Kolkata Knight Riders vs Delhi Capitals, Match 42 Match Summary

Varun Chakravarthy is named the Man of the Match. So that is it from this game! It is not end of the cricketing action for today as there is another game which follows. Punjab are taking on Hyderabad in an important clash. Do join us for that by switching tabs. Till then, take care and goodbye!

The bowling was spot on from the Kolkata side! Also, the changes as to when to get which bowler was excellent from Morgan. Cummins started things off and he finished with a three-fer. Varun then ran through the middle order of the Delhi side and finished with cracking figures of 5 for 20. The others were also handy. Except for Narine, everybody did well with the ball.

A very comprehensive win for Kolkata! How vital could this performance be! It was a game they needed to win and they have done it in some style. First they put up a massive total courtesy Narine and Rana after reeling at 42 for 3. They then continued the momentum with the ball as Cummins got the Delhi openers early. Iyer and Pant then looked to re-build but the pace they were batting at was not helping their cause. Finally when they needed to explode, Pant, Hetmyer and Iyer all fell in quick succession. It was then an impossible task for the Delhi side and they fell well short.
