and they've reached Dharamsala at fifth spot with 13 points. Capitals have three losses and one no-result in their last five games, and in need of ending the rut quickly if they are to qualify for the playoffs.

The biggest area of concern for the side that started with four successive wins and then endured a steep slump, has been the loss of form of the batting unit. Karun Nair has failed to replicate the heroics from his comeback game in Delhi, KL Rahul's numbers have dwindled in the second half, Abhishek Porel hasn't always built on his explosive starts, and Faf du Plessis spent a handful of those games nursing an injury. The top-order collapse against SRH on a bowling-friendly surface had them reeling at 29/5 before the lower-order bailed them out to finish with a fighting 133 which was way off the par score for the conditions.

In sharp contrast, Punjab's top-order has been at the forefront of their resurgence this season. Prabhsimran Singh (437) and Priyansh Arya (347) have consistently provided fiery starts, and have been backed up by their reliable skipper Shreyas Iyer (405) and designated finishers Nehal Wadhera and Shashank Singh.
