Tata IPL 2022, KKR vs DC Highlights: Delhi Capitals end losing streak with 44 run win

ALL OUT!

Rasikh is the last wicket to fall. Slower delivery by Thakur, Salam looks to crouch and slog it but miscues and gets a top edge. Powell with the simple catch at long on

Salam c Powell b Thakur 7 (6)

RUSSELL GONE!

Last over of the chase and Russell departs for 24 runs. Slower delivery by Thakur, back of a length, angling across and sent to Sarfaraz at deep point

Russell c Sarfaraz b Thakur 24 (21)

UMESH GONE!

Kuldeep Yadav finishes with a wicket and he will begin the next match with a shot at a hat-trick! What a catch by Kuldeep to follow on his delivery. Diving catch, on the run, at mid-wicket region

Umesh c & b 0 (1)

NARINE GONE!

After slapping a four, Narine departs. Little wide of off, turns away after pitching, Narine sends it wide of long off where Powell does the rest

Narine c Powell b Kuldeep 4 (2)

Given out, review, CUMMINS OUT!

Cummins is given out leg before and he has decided to go for the review. He goes for a big swing to Kuldeep, misses completely and the ball hits the back leg. No inside edge for sure. Pitches in line, umpire’s call on hitting leg stump and that’s gone!

Cummins lbw Kuldeep Yadav 4 (3)

BILLINGS GONE!

Billings goes fetching well outside off by Khaleel, goes for the slog sweep, it has been skied and Lalit Yadav completes the simple catch. That’s game, set and match?

Billings c Yadav b Ahmed 15 (9)

IYER GONE!

Ball after bringing up his fifty, Iyer departs! Kuldeep gets his revenge and he’s pumped and rightly so. Pitched on slightly good length on off stump, turns away from the right hander, Iyer is down the track to clobber it but is beaten. 

Iyer st Pant b Yadav 54 (33)

FIFTY! KKR skipper Shreyas Iyer brings up his fifty in style. A 32-ball fifty brought on by a smashing six!

RANA GONE!

Dipping full toss by Lalit, Rana clears his front leg and miscues the slog. Finds Shaw at long on!

Rana c Shaw b Yadav 30 (20), KKR are 107/3

Not out, review, not out it is!

Loud appeal for leg before on Nitish Rana by Lalit Yadav. Pant reviews after considering it for a moment. Ball tracking says it is missing stumps comfortably

50 run stand between Shreyas Iyer and Nitish Rana in under six overs

After 6 overs,Kolkata Knight Riders 43/2 ( Shreyas Iyer (C) 14 , Nitish Rana 2)

At the end of the powerplay overs, KKR are 43/2 having lost Ajinkya Rahane and Venkatesh Iyer cheaply. Nitish Rana and Shreyas Iyer occupy the crease and the task of chasing 216 down looking increasingly difficult

RAHANE GONE!

Slower one by Khaleel Ahmed, Rahane looked to go over the bowler’s head but gets a top edge and skies it. Shardul Thakur runs from mid-on towards the boundary and completes a fantastic catch on the fumble

Rahane c Thakur b Ahmed 8 (14), KKR are 38/2

IYER GONE!

Venkatesh Iyer departs just after collecting a four. Iyer had gone well outside the leg stump, Khaleel Ahmed followed him and cramped the leftie for room. The pull is sent straight to Axar at deep square leg

Iyer c Patel b Ahmed 18 (8), KKR are 21/1

Third ball, out, no appeal!

Full, outside off by Mustafizur, Rahane goes for a drive away from his body, and there’s an edge behind to Pant. No appeal. Pant gestures he heard nothing, Ponting has his head in his hands. Rahane riding his luck!

Out, review, Not out!

Rahane has been given out caught behind off the very first ball. He takes the review. Nothing on UltraEdge. Decision has to be overturned. DRS comes to Rahane’s rescue

So, @DelhiCapitals get 215 without #Sarfraz having a hit. Don't think he will be content watching it unless he has sustained an injury in the dugout..#IPL2022#DCvKKR

TARGET: KKR need 216 runs to win

Delhi Capitals finish on 215 runs with Shardul Thakur remaining unbeaten on 29 from 11 balls and Axar Patel on 22 runs from 14 balls. 39 runs from the last two overs and this is the biggest total of IPL 2022

Thoughts?

I think Sarfaraz is a better batsman than Axar and Shardul. Don’t understand the logic behind sending these two ahead of a proper batsman Sarfaraz #DoddaMathu #IPL2022 #CricketTwitter

WARNER GONE!

Next ball, Warner departs! Slower one from Umesh, runs his fingers through the ball, Warner doesn’t time the pull well enough and it is taken comfortably at deep square leg by Rahane

Warner c Rahane b Umesh 61 (45), DC are 166/5

POWELL GONE!

Narine comes in for his final over of the day. First ball, Powell departs! Full ball on off stump, Powell went for the slog sweep, miscues it and it is well into the air. Substitute Rinku Singh completes the catch at fine leg

Powell c Rinku b Narine 8 (6), DC are 161/4
