The Delhi Capitals were able to avenge their last defeat against Punjab Kings and defeated them by 15 runs in the PBKS vs DC IPL 2023 match. However, the team had a pretty sloppy day in the field as they lost and dropped a lot of run-out and catching opportunities. Capitals coach Ricky Ponting was also fumed in anger when he saw Anrich Nortje and Yash Dhull dropping easy catches.
The first opportunity was dropped by Anrich Nortje when in the eighth over, Kuldeep Yadav tossed the ball up to Liam Livingstone and he tried to hit it out of the park. However, Liam was beaten in the flight and the ball went to Nortje towards the midwicket region. The catch was dropped by the right-arm fast bowler and this also left Kuldeep screaming at the fielder.
