Delhi Capitals 215 for 5 (Warner 61, Shaw 51, Narine 2-21) beat Kolkata Knight Riders XXX (Shreyas Iyer 54, Kuldeep 4-35, Khaleel 3-25) by 44 runs
A blazing opening stand from Prithvi Shaw and David Warner set Delhi Capitals up for a 44-run win over Kolkata Knight Riders at the Brabourne Stadium. The two added 93 in just 8.4 overs for the first wicket to lay the foundation, before cameos from Rishabh Pant, Shardul Thakur and Axar Patel propelled them to a daunting total of 215.
Shreyas Iyer had opted to bowl hoping for the pitch to get better in the second half. The pitch didn’t change much, though, and Knight Riders’ sedate start meant the asking rate was always on the rise. Shreyas and Nitish Rana kept them in the hunt for a while, but once they were dismissed the chase fizzled out.
Khaleel Ahmed, coming in for Anrich Nortje, picked up 3 for 25, including two at the top of the order, while Kuldeep Yadav mopped up the lower-middle order to finish with 4 for 35, including a three-wicket over.
