KKR vs DC Highlights, IPL 2024: Kolkata Knight Riders Beat Delhi Capitals to consolidate their place at the top half of the IPL 2024 points table.
Venkatesh Iyer Wins IT For KKR With A SIX. KKR beat DC by 7 wickets and 21 balls remaining.
KKR NEED 3 To Win. Lots of balls remaining. 7 wickets in hand.
The two Iyers out in the middle for KKR- Shreyas Iyer and Venkatesh Iyer. But no real pressure of required run rate, they can afford to bite their time and get KKR over the line without taking a risk. Kuldeep and Axar bowling in tandem for DC at the moment.
3 quick wickets for DC but the game has seemingly gone away from their reach. Axar Patel gets rid of Phil Salt for 68 off 33 after dismissing Sunil Narine who fell for 15 off 10. Rinku Singh, who had walked in at number 3 for KKR, was the other batter who has returned to the pavilion after scoring 11 off 11. KKR- 100/3 after 9.2 overs.
79 off the powerplay then. 28 off Khaleel's 3 overs. 18 runs off the 6th over with Salt finding three boundaries and a SIX in that over. KKR- 79/0 after 6 overs. They need 75 runs in 84 balls. Phil Salt- 60* off 28, Sunil Narine- 15* off 9.
26-Ball fifty From Pristine. What a knock this as he has taken the game away from DC in the powerplay itself with his attacking approach. Gets there with a six off Khaleel Ahmed's third over.
Rasikh Salam Comes In One Change for KKR.
Khaleel again. Salt finds the boundary in the over. Khaleel's second over has gone for 6 runs. KKR-46/0 after 4 overs. Khaleel 2 overs, none for 10 so far.
Salt Continues His Merry Way. Two successive sixes this time against Williams' second over. 13 runs off the over. KKR- 40/0 after 3 overs.
Khaleel Ahmed from the other end for DC.
23 runs coming off the 1st over. 15* off 5 for Salt while a last-ball boundary off Narine's blade. KKR- 23/0 after the 1st over. 21 runs against the bowler's name.
KKR's run-chase has begun with Sunil Narine and Phil Salt started opening the batting for them. Lizaad Williams with the new ball in hand for DC.
And a four to end the over. Off the bat of Kuldeep again who finishes with 34 off 26 and takes DC to 153/9. KKR need 154 to win.
And Russell concedes a four first balll, followed by a couple of dots. Surely 150 on now for DC. Kuldeep Yadav making an impact with the bat.
Andre Russell's first over for the last over of the innings.
19 Overs bowled. DC- 143/9. Can they find a way to get to 150?
Lizaad Williams last man in for DC.
Rana gets a second wicket too. It's a slower ball that deceives Rasikh Salam who falls for 8 off 10. DC- 140/9 after 18.2 Overs.
Arora bowls out. Only 2 runs off the 18h over. DC- 139/8 after 18 overs.
Rana bowls the 17th over and 8 runs come off it. A final-ball four off the blade of Rasikh Salam.
For DC, it is Rasikh Salam who is batting along with Kuldeep.
Forgettable tournament really for KKR as Starc's forgettable run in IPL 2024 continues. Even when the opposition is down and out, he has gone for 16 runs. A six and a four and it's Kuldeep Yadav who is fancying batting against the Aussie left-armer. 5 wides would do no damage to DC's cause.
Another wicket falls. It's Varun Chakravarthy who gets his third wicket of the evening. Even the impact sub Kumar Kushagra gets out without making much of an impact. Inside edge to the keeper and Kushagra goes back for 1. DC- 111/8 after 14.3 Overs.
4 overs, 1 for 24 for Narine this evening.
This innings going nowhere for DC as now Narine joins the party. Another player with recognised batting talent heads to the dressing room in the form of Axar Patel. This one is inside edged on to his stumps from Patel. Delhi-101/7 after 13.3 Overs.
DC have been forced to announce their impact sub Kumar Kushagra comes in place of Shaw.
No one has really got going on this surface and the trend continues as even Tristan Stubbs fails to make an impact this evening. Late turn off the surface for Chakravarthy and Stubbs hs nicked that through to the keeper Phil Salt. Stubbs falls for 4 off 7. Second strike for Chakravarthy. DC- 99/6 after 12.1 Overs.
It's Rishabh Pant who has to walk back. The left-hander only manages to slice it high up in the air instead of managing to clear the fence. It's taken by Shreyas Iyer in the cover region. DC- 93/5 after 10.1 Overs. Pant departs for 27 off 20.
Halfway through the innings. DC- 93/4 after get 13 runs off the 10th over which was bowled by Arora. Two boundaries off the bat of Axar Patel, one coming off the bat of Pant.
A boundary-less over from Varun. DC still manage 7 runs off it. They are 80/4 after 9 overs.
Time For Varun Chakravarthy in the attack. Two left-handers Pant and Axar in the middle for DC.
Axar Patel new batter for DC. He joins Pant. DC- 73/4 after 8 overs. The team fetches 5 runs off the 8th over.
Rana takes a wicket. It's Porel who has to walk back for 18 off 15. Misses a scoop off a fuller length and sees his stumps getting rattled, does Porel. DC- 68/4 after 6.4 Overs.
That's the end of the fielding restrictions. Sunil Narine's over to conclude the over for KKR. But even he is smashed for a six and it's Rishabh Pant who has smashed that maximum. 9 off the over. DC- 67/3 after 6 overs.
They haven't let wickets mess up with the way they will approach this innings. Harshit Rana, who replaced, Starc, conceded 16 runs off his 1st over with FOUR, SIX, SIX coming off successive deliveries off the bat of Porel. DC- 58/3 after 5 overs.
Rishabh Pant, new batter, joins Porel in the middle.
This game is quickly going away from DC as they lose their third wicket inside the powerplay. Arora gets a second wicket with a peach of a delivery. It comes in before holding its line to rattle the stumps of Shai Hope who falls for 6 off 3 after getting off the mark with a maximum on the previous ball itself. DC- 37/3 after 3.3 Overs.
And Fraser-McGurk falls. Starc might have concedes a SIX and a FOUR Off his previous two balls but he gets the big fish who tries to continue to play his shots but miscues one and Venkatesh Iyer takes a good catch at square leg. DC- 30/2 after 2.5 overs. Fraser-McGurk out for 12 off 7.
Starc for a second over. 15 had come off his first. Abishek Porel in at 3 for DC.
Not for the first time Shaw has gotten a start and then got out. It looked good while it lasted but Shaw walks back for 13 off 7 after edging one on his pads to the keeper. On-field decision not out but KKR review and the decision has to be overturned. Vaibhav Arora gets a wicket off his first over. DC- 17/1 after 1.3 Overs.
Only the 1st over has been bowled so far but it seems like this could be another high-scoring fixture. Three fours off the bat of Shaw against Starc and DC get 15 off the 1st over. DC- 15/0 after the 1st over. Starc's not so good IPL continues.
Out come the DC openers- Prithvi Shaw and Jake Fraser-McGurk. Mitchell Starc has the ball in hand for KKR.

Hello and Welcome to our live coverage of the IPL 2024 match between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Delhi Capitals (DC). The match is set to be played at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
Background
KKR vs DC Live Score, IPL 2024: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) vs Delhi Capitals (DC) is the next stop of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Welcome everybody to our coverage of the match number 47 of the Indian Premier League (IPL). While KKR are at the second place on the IPL 2024 points, DC find themselves at the sixth place. However the points tally does not do justice to what is actually happening in the tournament. DC are in the middle of an ascendancy as they have stitched a few wins together and are pretty much in race to reach the playoffs.
IPL 2024 KKR vs DC Live Score, Kolkata Knight Riders vs Delhi Capitals: In sharp contrast to DC's winning momentum, KKR batted first and posted a massive 261/6 in their 20 overs in their last fixture in Kolkata. However, even then they could not defend the total, thanks to Jonny Bairstow's sensational hundred and Shashank Singh's 28-ball 68*. PBKS finished off what turned out to be the highest successful IPL run chase in 18.4 overs.
It is in this context then that the KKR vs DC match becomes an interesting one. As of now there are five teams that are tied at 10 points on the table. However, it is KKR who have played the fewest matches among them, having played only 8 matches so far with 5 wins and 3 defeats. Can KKR get back to winning ways in this game or will it be DC who will continue their rise up the points table?
