DC vs KKR | Destructive Knight Riders batters make it a no contest
The HinduSunil Narine top-scored with 85 as Kolkata Knight Riders took apart Delhi Capitals’ bowling like cotton candy to post 272 for seven before going on to win by 106 runs at the Dr. YSR ACA-VDCA cricket stadium here on Wednesday. While Salt hit two consecutive fours — a loft over covers and a slash past the short third man— in Ishant Sharma’s first over, Narine hit three sixes and two fours in his second.
