41st Match (N), Wankhede, April 28, 2022, Indian Premier League
(19/20 ov, T:147) 150/6
DC won by 4 wickets (with 6 balls remaining)
Rovman Powell settles any nerves there might have been 33 off 16, hitting three massive sixes. That gives DC two points, and KKR their fifth straight defeat. We leave you with a teaser from the final report. Do join us tomorrow.
"Part of Kolkata Knight Riders, Kuldeep Yadav didn’t get a single game last IPL. The reason perhaps is that in the two preceding IPLs, he picked just five wickets in 45 overs. In seven overs this year against the franchise that let him go, Kuldeep has taken eight wickets, consigning them to their second defeat against Delhi Capitals. However, it could still be argued that he is still looking for a captain who makes optimum use of him: he bowled just the three overs despite taking four wickets because two left-hand batters were at the wicket.
The part-time offspinner used instead gave Nitish Rana the launching pad for a 30-ball fifty that took KKR to 146 but it proved inadequate against a power-filled DC batting line-up. David Warner led the response with a 26-ball 42 but they kept losing wickets as they looked to dominate the chase. Rovman Powell and Axar Patel, though, saw them home in the end with one over to spare."
