A brutal night in the capital city as KKR subject Delhi to a fifth consecutive loss on home turf.

DC were put in to bat by KKR and had a decent start thanks to Pathum Nissanka and KL Rahul, who had a 49-run partnership in quick time. But things flipped soon after Rahul’s wicket – although Nissanka reached fifty, wickets kept tumbling to arrest the momentum.(Hindustan Times)

The match turned when Anukul Roy delivered the wickets of Pathum Nissanka and Tristan Stubbs in the same over – DC’s two trusty overseas options, both snapped up within a space of balls, and leaving them in trouble yet again. A wave of deja vu.(Rahul Singh)

Sunil Narine only took one wicket but bowled a terrific spell, conceding only 17 runs. Delhi’s batters simply didn’t have an answer – a 38-ball spell in the middle overs with no boundaries, the scoring rate dropping from close to 9 all the way down to 6. Axar Patel’s innings emblematic of it.(REUTERS)

Ashutosh Sharma provided some key emphasis late on with some creative strokeplay but even his boost wasn’t close to enough. His effort gave DC something to bowl at with 142/8 – but if KKR clicked, that was never going to be enough.(PTI)

KKR lost a couple of early wickets in really unfortunate fashion, but DC were hardly able to create any sort of opening of their own merit throughout the innings. Cameron Green played second-fiddle in a partnership worth 116, but it was all the Finn Allen show as he guided the team to a crushing 8-wicket victory.(AP)
