DC vs KKR T20 Match 16, Indian Premier League, 2024 - Highlights

Mitchell Starc to Prithvi Shaw, FOUR! Up and away! Banged in well short and outside the off stump, Prithvi Shaw goes after it with no intention of keeping it down and gets it fine of third man for the first boundary of the chase.

Mitchell Starc to Prithvi Shaw, FOUR! Back-to-back boundaries to end the over! Fractionally short but well outside off stump, Prithvi Shaw moves across to the off side and hits it over the point region for four more runs. 11 off the first over, ideal start for Delhi.

Vaibhav Arora to David Warner, FOUR! Poor delivery to start with and David Warner helps himself to an easy boundary. Way too short and angled down the leg side, Warner just helps it fine of short fine and collects four runs.

Vaibhav Arora to David Warner, FOUR! That one surprised David Warner but he gets away with it. Short of a length and at the hips, Warner flicks the ball off the top edge and the ball goes high and over Sunil Narine at short fine leg for another boundary.

Vaibhav Arora to Prithvi Shaw, OUT! CAUGHT! Excellent from Varun Chakaravarthy and the lack of foot movement has cost Prithvi Shaw big time here. Slightly fuller in length and on the stumps, swinging back in, Shaw stays put and just looks to bludgeon it over mid on but miscues it badly in front of mid on. Varun Chakaravarthy there puts in a big dive forward and pouches it millimeters off the turf. The catch is checked and the third umpire deems that the fingers were underneath the ball and the Impact Player, Vaibhav Arora does get the early wicket for his side.

Mitchell Starc to Mitchell Marsh, OUT! CAUGHT! Straight to the man and Mitchell Marsh cannot believe it! Full and wide outside off, there to be hit and Marsh nails the drive uppishly as well. Marsh though hits it just to the right of point where Ramandeep Singh sticks out both hands and grabs it out of thin air. That was hit hard but Marsh's slim run with the bat continues and Mitchell Starc, who was under the scanner of being expensive, picks up his first wicket of the campaign.

Vaibhav Arora to Abishek Porel, OUT! CAUGHT! What a well-directed short ball that was! Steams in and brings out the surprise bumper, bowling it over leg stump and the ball just climbs on quickly to the batter. Abishek Porel is late to pick up the length and gets hurried into the pull, only managing to lob it towards short fine leg where Sunil Narine takes a simple catch. One Impact Player gets the other Impact Player out and Kolkata are well and truly in command here.

Mitchell Starc to David Warner, SIX! David Warner seems to have had enough and just picks the screws out of that one. Good length on middle and at 143 clicks, Warner stays deep in the crease and clobbers the ball deep into the stands over mid-wicket for a biggie.

Mitchell Starc to David Warner, OUT! CHOPPED ON! Mitchell Starc has the last laugh here and David Warner is devastated with himself. Starc keeps the pace up and around 143 clicks and bowls it a tad fuller. The line also gets corrected and is now close to the off stump and Warner ends up trying to cut too close to the body. The ball catches the inside edge and goes back into the stumps. Delhi have lost 4 inside the Powerplay and fall further into an abyss.

Mitchell Starc to Rishabh Pant, SIX! Rishabh Pant gets off the mark in style! Full and looking for the magical outswinger from the left-hander's pads but this one slides right on. Pant nonchalantly flicks it away over the fielder at deep fine and piocks up a maximum.

Vaibhav Arora to Tristan Stubbs, FOUR! Nicely played and placed! Angles in considerably from outside off on a length, Tristan Stubbs stays in the crease and punches it through point for a boundary.

Vaibhav Arora to Tristan Stubbs, FOUR! Luckily he gets a four! Short and on the bodyline, Tristan Stubbs skips down the track to pull it but the ball is a bit too high as it catches the leading edge and flies over the keeper's head for a boundary.

Andre Russell to Rishabh Pant, SIX! The fielder looked interested in the deep but watches it sail over. Overpitched on the stumps, Rishabh Pant picks it uppishly over deep square leg for a six.

Andre Russell to Rishabh Pant, SIX! Clears the fence again! Short and on the body, Rishabh Pant swivels quickly and pulls it over deep backward square leg for another maximum.

Varun Chakaravarthy to Tristan Stubbs, SIX! BOOM! Varun Chakaravarthy gets greeted with a massive strike. Lands it right into the hitting arc on the middle, Tristan Stubbs clears his front foot before clobbering it into the stands beyond deep mid-wicket for a maximum.

Varun Chakaravarthy to Tristan Stubbs, SIX! Up, up, and away! Wow! Short in length on the stumps, Tristan Stubbs quickly transfers the weight on the back foot and slaps it aerially down the ground for a massive six.

Varun Chakaravarthy to Tristan Stubbs, FOUR! Too much heat on that one and even Andre Russell can't cut it off! Full and straight and well over 100 clicks, Tristan Stubbs manages to make a bit of room and drills it back past the bowler and to the left of long on for a boundary.

Venkatesh Iyer to Rishabh Pant, FOUR! Just enough bat on it! Starts from around the stumps and strays down the leg side on a shortish length, Rishabh Pant gets inside the line and whips it just over short fine leg for a boundary.

Venkatesh Iyer to Rishabh Pant, SIX! How has that gone all the way? Back of a length around off and angling in, Rishabh Pant keeps his shape and muscles it against the angle, powering it over deep cover for a biggie.

Venkatesh Iyer to Rishabh Pant, SIX! This is vintage Rishabh Pant! Comes from over the wicket now and bowls it full done leg, Rishabh Pant gets quite low and uses quick hands to just flick it away almost even without looking and gets it over fine leg for another maximum. 16 off the over with 3 balls to go.

Venkatesh Iyer to Rishabh Pant, FOUR! Make that 20 with 2 balls to go. Misses the wide yorker and ends up serving a low full toss, Rishabh Pant throws his hands at it and hammers it square through cover-point for a boundary.

Venkatesh Iyer to Rishabh Pant, FOUR MORE! FIFTY up for Rishabh Pant and he makes it back-to-back fifties, what a return for the southpaw! Banged in a bit shorter at the body but again just a bit too straight, Pant gets low and pulls it away one bounce over the backward square leg fence for a boundary. This is Pant's first fifty against Kolkata.

Venkatesh Iyer to Rishabh Pant, FOUR! Wow, a hattrick of boundaries to end the over and Delhi pick up 28 runs off it! Goes full and wide, Rishabh Pant reaches out and manages to slice the ball away through the point region for another four. That's the most expensive over of the game and Venkatesh Iyer might not get the ball again for a while.

Varun Chakaravarthy to Rishabh Pant, OUT! CAUGHT! It was coming and eventually, Rishabh Pant does mistime one in an attempt to keep going hard. Varun Chakaravarthy goes full and wide at 95 clicks and gets it just out of the hitting arc. Pant looks for the slog-sweep but has to reach to fetch it and ends up getting an outside edge. The ball gets sliced over backward point where Shreyas Iyer takes a good catch running back over his shoulder.

Varun Chakaravarthy to Axar Patel, OUT! CAUGHT! Straight in and straight out for Axar Patel as Delhi slump further. Varun Chakaravarthy tosses this one up a bit and bowls it on off and middle stump. Axar tries to take him on right away and looks to go downtown but ends up shaking it over mid on. A couple of fielders run towards it but it is the substitute fielder Manish Pandey who charges in from the deep and dives forward to take an excellent catch.

Sunil Narine to Tristan Stubbs, SIX! That is some shot! Dragged down and pushed well outside off, Tristan Stubbs has to reach for it but manages to strike it clean and clear the cover fence for a maximum.

Sunil Narine to Tristan Stubbs, SIX! Another one! Tossed up on the stumps and angling in, Tristan Stubbs gets down on one knee and swats it away over deep square leg for another biggie.

Sunil Narine to Sumit Kumar, SIX! What a cracking shot that! This is bowled well short over middle, Sumit Kumar rocks back and pulls it a long way over the square leg fence to make it 19 runs off the over.

Varun Chakaravarthy to Tristan Stubbs, FOUR! Solid hit! Goes full and wide but ends up offering too much width, Tristan Stubbs stays deep in the crease and thumps it over covers for a boundary.

Varun Chakaravarthy to Tristan Stubbs, OUT! CAUGHT! Tristan Stubbs just had to keep pushing and ended up getting out in the process. Varun Chakaravarthy floats this one up on middle and leg and asks the batter to take it on. Tristan Stubbs sits down to flick it away but ends up hitting it a bit too square behind square leg. Mitchell Starc runs to his right at deep square leg and slides across to take a fine catch and Stubbs has to walk back after a fine knock as well. Varun Chakaravarthy gets his third wicket.

Sunil Narine to Sumit Kumar, OUT! TAKEN! Another one falls and it is finishing quite quickly now! Sunil Narine lands this on a fullish length in front of the stumps, Sumit Kumar sits down on his knee and looks to clear the fence but he mistimes it uppishly and finds Manish Pandey at deep mid-wicket who comes forward a few yards and takes a regulation grab. He won't drop those sitters. Delhi are 8 down now.

Vaibhav Arora to Rasikh Dar, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Vaibhav Arora gets his third and he has used his short deliveries to precision! A well-directed short-pitched delivery on the off stump line, it climbs up further after pitching, Rasikh Dar is too late on the pull shot and gets it off the top edge of the willow as the ball flies to the right of the keeper. Phil Salt completes the catch and takes it comfortably. Kolkata are just one wicket away from a comprehensive win.

Andre Russell to Anrich Nortje, OUT! TAKEN! DONE AND DUSTED! KOLKATA WIN BY A HUGE MARGIN OF 106 RUNS! This is the first time they have won the first three games on the trot in this competition. This is a well-directed bumper on the stumps, Anrich Nortje mistimes the pull shot straight into the hands of the skipper Shreyas Iyer stationed at mid on. A massive victory for Kolkata which will tremendously inflate their net run rate. They still remain unbeaten in this season and climb to the top of the table.
