4 WICKETS IPL 2022, DC vs KKR: Powell Finishes Off in Style as Delhi Capitals Beat Kolkata Knight Riders by 4 Wickets

Rishabh Pant-led Delhi Capitals on Thursday defeated Kolkata Knight Riders by 4 wickets in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 match no. 41 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. After Kuldeep Yadav’s magical bowling spell, Rovman Powell and David Warner played remarkable knocks to take the team home with six balls to spare. The victory helped DC taking the sixth spot on the points table.

Batting never looked easy on Thursday night as both teams suffered initial jolts in their respective innings. While chasing 147, Delhi Capitals suffered a blow off the very first ball as Umesh Yadav pulled off a stunning caught and bold to dismiss Prithvi Shaw for a golden duck.

Before the team could recover from the loss and get back on track, Harshit Rana got the better of Mitchell Marsh who had returned to action after recovering from Covid-19.

As Delhi needed a brisk partnership at the moment, David Warner teamed up with Lalit Yadav to keep the momentum going. The situation seemed under control as the duo stitched a 65-run stand for the third wicket. But Umesh returned to bowl his second spell and broke the camaraderie. He restricted Warner from getting a half-century and removed him in the 10th over for a 26-ball 42.

The departure of Warner sparked the collapse of the DC middle-order; Narine trapped Lalit (22) in the next over while Umesh completed his spell after dismissing Rishabh Pant (2) to register figures of 3 for 24 in 4 overs.
