Chasing 229, Nitish Rana played a confident knock of 58 from 35 balls following Sunil Narine's early dismissal. Rana went onto build a 64-run stand with Shubman Gill for the second wicket. Sportzpics
KKR lost a flurry of wickets and were 122-6 at one stage, but a 78-run stand between Eoin Morgan and Rahul Tripathi helped them stay in the hunt for victory. However, momentum was lost in the final stages, meaning  DC walked away with the win. Sportzpics
