KKR vs DC Highlights:
The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) maintained their unbeaten record in the 2024 IPL season with a dominant 106-run victory over the Delhi Capitals (DC) on Wednesday.
Electing to bat first at Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, KKR got off to a flying start thanks to a blistering knock from Sunil Narine (85). The southpaw shared a 60-run opening stand with Phil Salt (18) before debutant Angkrish Raghuvanshi (54) impressed with a half-century of his own. Andre Russell (41) and Rinku Singh (26) provided late impetus as KKR posted a formidable total of 272/7. Anrich Nortje was the pick of the DC bowlers, claiming 3 wickets.
DC's chase faltered early as they slumped to 33/4, losing Prithvi Shaw (10), David Warner (18), Mitchell Marsh, and Abhishek Porel. Captain Rishabh Pant (55) and Tristan Stubbs (55) staged a valiant fightback with a 93-run partnership for the fifth wicket, but both fell shortly after reaching their fifties. The KKR bowlers kept chipping away, with Vaibhav Arora and Varun Chakravarthy taking 3 wickets apiece. Mitchell Starc added two scalps, while Narine and Russell chipped in with a wicket each to dismiss DC for 166 in 17.2 overs.
