Punjab Kings moved up to the sixth position in the IPL 2023 points table with a 31-run win against the Delhi Capitals on Saturday, May 13. The Mohali-based franchise also kept themselves alive in the race to the playoffs with this win.

A brilliant performance from Prabhsimran Singh and spin bowlers helped the Punjab Kings defeat the Delhi Capitals by 31 runs. Singh stole the show in the first innings by scoring his maiden IPL ton. None of the other PBKS batters could score big, but Singh's ton guided them to 167/7 in 20 overs.

Chasing a target of 168 runs, the Delhi Capitals got off to a flying start. Phil Salt and David Warner added 69 runs for the first wicket, but Harpreet Brar and Rahul Chahar destroyed the DC batting lineup soon after the powerplay ended.

Brar bagged four wickets, while Chahar took two as DC were left reeling at 88/6 in the 11th over. Aman Khan, Kuldeep Yadav, and Pravin Dubey tried their best to guide DC home, but the Capitals only managed 136/8 in 20 overs, losing by 31 runs.
