After briefly igniting hopes of a revival with back-to-back victories, the Delhi Capitals once again finished on the losing side with a seven-run defeat at the hands of Sunrisers Hyderabad on Saturday. IPL 2023: Full coverage | Points table | Schedule | Results | Orange Cap | Purple Cap​ Delhi had an opportunity to move out of the bottom of the table for the first time since the early stages of IPL 2023, and certainly had momentum on their side heading into their second meeting with the SRH in less than a week, this time at their Arun Jaitley Stadium, their home turf. The Capitals, after all, successfully defended a 145-run target against the Sunrisers on Monday earlier this week, showing great composure to dry up the scoring rate and trigger a collapse in the middle overs. While it was the batting department that let the Sunrisers down on Monday, the same group played a key role in their seven-run victory on the weekend, albeit with a couple of tweaks to the lineup.

Skipper Aiden Markram hailed a “great team effort” from the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) after their seven-run victory over Delhi Capitals (DC) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Saturday. IPL 2023: Full coverage | Points table | Schedule | Results | Orange Cap | Purple Cap​ Not only did SRH snap a three-game losing run with the narrow win at Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium, they also registered their first win over DC in two years, having lost four games in a row starting with Qualifier 2 in the 2020 edition. “It was a great team effort. It’s good to see the guys put in great efforts in the buildup to this game and good to see a nice fresh approach from the batters and some good character and good skills at the end by the bowlers too,” Markram said in the post-match presentation ceremony after the victory that took them past Mumbai Indians to the eighth spot on the points table. Opener Abhishek Sharma (67) and wicketkeeper-batter Heinrich Klaasen (53 not out) struck half-centuri

Pakistan vs New Zealand 2nd ODI toss report : Pakistan won the toss and opted to field for a second game in a row in the ongoing ODI series against New Zealand. While Pakistan skipper Babar Azam announced three changes in the Pakistan lineup for the second ODI in Rawalpindi, with Abdullah Shafique, Usama Mir and the uncapped Ihsanullah getting included, the Black Caps brought in James Neesham and Henry Shipley for Adam Milne and Blair Tickner. After having levelled the T20I series in the white-ball tour of Pakistan with a six-wicket win in the series finale, New Zealand will aim to bounce back after suffering a five-wicket defeat in the opening one-dayer at the Pindi Cricket Stadium. Daryl Mitchell’s ton (113) ended up going in vain in the first ODI, with Pakistan opener Fakhar Zaman (117) hitting a century of his own and wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan’s unbeaten 42 helping Pakistan chase down the 289-run target with five wickets and nine deliveries to spare.

Gujarat Titans once again took over the top spot in the IPL points table with a convincing 7-wicket win over Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens on Saturday. GT, led by Hardik Pandya, did everything right on the day: from the toss to the chase. IPL 2023: Full coverage | Points table | Schedule | Results | Orange Cap | Purple Cap​ At the toss, Pandya went by the conditions and not the pitch. With dark clouds overhead and rain in the air, GT decided to field instead of the preferred option to bat. He was almost immediately proven right with light rain that pushed the game off by 45 minutes. When play resumed, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, coming in as a replacement for the injured Jason Roy, made the difference early on even after losing his opening partner N Jagadeeshan cheaply. Shardul Thakur was promoted up the order but the gamble didn’t work out as her perished after just four balls without scoring. Gurbaz went after Pandya, Mohammed Shami and Rashid Khan and steered KKR to 61/

Marcus Stoinis insisted he was happy to bat wherever or bowl whenever the team needed him after playing a central role in Lucknow Super Giants’ crushing 56-run victory over Punjab Kings in Mohali on Friday. IPL 2023:  Full coverage  |  Points table  |  Schedule  |  Results  |  Orange Cap  |  Purple Cap​ Australia all-rounder Stoinis top-scored for Lucknow with a 40-ball 72, helping the side post a mammoth 257/5 on the board, before dismissing opposition captain Shikhar Dhawan in the very first over of the Punjab chase, with the home team getting bundled out for 201 in reply. “I do enjoy the responsibility of batting a bit lower and seeing the game home. Part of my journey is batting at every position. Bowl the first over, bowl the last over. I’m happy to do whatever my team needs,” Stoinis, who was adjudged the Player of the Match, said during the post-match presentation ceremony at the IS Bindra PCA Stadium in Mohali.

The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) batters put up a dominant show against Punjab Kings on Friday, posting the highest total of IPL 2023 and the second-highest overall in the history of the tournament. IPL 2023:  Full coverage  |  Points table  |  Schedule  |  Results  |  Orange Cap  |  Purple Cap​ Powered by blazing fifties from Marcus Stoinis (72 off 40) and opener Kyle Mayers (54 off 24) as well as valuable contributions from Nicholas Pooran (45 off 19) and Ayush Badoni (43 off 24), LSG posted 257/5 at the end of their innings after being invited to bat by PBKS at the PCA Stadium in Mohali. It was the highest total of the 16th season of the league, going past Chennai Super Kings’ 235/4 against Kolkata Knight Riders at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens. More importantly, it was also only the second time that a team had crossed the 250-mark in the history of the IPL.

Just like how Kolkata Knight Riders completed the double over Royal Challengers Bangalore in the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League, Rajasthan Royals did the same against Chennai Super Kings in Jaipur on Thursday. IPL 2023:  Full coverage  |  Points table  |  Schedule  |  Results  |  Orange Cap  |  Purple Cap​ Before the match, CSK were on top of the IPL standings with 10 points. But, that changed following the Royals’ victory over Chennai, with Sanju Samson and Co taking the top spot, albeit momentarily. On Thursday against CSK, young Yashasvi Jaiswal stepped up. He stepped up at the right time, giving his team the startthey needed after batting first. Jaiswal and Buttler are synonymous for fifty-run partnerships, and it was a similar story on Thursday. Jaiswal was hitting the shots right from the word go. He began RR’s innings with a boundary, facing Akash Singh, and punishing him with a smash through covers for four. 7⃣7⃣ Runs 4⃣3⃣ Balls 8⃣ Fours 4⃣ Sixes @ybj_19

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper MS Dhoni on Thursday felt that the target of 203 that was set by Rajasthan Royals (RR) was a ‘bit above par’, and that the Yellow Brigade gave ‘too many runs’ in the powerplay. IPL 2023:  Full coverage  |  Points table  |  Schedule  |  Results  |  Orange Cap  |  Purple Cap​ Having opted to bat first, RR made full use of the first six overs, amassing 64 runs without losing a wicket. Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal was the standout performer with the bat for RR, scoring 77 off just 43 deliveries. CSK bowlers found it tough to maintain the flow of boundaries. “It (target) was quite a bit above par. The reason was the first six overs, gave too many runs, but at the same time the pitch was best to bat on at that time. Even when they were finishing the edges kept going for boundaries. They got par+ score and we were not able to stop the runs,” Dhoni said after the match. Sri Lanka’s Matheesha Pathira went for 48 runs from four overs without taking a wicket, but

“We handed them the game. We did deserve to lose. We handed them a victory. We were certainly not up to standard,” said Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) stand-in skipper Virat Kohli after their 21-run loss to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in Bengaluru on Wednesday. IPL 2023:  Full coverage  |  Points table  |  Schedule  |  Results  |  Orange Cap  |  Purple Cap​ Virat Kohli surely knows a thing or two about dealing in pressure match situations, but on Wednesday, the situation was different. RCB had leaked 69 runs in the last five overs to allow KKR post 200/5 after asking them to bat first. Once again, RCB’s death bowling plans did not go well, and once again, RCB batters succumbed to a run-chase pressure. That is not something new. We’ve seen it before, RCB have done that before. A setback today but we'll dust ourselves off and bounce back. 🙌 Those #AaaarCeeBee #AaarCeeBee chants even when we needed 24 off the last ball will be our motivation as we prepare for our long awa

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) stand-in skipper Virat Kohli on Wednesday admitted that they ‘handed’ the game to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), following Bengaluru’s 21- run defeat at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. IPL 2023:  Full coverage  |  Points table  |  Schedule  |  Results  |  Orange Cap  |  Purple Cap​ A few dropped chances by RCB proved costly, as Jason Roy (56) and Nitish Rana (48) led KKR to 200/5 from 20 overs. RCB have been heavily reliant on their top trio of Du Plessis, Kohli and Glenn Maxwell to produce the runs, and on Wednesday their batting issues returned to haunt them. Du Plessis, used as an impact substitute, managed only 17, while Kohli (54) and Mahipal Lomror (34) scored bulk of the runs. Dinesh Karthik too scored 22 off 18, but that was certainly not enough while looking to chase down a big total. “To be honest we handed them the game. We did deserve to lose. We handed them a victory. We were certainly not up to standard. If you look at the game, we didn’t ca

Mumbai Indians (MI) skipper Rohit Sharma termed his team’s 55-run defeat to Gujarat Titans (GT) in IPL 2023 as a ‘little disappointing’, lamenting that his team went for ‘few too many runs’ in the last few overs of the GT innings. IPL 2023:  Full coverage  |  Points table  |  Schedule  |  Results  |  Orange Cap  |  Purple Cap​ GT were only 100/3 in 12.1 overs, but MI went onto concede more than 100 runs in the next 7.5 overs, with the Titans finishing their innings at 207/6. In fact, 77 runs came off the last five overs, with Abhinav Manohar and David Miller running riot for GT with boundaries and maximums all over the park. In reply, there was not much determination from most of MI’s batters as they were restricted to 152/9 from 20 overs. “It’s a little disappointing. We pretty much had control of the game till the last few overs when we went for too many runs. It’s just about execution. We need to execute what’s right, who are the batsmen, those kind of things. But in the end we

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) skipper Aiden Markram lamented his team’s lack of intent following their seven-run defeat to Delhi Capitals (DC) in an Indian Premier League (IPL) match in Uppal on Monday. IPL 2023:  Full coverage  |  Points table  |  Schedule  |  Results  |  Orange Cap  |  Purple Cap​ That defeat was their third successive loss, and Markram admitted that his bowlers did not deserve to be on the losing side. Washington Sundar had picked three wickets in a single over, removing David Warner, Sarfaraz Khan and Aman Khan in the eighth over, while Bhuvneshwar Kumar (2/11) and T Natarajan (1/21) were also among the wickets. Their collective effort helped them restrict DC to 144/9. “Not good with the bat again, not enough intent. We looked a team that was not excited to win a game of cricket unfortunately. We’ll have to go back to look how we can chase better, be more free as a team and as a unit and hopefully that can help us going forward. It’s difficult. You can say all the

If there was one word to describe Chennai Super Kings’ performance against Kolkata Knight Riders in their Indian Premier League match at Eden Gardens on Sunday, it would be: Clinical. IPL 2023:  Full coverage  |  Points table  |  Schedule  |  Results  |  Orange Cap  |  Purple Cap​ Sunday witnessed a perfect win for CSK against KKR in the latter’s home ground, and courtesy a dominant display by the batters, the match was more or less sealed in the first-half itself. Devon Conway (56), Ajinkya Rahane (71*) and Shivam Dube (50) scored half-centuries to help CSK post the highest T20 total at Eden Gardens (235/4), but it’s only fair to say that every CSK batter rose up to the big occasion. Be it Ruturaj Gaikwad’s 20-ball 35 or Ravindra Jadeja’s eight-ball 18, none of the CSK batters’s performances went unnoticed. And it did not even feel like they were missing the services of Ben Stokes and Deepak Chahar. Conway continues a streak, Rahane stands out again Sunday was not the first occa

Rahane’s 71, and fifties from Devon Conway and Shivam Dube led CSK to a mammoth total of 235/4 from 20 overs. Rahane was adjudged the Player of the Match for his heroics with the bat. “Just had a clear mindset. If the thing between your ears is right, your mind is right then you’ll be fine.

IPL 2023:  Full coverage  |  Points table  |  Schedule  |  Results  |  Orange Cap  |  Purple Cap​ Left-arm seamer Arshdeep Singh emerged the hero as Punjab Kings won a high-scoring thriller against the Mumbai Indians in Match 31 of IPL 2023 on Saturday. Arshdeep grabbed 4 for 29 in what is one of the standout performances his nascent career so far, helping Punjab survive a spirited fightback from Mumbai and collect their fourth win of the season in seven matches. Arshdeep’s stocks had steadily been rising in the IPL over the years and his consistency in the world’s biggest T20 league is what helped him break into the Indian team last year. And in the current season of the Indian Premier League, where he returns to the Punjab Kings lineup on the back of international success, Arshdeep appears to have
