DC scored 153/9 today, not many big hits.
DC won the toss and opted to bat first at Eden Gardens. Unfortunately, their decision didn't work out as they were bundled out for just 153 runs! The top order failed, but Kuldeep's contributions helped Delhi put up a fight with the ball. It was impressive to see Kolkata Knight Riders' bowlers perform well, restricting Delhi Capitals to a low score. Now, Kolkata needs 154 runs to win. KKR seems to have the upper hand.
A target of 153 runs is not a big target for a team like Kolkata. Kolkata batsmen are in very good form. In almost every match the team is able to play well and score high. I thought today we might not see good bowling from the Kolkata bowlers. But Kolkata bowlers bowled well today. Delhi's innings stopped at just 152 runs.
Varun Chakrawarthy and Sunil Narine bowled very well today. Narine took only 1 wicket. But he gave only 24 runs in 4 overs. On the other hand, Varun conceded 16 runs in 4 overs, and picked up three important wickets.
At the end of 2 overs, Kolkata collected 27 runs. However, Kolkata collected 23 runs in the first over. Delhi bowlers will lose today's match very badly if they don't pick up quick wickets. In the first match too, the Delhi team was defeated by a margin of 100+ runs against Kolkata.
