DC vs KKR Highlights, IPL 2026: Finn Allen hammers ton to take KKR over the line with 6 overs to spare; 4th win in a row

DC vs KKR LIVE Score: DC would have wanted a little more from the last over of the powerplay, but Nitish Rana chews up three dot balls. Not what the home team wanted.

DC vs KKR LIVE Score: KL Rahul can't motor on today! Got something of a start with a couple of boundaries to get moving, and you expect him to capitalise from there. But tries to go a little too hard at Kartik Tyagi and skies it – the big hands of Cameron Green were never going to mess that up.

49/1 after 5, big moment in the game!

DC vs KKR LIVE Score: Nissanka picks up another six, but not the most dynamic start for DC. They know the 8 overs of Varun and Narine would be tricky, so wanted a faster start than this.

DC vs KKR LIVE Score: Can't bowl there to him! He loves it in that region, where he can simply swivel and use a horizontal bat path to send it flying over square leg. Big hit to get some momentum going.

17/0 after 2.

DC vs KKR LIVE Score: One four for Nissanka in that over as he pulls away a shorter one for a boundary – but as expected, tight start. DC know the need for a big powerplay after their struggles vs CSK.

DC vs KKR LIVE Score: KKR go to Anukul Roy – AKeal Hosein put both these batters in a bind, even took KL Rahul's wicket. Seems like the right call from KKR to keep them quiet early and create that pressure. Rahul and Nissanka will want a good start. On we go!

DC vs KKR LIVE Score: KKR sticking with what has been working. No changes.

KKR XI: Ajinkya Rahane (c), Angkrish Raghuvanshi (wk), Cameron Green, Rovman Powell, Manish Pandey, Rinku Singh, Sunil Narine, Anukul Roy, Kartik Tyagi, Vaibhav Arora, Varun Chakaravarthy

Impact: Ramandeep Singh, Finn Allen, Tejasvi Dahiya, Navdeep Saini, Tim Seifert

DC vs KKR LIVE Score: Couple of changes – Mukesh and Vipraj in for Natarajan and Karun Nair.

DC XI: Pathum Nissanka, KL Rahul (wk), Nitish Rana, Sameer Rizvi, Tristan Stubbs, Axar Patel (c), Ashutosh Sharma, Vipraj Nigam, Mitchell Starc, Lungi Ngidi, Mukesh Kumar

Impact: Kuldeep Yadav, Karun Nair, Abhishek Porel, T Natarajan, David Miller

DC vs KKR LIVE Score: No shcoker as the choice is to bowl first for Kolkata Knight Riders – cites how understanding the surface early is crucial.

Team news next.

DC vs KKR LIVE Score: Half an hour until the toss. The Arun Jaitley Stadium has clearly become a venue to chase at – 4 out of 5 matches won by the team batting second, and even the fifth should have gone that way, a 1-run loss. Expect that to be the call in a must-win game for both team

DC vs KKR LIVE Score: DC have struggled with their batting all year, not quite finding the early explosion or consistency through the middle. KL Rahul has been in top form and kept DC afloat with a sequence of strong performances – and always seems not too far from a big performance. What he needs is some big support from the likes of Stubbs, Nissanka around him.

DC vs KKR LIVE Score: After DC's loss to CSK, Axar Patel spoke about how he ‘missed’ Kuldeep Yadav – seemingly implying that he and the team expected more from their premium spinner after a season in which he has been the most expensive for any regular spin option. It has been a poor season for him and for Axar himself – also with bat, but particularly with ball, with DC struggling to be threatening through middle overs.

It is something that KKR themselves struggled with, Narine not quite having the bite and Varun Chakravarthy continuing to be expensive. But they have clicked into groove, taking regular wickets and doing what they do best. DC's spinners need to take note.

DC vs KKR LIVE Score: After an extremely subpar start to their season, KKR have come roaring back with 3 wins in their last 3 games. These have included victories over high-flying SRH and RR, as well as holding their nerve in a Super Over victory against Lucknow Super Giants. It was just a matter of clicking into form – the spinners in particular being back amongst the wickets, adding the X-factor.

DC vs KKR LIVE Score: The last-ball heartbreaker where David Miller turned down a single vs GT. Failing to defend 264, a record chase given up to PBKS. Blown apart for 75 all-out against RCB. The latest loss to CSK was the one which was most ‘regulation’ of DC's failures at home, but they have seen the Qila Kotla breached again and again this season. Simply not at terms with what the Arun Jaitley Stadium has to offer this side.

DC vs KKR LIVE Score: These are two teams who are struggling in the lower half of the table – Delhi, despite a strong start, find themselves only one point ahead of a KKR team which could only manage a solitary point in their first six games. KKR have come roaring back with three wins to stay within the conversation, but the climb up the table remains a treacherous one.

DC vs KKR LIVE Score: We head to the Arun Jaitley Stadium, where the home team have seen their fortress breached again and again. A Delhi Capitals team which has been struggling for wins against Kolkata Knight Riders bouncing after three wins in a row – two teams with not much to fight for than hope, but that can often be the most powerful motivator. Stick around for all the updates!
