PBKS vs DC, IPL 2024 HIGHLIGHTS: Punjab Kings beat Delhi Capitals by 4 wickets in a last-over finish in Mullanpur.
LIVE
Background
Hello and Welcome everybody to ABP Live's Live Coverage of the IPL 2024 fixture between the Punjab Kings and the Delhi Capitals at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur. The biggest story of the contest will be the return of Rishabh Pant as wicketkeeper-batter and as captain after survivng a near-fatal car crash in December 2022. From fearing an amputation on his leg to going on to lead DC in the biggest cricket league in the world, is some story already.
How Pant performs on the pitch will be a different tale altogether. Both these teams have been competing in the tournament since its inaugural edition, have had a change in their name but not a change in their fortunes with the sides yet to have their hands on the trophy. Will it be different this year? We shall find out in due course as PBKS vs DC launches the 36th venue of the IPL.
For Punjab, it will be Shikhar Dhawan who will walk out at the toss. Away from the limelight of international cricket for a while and despite being one of the greats of India's limited-overs setup, it would be interesting to see how he approaches the final season before the mega-auction where chances are that his franchise might want to part ways with him, keeping an eye on the future.
All in all, things look set for a great clash with lots to look forward to.

PBKS vs DC, IPL 2024 LIVE SCORE: And Breathe!
Woah, there's another IPL fixture that has gone to the last over. But surely PBKS were the more dominant team. Post that spell from Arshdeep, innings from Sam Curran (63 off 47) and Livingstone (38* off 21) was enough for them to end on the winning side. The match will also be remembered for Pant's return and Abishek Porel's brilliant cameo worth 32 off 10 which ultimately went in vain.
