Inn Break
Right then, that wraps up this encounter where Kolkata emerge victorious against Delhi, making sure they stay at that second position on the points table. Our attention now shifts to the upcoming clash, where Lucknow will play host to Mumbai at the illustrious Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium. The action will take place on Tuesday, 30th of April and will commence at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT), but the excitement begins long before that with extensive pre-match coverage. So, be sure to tune in early for all the anticipation and analysis. Until then, it's time to bid farewell with cheers!
Varun Chakaravarthy is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his brilliance with the ball. He says that the ball was holding a bit and it helped him to do well. States that the ball when Rishabh Pant's catch was dropped was better than the one he got wicket on. When asked about which of the three wickets was his favourite, he replies that he liked the wicket of Tristan Stubbs the most. He says that he wants to stick to the basics. Shares that when the last game did not go well, Abhishek Nayar, Shahrukh Khan and the support staff spoke to him personally and motivated him. On his funny tweet asking the batters to give cheerleaders a break, he jokingly says that the cheerleaders should dance only for the sixes and not for fours.
Shreyas Iyer, the skipper of Kolkata says that after the Powerplay the ball started to spin and the deck was playing differently and is glad they bowled first and got a fair idea of how to overcome the tackiness. Adds that Phil Salt is engrossed in the game and wants to learn a lot and every time turns up to put on such a show on top of the order. Jokes about Sunil Narine not attending any batter's meetings. States that the spinners were good and Varun Chakaravarthy came back and delivered here under pressure after tough games and is simply brilliant in the character shown. Concludes that they don't want to look at the points table and just want to take one game at a time and deliver their best.
Time for the presentation ceremony..
The man of the moment with the chase, Phil Salt is down for a quick chat. He says it is good to contribute and to see a comeback from that tough last game with the bowlers stepping up was admirable. Adds that going hard up top is a high risk but also puts the odds in their favour. States that keeping wickets can help him assess the conditions up close and helps him when he comes out to bat. He appreciates Sunil Narine and says he is a deep thinker of the game and with his experience, he brings a lot to the partnership. Further adds that if one of them gets going well the other one is happy to rotate the strike and it's part of the communication.
The skipper of Delhi, Rishabh Pant says that it was a good option to bat first but they did not play well as a batting unit. States that 153 was below par but they have a long break ahead and will learn from their mistakes. Shares that the batting unit has been doing well but it was not their day today. Feels that they fell short by 40-50 runs and a total between 180-210 would have been good. Ends by saying that the batters did not give enough for the bowlers to defend but it is part and parcel of the game.
Earlier in the game, Rishabh Pant's decision to bat first appeared to falter, as Delhi found themselves in a precarious position, losing three wickets within the Powerplay. Despite this setback, skipper Rishabh Pant, alongside Axar Patel and Abishek Porel, showcased glimpses of promise with their innings, yet fell short of converting their starts into substantial contributions. Throughout the innings, Delhi continued to face the challenge of losing wickets at regular intervals, placing their total in jeopardy. However, amidst the chaos, it was Kuldeep Yadav who emerged as a beacon of stability, crafting a crucial unbeaten knock of 35 runs towards the end. His valiant effort propelled Delhi to a respectable total of 153 runs. Kolkata exhibited exceptional bowling, with Varun Chakaravarthy standing out as the pick of the bowlers, claiming three wickets. Meanwhile, Vaibhav Arora and Harshit Rana also made significant contributions, securing two wickets each to bolster Kolkata's formidable bowling display which was then rounded off with an even stronger batting performance to seal the game.
Delhi, on the other hand, faced an uphill battle defending a modest total and needed to adopt an all-out attack approach from the outset. Unfortunately, they didn't get the ideal start with the ball, as Lizaad Williams endured a torrid time in the very first over, getting carted around the park by Kolkata's aggressive openers and it got worse by dropping Salt when he was on 15. The bowlers struggled to contain the flow of runs during the Powerplay, putting Delhi on the back foot early in the game. By the time the spinners were brought into the attack after the powerplay, Kolkata had already established a commanding position. Despite managing to pick up a couple of wickets, the game had drifted far beyond Delhi's reach, and it was just a matter of time before Kolkata sealed the victory.
What a commanding performance from Kolkata! They strolled through the chase effortlessly, clinching victory with 7 wickets in hand and a whopping 21 balls to spare. This win marks a triumphant return for Kolkata after a challenging previous outing, reaffirming their dominance as they comfortably sit at the second position on the points table. With a modest target of 154 runs to chase down, Kolkata wasted no time in asserting their dominance as Phil Salt and Sunil Narine found boundaries with ease. Their explosive partnership at the top, amassing 79 runs in just 6 overs, catapulted Kolkata well ahead in the game. Although Narine's departure momentarily slowed the momentum, Rinku Singh's brief stint at number 3 couldn't replicate the initial fireworks. However, the skipper Shreyas Iyer, alongside Venkatesh Iyer, calmly guided Kolkata to victory, picking off the remaining runs with ease and authority.

They will look to knock off the remaining 24 runs as quickly as possible.

Starts from over the wicket and bowls it at the stumps, it is there in the arc for the batter to put away, Sunil Narine stays put and goes for a heave across the line. Does not get the desired connection and it goes flat and only as far as deep mid-wicket where Jake Fraser-McGurk reverse cups it over his head.
Strategic break! Kolkata has exploded out of the gates, racing to a phenomenal start as both Phil Salt and Sunil Narine showcase their impeccable form, propelling the side to a staggering 79 runs by the conclusion of a mere six overs. It's been a whirlwind performance from this opening pair, leaving Delhi struggling to find their footing in the match. With the match slipping away, Delhi's hopes now hinge on their spin maestros conjuring up something truly magical to turn the tide in their favour. With that, Axar Patel is introduced into the attack.

Khaleel Ahmed To Phil Salt
DROPPED! Oh dear, it just got from bad to worse for Lizaad Williams as he drops a simple catch! Khaleel Ahmed bowls this fuller and around off, Phil Salt looks for a big hoick and toe ends it up in the air and straight over mid on where Williams backtracks and settles under it and tries to take a reverse cup catch. The ball just spills off his hands, hits him on the chest and the batters scamper for two runs as the ball rolls behind him.
It will be the left-arm seamer, Khaleel Ahmed to operate from the other end.
