Warner brought up his third successive half-century of the season on Wednesday.
David Warner has been in red-hot form in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022as the southpaw, on Wednesday (April 20), brought up his third successive half-century of the season. The dashing opener dismantled the Punjab Kings bowling attack and scored an unbeaten 60 off just 30 deliveries. Notably, it was the very same track where PBKS were bundled out for 115 while batting first.
One of the finest batters in the history of the IPL, Warner parted ways with Sunrisers Hyderabad on a sour note following the conclusion of the last season. Nonetheless, the 35-year-old has found a new home at Delhi Capitals and he must be pretty pleased with his performance so far in the competition. Meanwhile, Warnercredited DC bowlers for making his task easier against PBKS.
“I think the bowlers did a fantastic job and made it easier for us. We had to go hard in the powerplay during the chase. It was a different surface compared to the last night, but credit to our bowlers. Was grateful that we were able to get out of our rooms and play tonight (Wednesday).
Warner’s opening partner Prithvi Shaw was equally destructive against PBKS as he scored 41 off just 20 balls. In fact, DC added 81 runs in the powerplay, the highest for any team in this tournament so far.
