🏏IPL 2025 - Match 58: PBKS vs DC on 8th May at Dharamsala🏏 - Page 5

Match delayed by rain.

Can the prediction window remain open until actual match time please?

Cheers..

Are yaar this rain is playing in every match

The toss should have been taking place now, but what we have is a steady band of rain and the square being firmly under covers. Looks like we could be in for a bit of a delay.

Richard: "Read somewhere that Punjab will qualify if they win today as only 3 other teams can get to 17 or more points. Is it true?" -- Yes, that is right. At this point, there are five teams (including PBKS) who can go up to 17 points or more. DC, if they lose tonight, can only get to a maximum of 17 points but in doing so, they will have to beat MI, who will then finish with a tally lower than that of Punjab.

Mitchell Starc: (On the challenges of playing the IPL) You got all the best players in one spot, it’s pretty relentless at times with all the travel and play. One of those days where you compartmentalize and get on with the job. Be attacking - that’s been my role in many formats for many times. I try and be aggressive, swing the ball and make inroads. Try and adapt to conditions as quickly as we can. With the impact player rule, you have to try and think outside the box and think a step ahead. If it’s not swinging you need to find different ways to be effective. As bowlers collectively, people have found that, some have done it better than others. (Yorkers) Comes down to execution, some days it’s going to work and some days it isn’t. Some days you’re going to bowl an over and get the team over the line and some days the batter is going to get you. Been around for long enough to be a goldfish really, think about the next game really quickly. Sometimes you’re going to miss and sometimes you’re going to hit six in a row. Unfortunately it’s not going to happen every time.

Uh-oh, there's a bit of rain. It isn't heavy. The covers are on and toss has been delayed!

Josh Inglis: The sixes (in the previous game) were honestly just me reacting to the ball, the move to three was something Shreyas and Ricky spoke about, they wanted to get me in inside the powerplay, thoroughly enjoyed my innings. This team is going so well, happy to slot in anywhere. (Challenges on playing in India) The different conditions you face, the plethora of world-class bowlers as well, you can come up against spinning wickets or you can get some really good wickets as well. He’s (Ponting) been really good around the group, he’s got a wealth of experience, his communication, especially with the younger guys has been awesome.
