DC Win By 7 Wickets! Absolute dominance from Delhi Capitals as they win by seven wickets with as many as 21 balls to spare. A target of 155 was never going to be enough and DC openers further humiliated KKR bowlers with their stellar show. Prithvi Shaw was brilliant in particular, scoring 82 off 41 balls. With this win, Rishabh Pant's men go at second place in the team standings while KKR, with two wins in seven games, are at fifth place.
OUT! Prithvi Shaw is gone but not before scoring 82 off just 41 deliveries. Absolutely phenomenal effort from the young opener. Shaw cleared his leg for another big hit but got a top edge and Nitish Rana took a good catch at backward point. Second wicket for Pat Cummins. Prithvi Shaw c Nitish Rana b Cummins 82(41)
Wicket! Pat Cummins finally provides the breakthrough for KKR as he dismissed Shikhar Dhawan. The Indian opener was inching towards another half-century this season but was trapped in front of the stumps. Dhawan lbw b Cummins 46(47).
Prithvi Shaw has been sensational so far and is taking Delhi Capitals to an easy win over a tough opponent. Shikhar Dhawan has supported his partner well and now will be aiming to take his team over the line. KKR need quick wickets and need them in a bunch if they are to get back into the game.
Sensational half-century for Prithvi Shaw! He goes to the milestone off just 18 balls, the fastest for any batsman this season and second-fastest ever by a DC batsman. DC are cruising towards an easy win and KKR captain Eoin Morgan is looking utterly helpless. Is any drama still left in this contest.
It has been a one-man show so far with Prithvi Shaw smashing KKR bowlers all over the park. While he has been at his aggressive best, Shikhar Dhawan has taken a backseat and is enjoying the show. DC need 88 off mere 84 balls and sensible cricket should see them through. On the other hand, only wickets can bring KKR back in the contest.
Prithvi Shaw is in some mood today as Delhi Capitals have got off to a flier while chasing a decent total. The young opener smashed Shivam Mavi for six boundaries in the first over to set the tone. Shikhar Dhawan also joined the party with a boundary. As a result, DC advance to 43 in the first three overs. KKR desperately need a wicket soon.
The players are back in the middle as the action resumes. Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan are the two DC openers while Shivam Mavi starts proceedings with the ball.
Some late impetus from Andre Russell meant KKR finish at 154/6 in their allotted 20 overs. The Caribbean dasher was absolutely magnificent in the end overs and ended up scoring an unbeaten 45 off 27 deliveries. However, will this total be enough to restrict the potent DC batting line-up. Only time will tell. So, stay tuned for the second innings.

Speaking of KKR, their middle-order woes cost them many games this season. However, they registered a comfortable six-wicket win in their last outing against Punjab Kings and would have gained a lot of confidence. Other than that, their top order and bowlers have done quite a decent job. However, they will play in Ahmedabad for the first time this season, and it would be interesting to see how they adapt to the new conditions.
