KKR vs DC Highlights Dream11 IPL 2020: Kolkata Knight Riders (194/6) Beat Delhi Capitals (135/9) By 59 Runs

This was the game KKR needed. The win they needed and they got there in a terrific fashion by outplaying Delhi Capitals. First Sunil Narine (64) and Nitish Rana (81) set the tone with a 115-run partnership for the fourth wicket after coming together with KKR reeling at 42/3 at one stage. Eoin Morgan then gave them a late flourish and helped KKR post 194 before Pat Cummins rattled Delhi Capitals with a first-ball wicket. Cummins also bowled the in-form Shikhar Dhawan. And then Varun Chakravarthy just ran through the middle-order and completed a five-wicket haul to complete the win.

OUT! Now Lockie Ferguson picks a wicket. This was a short-pitched delivery from Ferguson and Tushar Deshpande smashes it to Eoin Morgan at mid-wicket. Tushar Deshpande c Morgan b Ferguson 1(3)

OUT! Pat Cummins returns for his final over and picks his third wicket. Kagiso Rabada is the man to depart after pulling straight to Rahul Tripathi at deep mid-wicket. Rabada c Tripathi b Cummins 9(10)

OUT! Varun Chakravarthy picks a fifer. A five-wicket haul for the mystery spinner. Axar Patel looks to go big and sees his off-stump fall. Axar b Chakravarthy 9(7)

OUT! Varun Chakravarthy is on a roll here. Picks his fourth wicket and dismisses Marcus Stoinis. Like the two before him, Stoinis looks to go big but only manages to top-edge it to Rahul Tripathi at long-off. Stoinis c Tripathi b Chakravarthy 6(6)

OUT! What a brilliant spell its turning out be from Varun Chakravarthy! After dismissing Rishabh Pant, he sends Shreyas Iyer and Shimron Hetmyer is successive deliveris to push DC out of the contest. KKR's victory looks inevitable as Delhi are five down now. 

OUT! Varun Chakravarthy strikes with  the second ball of his spell as Rishabh Pant departs while trying to up the ante. The southpaw failed to connect a slog sweep and gave an easy catch to Shubman Gill at long leg. DC are in all sorts of trouble now. Pant c Shubman Gill b Chakravarthy 27(33)

Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant played cautiously after losing the openers early. The duo, however, need to step on the gas with the required run rate going over 13. Also, batting under floodlights daylight simultaneously will be a challenging job.

A couple of no-balls from Prasidh Krishna cost KKR 12 runs from the fifth over. But KKR have otherwise bowled well in the powerplay and finished it on 36-2. Nagarkoti bowls the final over the powerplay and concedes only three runs of it. Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant are at the crease for Delhi Capitals and have a big task at hand.

OUT! Pat Cummins Gets the big wickets of Shikhar Dhawan. Delhi are in trouble here. They have lost their centurion from the previous two games to a jaffa from Cummins. Length delivery from Cummins and the ball just shaped away and crushed the off-stump. Dhawan goes back for just run-a-ball six. Dhawan b Cummins 6(6) 

OUT! Pat Cummins strikes with his first delivery and traps Ajinkya Rahane plumb in-front of the wicket. Cummins has given KKR a dream start here. This was a full delivery and shaped back into Rahane but he missed the movement and was trapped right in front of the wicket. Rahane lbw b Cummins 0(1)

OUT! Nitish Rana departs after a wonderful innings. Marcus Stoinis gets the breakthrough for Delhi but Rana had done his job. This was a short-ball and Rana looked to pull it but could only top-edge the ball to Tushar Deshpande at mid-on. Rana goes for a fine 81 off just 53 deliveries. Captain Morgan also follows him after getting out in the final delivery of the innings. Stoinis ends with wickets in his final two deliveries. 

OUT! Delhi Capitals finally get the breakthrough and its Kagiso Rabada who gets it for them. Rabada kept on bowling short this over. And after Rana struggled, Narine looked to go big and holed it out to deep square where Ajinkya Rahane takes an easy catch. Narine c Rahane b Rabada 64(32)

KKR have fought back in the match with a magnificent partnership between Nitish Rana and Sunil Rana. The left-handed pair have stitched an 85-run stand between them in just  6.5 overs. Both have already completed their half-centuries and have put KKR back into the contest with a fiery partnership. 

OUT! KKR are in deep trouble here. Dinesh Karthik is now dismissed and Kagiso Rabada has struck in his second over. This was a full-length delivery from Rabada and Karthik, who was looking to nudge it towards the leg side, plays across the line too early and nicks it behind to Rishabh Pant. Karthik c Pant b Rabada 3(6)

OUT! Anrich Nortje strikes again and Rahul Tripathi has to depart. This was a full delivery and moved slightly away from Tripathi and shattered his stumps. Tripathi b Nortje 13(12)

OUT! Anrich Nortje strikes in his first over. Shubman Gill, who was looking good departs early and once again KKR fails to record a fifty-run opening partnership.
