The 32nd match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 saw the Delhi Capitals (DC) face the Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai. According to the IPL schedule, the fixture was slated to be played at the MCA Stadium in Pune but was shifted following a COVID-19 outbreak in the DC camp.

Opting to bowl first after winning the toss, the Rishabh Pant-led side put on a potent bowling display. The spin trio of Lalit Yadav, Kuldeep Yadav, and Axar Patel played a huge part in the game, claiming six wickets between them. The bowling unit's efforts restricted PBKS to the lowest total in the tournament so far.

Chasing 116, Prithvi Shaw and David Warner grabbed the opportunity to improve their net run rate with both hands. The pair recorded 81 runs in the powerplay, which is the highest score in that phase of the game in this year's edition.

David Warner recorded his third fifty of the season as DC reached the target with over nine overs to spare.
