Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Capitals played out a thrilling super over contest the last time they met with Delhi winning the game thanks to Kagiso Rabada’s brilliance. But the contest should really have not been allowed to drag on by the hosts who have on several occasion displayed an alarming lack of composure. It is this deficiency that sees them sixth in the points table with three wins and losses. Kolkata, on the other hand, are playing some quality cricket and are second in the league with 8 points. The two franchises have clashed 24 times with KKR registering 13 wins, Delhi with 10 wins and 1 game produced no result. A look back at how these teams fared in their last five games. Kolkata Knight Riders vs Delhi Capitals Live Cricket Score.

Delhi were cruising in their chase of 186 with Prithvi Shaw and Rishabh Pant on the crease but Pant missed three deliveries in the closing stages and eventually got himself out putting enormous pressure on Shaw.

Nathan Coulter-Nile picked up three wickets to restrict Delhi to 160/6 on a good batting track. Sanju Samson started well for the visitors with 60 and stuck a nice little partnership with Shreyas Iyer who managed 47 but then it was all downhill. Kolkata’s response was led by skipper Gautam Gambhir who remained not out on 71 and Robin Uthappa’s 59 helping it win an easy game.

DD vs KKR – April 17 2017 – Feroz Shah Kotla, Delhi – KKR won by 4 wickets

A similar kind of game like the previous with Delhi failing to put on a good score despite some good starts by the top order. The top five batsmen all played good shots upfront before perishing to some quality bowling. Chasing 169 for victory, KKR were jolted early with three wickets but Manish Pandey and Yusuf Pathan hit the fifties to take their team home.

Delhi have to bank on their bowling line up to come good against Kolkata for a win just like how Chennai did the trick against Dinesh Karthik’s men.
