Delhi Capitals (DC) batsmen stamped their authority over Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) bowlers' as they registered a comfortable seven-wicket victory in Match 25 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) in Ahmedabad. The run-chase started with a bang as DC opener Prithvi Shaw (82 runs off 41 balls) scored six fours against Shivam Mavi in the first over to make his intentions clear from the start. Shikhar Dhawan (46 runs off 47 balls) kept a calm head at the other end as he played the supporting role to perfection. Earlier, KKR batsmen struggled to keep going as they set a modest 155-run target for DC to chase. Andre Russell (45* off 27 balls) finished the innings with some huge sixes to help KKR pass the 150-run mark on the last ball of the innings. This was KKR's fifth loss in seven games while DC registered their fifth victory this season to occupy the second place in the points table for the time being. (SCORECARD)
