DC 136/3 (13.1)

DC vs KKR LIVE: Axar Patel continues the boundaries

Delhi Capitals are playing this run chase to perfection. Varun Chakravarthy was bowling a good over, but Axar picks up a boundary through the covers, slashes hard. 9 off it. Varun has been expensive today.

DC 130/3 (13)

DC vs KKR LIVE: 13 off the over!

Axar Patel gets another boundary to end the over! Down the ground and Powell’s dive couldn’t stop it. Andre Russell’s first over hasn’t delivered the wicket for KKR that it so often days. Partnership between Faf and Axar up to 61 off 39, and it is steering Delhi home at this rate.

DC 121/3 (12)

DC vs KKR LIVE: Rahane off the field!

Ajinkya Rahane is now off the field, trying to stop a boundary and seems to have cut his finger. Andre Russell bowls a no-ball on his very first ball, and gets punished for 4. Meanwhile, Venkatesh Iyer has been subbed off so Sunil Narine is standing in as KKR captain!

DC 114/3 (11.1)

DC vs KKR LIVE: Faf controlling the chase

Faf du Plessis is in excellent touch! Through cover for another boundary off Harshit Rana. Delhi Capitals’ required run-rate is under 11, and with powerhitters to come, they look in control of the run chase at the moment. KKR need wickets soon.

DC 108/3 (11)

DC vs KKR LIVE: Big appeal!

Axar Patel survives! Appeal for a caught behind given not out by the umpire, Harshit urges Rahane to go for the review. No edge, but it did hit the pads and is so close to being out LBW! Umpire’s call on impact, but wickets hitting.

DC 102/3 (10.3)

DC vs KKR LIVE: 50 for Faf

Faf du Plessis completes a measured half-century off 31 balls. A great knock by him, and a return to form. Meanwhile Axar is going all guns at the other end. He is writhing in pain, so he’s just hitting as much as he can as long as he’s out there.

DC 102/3 (10.2)

Delhi Capitals vs Kolkata Knight Riders LIVE: SIX to finish!

It was turning out to be a great over by Sunil Narine, but Axar Patel has smashed another six off Sunil Narine. He is in pain, but he is doing a phenomenal job for his franchise at the moment. Delhi Capitals look comfortable in this run chase right now.

DC 97/3 (10)

DC vs KKR LIVE: Now 6!

Faf du Plessis ends the over magnificently! Over long-on! Expensive over by Varun Chakravarthy, 16 coming off it. The 40-year-old Faf looks in great groove and has held one end brilliantly despite wickets going down at the other. DC well in this chase.

DC 87/3 (9)

DC vs KKR LIVE: 4, 4 Faf!

Faf du Plessis is picking some runs off Varun here. Well-set and into the 40s now. First one pitched short and helped through mid-wicket. Next one is quicker, on the pads, and is flicked through fine leg for 4.

DC 81/3 (8.4)

Delhi Capitals vs Kolkata Knight Riders LIVE: SIX!

Injury? What injury? Axar Patel slams his first boundary, one-handed almost, excellent connection. Clears the ropes over long-on for a maximum off Sunil Narine. Delhi will need these two to stitch a partnership here.

DC 69/3 (7.3)

DC vs KKR LIVE: Great over by Anukul

Anukul Roy completes yet another amazing over. Just 4 runs off it, and the run out. Axar Patel is out into the middle at No. 5, despite concerns over his fitness. Remember, he had injured his arm while fielding and had gone off. Narine will bowl next.

DC 62/3 (7)

DC vs KKR LIVE: KL RAHUL GONE!

KL Rahul is run out! Sunil Narine with some exceptional fielding! This could be a big moment in this run chase. Huge wicket for KKR. Miscommunication between the batters, Narine with a great throw from fine-leg, direct hit and Rahul is short!

DC 60/3 (6.3)

DC vs KKR LIVE: Inside edge, 4!

Varun Chakravarthy is bamboozling the batters in his first over, but Faf du Plessis gets a lucky inside edge which runs away fine for 4. 50 up for Delhi Capitals in 5.4 overs, their run-rate is certainly not bad. And another 4, flicked leg-side for 4 more by KL Rahul.

DC 58/2 (6)

DC vs KKR LIVE: Good over by Arora

Two boundaries in the over but a big wicket too. KKR have pinned Delhi Capitals down slightly in the powerplay, but they have two high-quality, highly-experienced openers in the middle now in the form of Faf du Plessis and KL Rahul.

DC 48/2 (5)

DC vs KKR LIVE: OUT!

Vaibhav Arora gets Karun Nair! Excellent DRS review! Arora caught Nair on the pads, umpire initially gave not out but the pacer was adamant! Rahane goes up, and guess what, it is three reds and on the pads. DC lose their second in the powerplay.

DC 43/2 (4.3)

DC vs KKR LIVE: 14 off the over!

Another boundary for Faf! Short from Rana and Faf punishes it through mid-wicket yet again. Fielder is too square, Faf has treated himself to three boundaries in this over and broken loose. Delhi Capitals get their run-rate back on track.

DC 39/1 (4)

DC vs KKR LIVE: Faf survives!

Faf du Plessis gets no timing trying to play a big shot, skies it, but luckily for him it falls in no man’s land! Rovman Powell cuts off the boundary at long-on, but that could’ve so easily gone to a fielder. Next ball, Faf slams it through mid-wicket for 4!

DC 35/1 (3.4)

DC vs KKR LIVE: Great shot!

Harshit Rana provides pace and width to Faf du Plessis and gets punished by the South African, who slaps it past the backward point fielder for 4. These two batters slowly getting the DC run chase back on track after the early wicket.

DC 29/1 (3.2)

DC vs KKR LIVE: 4!

Karun Nair gives himself and room and whacks Anukul Roy over cover for 4. Anukul has been trusted with another over in the powerplay by Rahane. Nair goes for a similar shot on the next ball, but this one is cut off at the boundary by Powell.

DC 23/1 (2.2)

DC vs KKR LIVE: SIX!

First maximum! Faf du Plessis nails the timing on this one. Comes down the track, frees his arms and clobbers it back over the bowler’s head for six. Great shot. Delhi Capitals will hope for a few more of these in the powerplay.

DC 15/1 (1.4)

DC vs KKR LIVE: What an over

A superb first over by Anukul Roy. Concedes just 7 runs, an 4 of them came on the very first ball. Delivers a wicket, and you have to doff your hat to Rahane for trusting Anukul with the ball. Excellent start by KKR.

DC 7/1 (1)

DC vs KKR LIVE: OUT!

Masterstroke! Rahane’s bold gamble has paid off and Anukul Roy has got the wicket of Abishek Porel. Utterly sensational. Porel steps out, tries to go big, mistimes it and an easy catch for Andre Russell at long-off. Superb stuff from KKR.

DC 4/0 (0.2)

DC vs KKR LIVE: Anukul Roy first over!

Anukul Roy has been given the first over by Ajinkya Rahane, this is a big call. Four off the first ball, Anukul gets on the back foot and slams it through the off-side. Good shot from Porel who will be hoping to tee off at the start.

DC 4/0 (0.1)

DC vs KKR LIVE: “Bowlers will need to bowl really well”

Angkrish Raghuvanshi thinks 204 is just about par on this wicket, and that their isnt much help for the spinners either. DC will be hoping their openers can deliver as well as KKR did in their powerplay. They certainly have the power to chase this down.

DC vs KKR LIVE: Big injury worry for Delhi Capitals

Axar Patel’s injury is a big concern for DC. Multiple visuals showing him in discomfort on the Delhi dugout, and it was Faf du Plessis who led the team on the final few overs. Delhi do have a fairly deep batting lineup to make up if Axar is absent.

Delhi Capitals vs Kolkata Knight Riders LIVE: KKR finish on 204

KKR finish on 204. After a sensational start, they would’ve hoped for a much bigger total. Delhi’s spinners and death bowling was mostly on-point, and they’ve prevented a 220+ total here. However, 204 should still be a really good score on this pitch.

KKR 204/9 (20 overs)

DC Target: 205

DC vs KKR LIVE: RUN OUT

No hattrick, but Andre Russell is gone trying to scamper a single! Harshit Rana on strike, misses it, keeper collects and throws a direct hit on the stumps to get Russell out. Starc goes for a review to see if he has got a hattrick, but no he hasn’t.

KKR 203/9 (19.5)

DC vs KKR LIVE: What a catch!

Dushmantha Chameera, WOW! Sensational catch, diving to his left, and Mitchell Starc is on a hattrick. Anukul Roy going for a flicked six, but dismissed by a terrific catch at the fine-leg boundary.

KKR 203/8 (19.4)

DC vs KKR LIVE: OUT!

Mitchell Starc gets Rovman Powell! KKR decided to run a single on the last ball, Powell has looked out of sorts and misses the yorker from Starc. Umpire has no hesitation in giving it out. Powell goes up with a DRS review, but hawkeye shows three reds. Second wicket for Starc.

KKR 203/7 (19.3)

DC vs KKR LIVE: SIX!

200 UP FOR KKR! Starc goes for the yorker but misses his length and he is punished by Dre Russ! Straight back over the bowler’s head over a maximum. And when Russell hits them, they stay hit!

KKR 201/6 (19.1)

DC vs KKR LIVE: 14 off the over

Two boundaries and a bunch of wides end up in KKR getting 14 off Chameera’s over. Mitch Starc will bowl the final over, Dre Russ on strike. Can KKR get 200? 

KKR 195/6 (19)

DC vs KKR LIVE: Misfield!

Chameera was doing an excellent job of silencing the KKR power-hitters, but Russell gets a boundary after a misfield by Karun Nair at deep point. The ball ricochets off Nair’s thigh and rolls away for a boundary. Next ball, Russell swings hard and gets a boundary through third man.

KKR 193/6 (18.4)

DC vs KKR LIVE: DC pegging back KKR

Delhi Capitals’ death bowling has been magnificent so far, led by Dushmantha Chameera, who is also bowling the 19th over. Chameera is going for the wide yorkers against Powell, but ends up bowling two wides.

KKR 183/6 (18.1)

DC vs KKR LIVE: Axar Patel in pain

Axar Patel falls hard trying to save a single, seems like he has hurt his left hand. Physios come out to treat him, and now he’s going off the field! Let’s hope it is nothing serious for Axar here. Worrying signs for DC.

KKR 177/6 (17.4)

Delhi Capitals vs Kolkata Knight Riders LIVE: Vipraj strikes!

Rinku is gone! The decision to hand Vipraj the ball has worked! Mitch Starc with an excellent catch at long-on, Rinku won’t be able to finish off here. Pressure on Russell and Powell now, Rinku slams his bat in fury.

KKR 177/6 (17.3)

DC vs KKR LIVE: Excellent over by Chameera

Dushmantha Chameera bowls out a superb 17th over. Only 7 runs conceded, bowling according to plan and taking a wicket too. What can Rinku Singh and Andre Russell do in the final 3 overs? Bold call by DC here, the 18th over will be bowled by Vipraj Nigam!

KKR 175/5 (17)

DC vs KKR LIVE: OUT!

OUT! Dushmantha Chameera takes pace off, Angkrish Raghuvanshi goes for the big slash but straight to Karun Nair in the deep. A well-played 44 off 32 made by the young batter. Enter Andre Russell then, the birthday boy!

KKR 174/5 (16.5)

DC vs KKR LIVE: 4 overs to go

168 runs on board, power-hitters to come, Rinku and Raghuvanshi well-set. KKR have built the foundation to set a total of well over 200. Starc will bowl one over, Mukesh probably two, but Chameera will get a second over first. He was hit for 25 in his only over so far.

KKR 168/4 (16)
