Nitish Rana’s half century (right), along with Rinku Singh’s 16-ball 23, brought some semblance of respectability to KKR total by taking them close to 150. Sportzpics

Mustafizur Rahman, however, swung the momentum back in Delhi’s favour with three wickets and just a run in the final over to restrict KKR at 146 for 9. Sportzpics

Chasing the modest total, Prithvi Shaw disappointed again with a golden duck as he was caught and bowled off the first ball of the chase by Umesh Yadav. Sportzpics

David Warner’s 26-ball 42 didn’t allow DC to crumble under pressure as his innings allowed them to put 80 runs on the board by the end of the ninth over. Sportzpics

Umesh Yadav, however, kept bringing KKR back in the game by picking big wickets of Shaw, David Warner and Rishabh Pant. Sportzpics
