In a thrilling encounter between Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2023, DC emerged victorious by four wickets. Despite a slow start, DC skipper David Warner found his perfect hitting arc and smashed 57 off 41 balls, leading his team to the target with four balls to spare. The KKR batting line-up struggled to deal with the DC bowling attack and managed only 127 runs on a spicy pitch that aided both pacers and spinners
Despite a wobbly batting performance from DC, save Warner, a below-par score from KKR allowed the home team to clinch victory as the ball started gripping in the second half of the chase. Axar Patel, who was struggling with a groin strain, remained unbeaten at 19 off 22 balls and took DC past the finishing line. Ishant Sharma, who rolled back the years, was impressive with his bowling, but the rest of the DC bowling line-up also collectively came to the party. This win keeps DC afloat in this edition of the IPL after suffering five defeats in a row.
