4.3 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! No mistake this time, from Tejasvi Singh and Abishek Porel has to walk back. Lovely piece of bowling from Saurabh Dubey, as he serves it a touch fuller and just outside off, making the ball shape away as well. Porel is drawn into the drive but ends up nicking it behind. Tejasvi lunges forward and pouches it nicely with both hands. The 40-run opening stand comes to an end. 40/1

12.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Roy gets the last laugh as he picks up the wicket of KL Rahul. Flighted, wide of off, KL Rahul goes down on a knee and looks to clear the long on fence. Rahul fails to get right underneath the ball and doesn't get enough power to clear the fence. Rahul hits this towards the right of Rovman Powell at long on. Rovman moves to his right and holds onto a regulation catch. KL Rahul departs after a fine knock. 125/3

9.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Off-break from the spin maestro, and this one grips a bit as well. Short of a length, around off, Sahil Parakh looks to hit this over the fielder at covers but he checks his lofted stroke and ends up chipping this straight into the hands of Ajinkya Rahane at covers. Rahane makes no mistake and takes a dolly to send Sahil back. 87/2

| Axar Patel C | 39 | 25 | 3 | 2 | 156 |

16.5 OUT! CAUGHT! A pretty similar dismissal to that of KL Rahul, and Varun Chakaravarthy does get instant revenge on Axar Patel. Varun floats it a bit full and wide outside off, this time Patel looks to fetch and drag it leg side. He gets it off the toe end of the bat and straight to Rinku Singh at long on, who makes no mistake. DC are 166/4 now. 166/4

19.4 OUT! CAUGHT! A reprieve for Saurabh Dubey and KKR as David Miller fails to put away a bad ball. Another juicy full toss, just outside off. Miller looks to power it over mid off, but the bat tilts in his hand and he ends up snatching at it. Miller hits it flat to a straightish mid on, where Finn Allen gobbles it up around his face. 201/5

13.2 OUT! TAKEN! Ajinkya Rahane holes out in the deep. A big wicket for Delhi Capitals. Kuldeep Yadav follows Ajinkya Rahane down the leg side. Rahane moves to his left and looks to loft it. He doesn't quite get the meat of the bat on it and the ball carries towards long on. David Miller settles under it and takes a fine catch with a reverse cup.

4.2 OUT! BOWLED'EM! You miss, I hit, says Ngidi. He splits the opening pair as the dangerous Allen falls. Bowls it in the channel of off, on a good length. It lands, skids and cuts back in slightly to hurry Allen into the shot. Finn stands tall and tries to heave it over mid on, but plays all over it and gets an inside edge. The ball makes an absolute mess of the stumps behind. Kolkata Knight Riders are 43/1, needing 161 runs. 43/1

8.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Mitchell Starc helps his fellow pacer out and takes a stunning catch. Lungi Ngidi serves this one just back of a length and lands it on off and middle. Manish Pandey leans back and tries to power it over long on, but doesn't get the connection. Starc charges to his right from long on and does well to dive and snaffle the dipping ball with two hands. There's an umpire's review to check the legality of the catch and after a couple of replays, it is deemed a clean catch with Starc's fingers cleanly under the ball. Ngidi picks up another wicket. 87/2

Cameron Green gets forward and looks to tonk it down the ground, but ends up slicing it. The ball sails down to long off where David Miller takes a well-judged catch and KKR are now 96/3. 96/3

| Rovman Powell | 29 | 21 | 3 | 1 | 138.09 |

17.1 OUT! POWELL IS RUN OUT! That should be the game for the Capitals. A sensational piece of fielding by Rizvi. Starc misses the yorker by a yard or so, on off. Anukul Roy carves it over the bowler and they run the first one but there is a slight hesitation for the second run before they eventually get the skates on for it. Sameer Rizvi runs across to his left from long off and fires in a direct hit at the non-striker's end where Powell is caught short by a fair bit. KKR are 154/7, needing 50 runs from 17 balls. 154/7

Fired in from Kuldeep Yadav, on off, Rinku Singh makes room and looks to loft it, but mistimes his stroke completely. The ball carries towards wide long off. Tristan Stubbs runs to his right, dives, and takes the catch just inches above the ground. Kuldeep Yadav is on a hat-trick now. 128/5

14.1 OUT! CHOPPED ON! Another one bites the dust, and this chase is falling apart for the Kolkata Knight Riders. An arm ball, on off, and it keeps a tad low while drifting in. Tejasvi Singh makes room and tries to play the pull shot by using the depth of the crease, but gets an inside edge. The ball rattles the middle pole and Kolkata Knight Riders are in huge trouble now. They are 129/6 after 14.1 overs. 129/6

Anukul Roy backs away to leg and looks to muscle it down the ground, but gets a splice off the top of the bat. The ball is sliced and balloons straight up and Starc, in his follow-through, calls for it, runs a bit to his left and settles under it and takes it cleanly. 154/8

17.4 OUT! TAKEN EASILY! This has been a monumental collapse from the Knight Riders. Full on off stump, angling into the batter. Kartik backs away to leg and goes for the lofted slash over mid off, but mistimes it completely. Chips a simple catch to Axar Patel, who settles under it and takes the catch. KKR are 156/9. DC need just 1 wicket to win. 155/9

18.4 OUT! MISTIMED AND CAUGHT! DC comprehensively beat KKR by 40 runs. At just 112.7 kph. Ngidi floats another slow, dipping off-cutter full outside off. Chakaravarthy goes after it again, doesn't pick the variation and swings hard. Gets the connection off the toe end and slices it uppishly towards cover, where Axar takes a few steps by turning back and pouches a simple catch to end KKR's misery. From 96/2, the Knight Riders have been bowled out on 163. Ngidi finishes off with a spectacular three-for. 163/10
