KKR vs DC IPL 2024 Highlights: Kolkata Knight Riders thrash Delhi Capitals by 7 wickets

And it's over. KKR have chased down another total and have thrashed DC here by 7 wickets. A way too easy chase of 154 as they win with 21 balls to go

Only 13 runs are needed off the final 30 balls and it is all too easy for the hosts. Shreyas and Venkatesh are at the crease and this should get over soon.

Axar Patel gets another one and cleans up Phil Salt now. He goes back for a well made 68 off 33 balls. Both the openers back. Shreyas comes in

Axar finally brings some cheer to the DC camp. He removes Narine but the damage has been done by Salt. Rinku comes in at 3 today.

Kolkata have landed a body blow to Delhi. 79 runs have come in the powerplay and it looks the game is pretty much over in the powerplay only. KKR need 75 more

KKR are off to a strong start in the run chase. They have made 46 in the first four overs only and there is no spinner still for the Capitals

The KKR openers - Salt and Narine are out in the middle and they will be looking for a fine start. Lizaad Williams has the new ball in the hand

DC have worked extremely hard and found themselves on 153/9. Kuldeep was the top-scorer for DC batting at number 9. He made a crucial 35 for the visitors as they have somehow managed to cross 150 despite being in danger of getting bowled out for 120. This should be an easy chase but Vaibhav Arora has said the pitch seemed a bit slow.

Harshit Rana gets his second of the day and Rasikh departs too. DC are 9 down. A small little partnership was developing but Harshit gets the wicket off a slower ball. The batter was early on his shot and mistimed it to mid-off

DC are falling like a pack of card here. Sixth wicket down before 100. Kumar Kushagra is the impact sub un place of Shaw. Make it seven please. Sunil Narine gets Axar Patel after DC got over 100. DC are staring down at a pretty low score now

And this time Pant has been caught out. Harshit dropped him a little earlier but skipper Iyer does not make a mistake this time. Pant miscued his slog and it high went up in the air towards covers, where Iyer completes an easy one.

After Vaibhav and Starc, Harshit gets into the wickets column now. He castles Abhishek Porel, who was looking fine for his 15-ball 18. The batter shuffled to his left and looked to scoop Harshit but was beaten all ends up. The ball was on target of the stumps and it breaks the timber. Axar now comes in

Another one bites the dust. Vaibhav cleans up Shai Hope in second over. KKR are pushing DC on the backfoot now. Three wickets down for 42 in 4 overs.

And here's the wicket KKR would be wanting so badly. Starc gets the dangerous Fraser-McGurk for 12. Starc came from around the wicket for this ball and even though it was in his hitting arc, Fraser-McGurk could not time it. It went straight to deep-square leg.

Vaibhav Arora has got the first wicket and has removed opener Prithvi Shaw in the second over. Shaw looked to glance this leg-stump delivery but got only a faint edge to the keeper. The umpire did not give him out but KKR reviewed and it turned out to be out!

The action is live at the Eden Gardens now. Prithvi Shaw and Jake Fraser at the crease. Mitchell Starc has the new ball in hand. Here we go!

DC have won the toss and opted to bat first

59 meters square boundary on one side, 71 meters on the other. Pitch is rock hard. Ball will come on beautifully. There will be runs tonight, bowlers have got their work cut out. This is the wicket that was played on against RR. Batters are going to enjoy out here again tonight.

Kuldeep Yadav has a favourable match-up against Sunil Narine having dismissed him twice in three balls. Should DC unleash the wrist spinner in the powerplay?

KKR are placed second with 10 points in 8 games. DC have played 10 games and have 10 points too. A win for DC would take them on the second place.

KKR and DC faced earlier this season in Visakhapatnam and the Riders posted a record 272 on the board thanks to Narine's 85 off 39. Delhi Capitals, in response, could only reach 166 runs losing the match by 106 runs.

David Warner and Ishant Sharma won't be available for this game. After their win over MI two days ago, assistant coach Pravin Amre said that they would need another week to recover. For the unversed, Warner has a finger injury, while Ishant is on the sidelines due to back spasms.

It will be Kolkata Knight Riders vs Delhi Capitals - two power-hitting sides facing each other in 47 of the Indian Premier League at Eden Gardens. The likes of Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Phil Salt and Rinku Singh will be up against Delhi's Jake Fraser-McGurk, Rishabh Pant, Axar Patel and Prithvi Shaw. And the venue is supportive for the batters - Eden Gardens. Expect runs to be put on board as we head into this clash. Stay tuned for all the updates.
