After winning the toss, DC opted to bat first and struggled against KKR bowling big time right from the get go. Rishabh Pant’s 27 and Kuldeep Yadav’s 35-run knock helped DC get to 153-9 in their allotted 20 overs. In reply, KKR’s opener Phil Salt launched an early onslaught on the DC bowlers and scored a blazing 68-run knock off just 33 balls which washed away all the hopes of DC to remain in the contest.
