IPL Highlights, DD vs KKR: Manish Pandey Stars In Kolkata's Thrilling 4-Wicket Win Over Delhi
IPL Highlights, DD vs KKR: Kolkata Knight Riders with a 4-wicket win over Delhi Daredevils registered their third consecutive victory.
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) won a thriller vs Delhi Daredevils (DD) by 4 wickets off the second-last ball of the innings in the 18th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL). After DD claimed quick wickets early in the innings, Yusuf Pathan and Manish Pandey took charge and built a 100-run partnership which provided the visitors with a win in the close contest. Despite Pathan and Pandey's heroics, the DD bowlers pegged KKR back in the last overs of the match and halted the flow of runs. Pathan and Pandey scored 59 and 69 respectively and as far as Delhi's bowling is concerned Zaheer Khan and Pat Cummins picket up two wickets each. The match took a turn when Sanju Samson pulled off a blinder by saving a certain six from Pandey. Delhi were looking for the kill as Amit Mishra dismissed Chris Woakes in the second ball of the last over. As Sunil Narine came out to bat, he took a single and handed the strike to Pandey who then hit a big six and took a double the next ball to win the match and register KKR's third consecutive win. (Scorecard)

15:23 IST: Hello and welcome to the live blog of the match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Daredevils straight from Feroz Shah Kotla.
KKR's batting has really come good, with Gambhir now holding on to the orange cap with a total of 182 runs from three innings, at an average of 91 and a strike rate of 144.44. But the next KKR batsman among the top 10 run-getters is Chris Lynn, who is now out of action. On the bowling side, Chris Woakes and Kuldeep Yadav lead the KKR pack with four wickets apiece. DD, on the other hand, Pat Cummins, Zaheer and Shahbaz Nadeem sharing the bowling honours. It is the DD batting that has a little bit of a question mark. Sanju Samson is their top run-getter, with 134 runs from three innings, with one century, while the next batsman is Sam Billings, who is slotted at No. 16 on the run chart. So if there is a weakness, it's the DD batting. That is something KKR may well work at.
