IPL 2022: DC vs PBKS to go ahead as scheduled; DC vs RR shifted to Wankhede

New Delhi: The Indian cricket board (BCCI) opted to host match 32 of IPL 2022, Delhi Capitals vs Punjab Kings, as scheduled on Wednesday despite a second Delhi Capitals player testing positive earlier in the day. DC’s wicket-keeper batter Tim Seifert RT-PCR sample returned positive after fellow teammate Mitchell Marsh and four other staff members also tested positive a few days ago.

The release further stated that Seifert returned positive after the entire Delhi contingent underwent RT-PCR testing twice on Wednesday. This was also the second DC match that was relocated to Mumbai as today’s match against PBKS was earlier slated in MCA, Pune on the same day. The decision to shift the game was taken after Australian all-rounder Marsh and four other Delhi staff tested COVID-19 positive.
