PBKS vs DC, 58th Match at Dharamsala, IPL, May 08 2025 - Ball by Ball Commentary

an agricultural slog across the line, and Arya bites the dust! Looks like a slower ball, banged into the track on middle and leg. Arya looks to access the leg side again but for the first time in a while, loses his shape completely. Beaten by the lack of pace too and all he manages is a tame top edge that is gobbled up by Tiwari at short third.

But take nothing away from this knock - another pace-setting innings, and a true clinic of stroke-making!

more streaky runs, but PBKS will not mind it at all! Fullish and hung up wide outside off. Prabhsimran throws the plumbing at it and the ball flies off the outside edge over short third!
