NEW DELHI: Delhi Capitals (DC) head coach Ricky Ponting aimed to boost the morale of his team following a narrow four-wicket loss to Punjab Kings in their recent Indian Premier League (IPL) encounter. Despite the setback, Ponting emphasised that there's no need for drastic changes, as they were "almost there" in all aspects of the game during that match.
In the match at Mullanpur, a crucial half-century by Sam Curran, supported by his 67-run partnership with Liam Livingstone, propelled Punjab Kings (PBKS) to a hard-fought four-wicket victory over DC. This match also marked the return of Rishabh Pant to the field. Sam Curran's impactful performance earned him the 'Player of the Match' award.
