IPL 2023 DC vs KKR highlights: Skipper David Warner found his perfect hitting arc after Ishant Sharma rolled back the years but even then Delhi Capitals stuttered badly in a modest chase before beating Kolkata Knight Riders by four wickets on Thursday to stay afloat in this edition of the IPL. With their backs to the wall after five defeats on the trot, the DC bowling line-up collectively came to the party as KKR managed only 127 on a spicy deck which aided both pacers and spinners alike. Warner, DC's best batter this season, was struggling with his strike-rate in earlier games but on Thursday, he smashed 57 off 41 with the target being reached with four balls to spare. The DC batting, save Warner looked wobbly once again but a below-par score perhaps saved the day for the home team as the ball started gripping in the second half of the chase making it difficult for strokeplay. Axar Patel (19 not out off 22 balls) despite a groin strain managed to take his team past the finishing line. ...Read More

DC vs KKR Live Score, IPL 2023: Delhi Capitals beat Kolkata Knight Riders by four wickets
It is a mistake that decides this match in the end. Khejroliya oversteps for the second ball and that hence produces three runs and a free hit. All of a sudden DC need just two to win off the three balls with Axar getting a free hit and this time, they don't make a meal of it. He lofts the delivery between long on and deep midwicket and Delhi Capitals, finally, win their first match of the season.

DC vs KKR Live Score: DC need 12 to win off 12
Talks of NRR boosts seem to be a long, long time ago now. DC are desperately holding on here to crawl over the line. KKR are trying to make their job more difficult but mistakes in the field are not really helping them. The side which makes the lesser mistakes wins this match, which is a bit of a summation of how the season has gone for these two teams.

What a delivery that is from Nitish Rana! The ball straightens after pitching and Aman Khan is left dumbfounded as it fizzes past his bat and hits the top of off. Wow, Delhi down to their last four wickets.

DC vs KKR Live Score: OUT! Pandey finds long-on
Delhi are not doing themselves any favours here. Manish Pandey steps out to Anukul off the fifth ball of the 16th and hits it straight into the hands of long-on. Delhi may face a situation where they have to chase down this target with a tail ender out there. Forget about NRR, even getting 2 points might be a good result now.

IPL 2023 Live score: BACK TO BACK FOURS!
Warner pulls the fourth ball wide of mid-on, then he swats back the next one that is sent in short by Narine. Techincally that is a hat-trick of fours as Narine had sprayed the fourth ball wide initially.

Slog sweep over short fine leg from Warner for the third ball of the sixth. This is Sunil Narine bowling but the DC captain is taking him for runs. That is the second four of the over after the first ball had gone for a boundary as well.

DC vs KKR Live Score, IPL 2023: GONE! Chakravarthy gets the breakthrough

Warner looking very good indeed. Russell bowling the third and the first legal ball, after the over started with a no ball, is sent between the bowler and mid-on. Then he smashes the next ball to the same area again.

IPL 2023 Live score: The players are back
DC have a real chance at getting some sweet NRR nectar but so poor has their batting been that they might as well just decide to take it slow and get at least one win under the belt this season. In the middle are the normally dangerous but subdued for this season pair of David Warner and Prithvi Shaw.

DC vs KKR Live Score: Kuldeep Yadav talks
“We bowled really well in the powerplay, got three, four wickets, I think that was game changing for us. I love bowling the quicker ones, in future too I will bowl the quicker ones to keep the batters guessing. I think we bowled well, probably this was the lowest we could restrict them to, given their line-up. I think we can chase this down.”

DC vs KKR Live Score, IPL 2023: KKR 127 all out in 20 overs
A dot ball off the fifth ball and then Chakravarthy is run out off the last ball and so that is where it all ends. Those three sixes made this look like a somewhat respectable total but this really should not be a difficult chase. However, Delhi Capitals have not had the best of times with the bat this season and KKR spinners can make any score look difficult. The powerplay is going to be key, if DC can do well in that period, this match might get over in about 13 overs of their innings.
- Thu, 20 Apr 2023 10:23 PM

IPL 2023 Live score: KKR 108/9 in 19 overs
One of those innings that is simply going nowhere but KKR's pain is just not ending. Russell is on strike, he has dragged his bat to 19 off 25, akmost none of his shots have worked today. Wonder what he can make of this last over, Mukesh Kumar bowling it.
- Thu, 20 Apr 2023 10:14 PM

Russell smashes the ball through deep third. That is not where he was intending to hit it but who cares at the moment. KKR get to 105/9 at the end of the 18th

DC vs KKR Live Score, IPL 2023: Nortje is down!

IPL 2023 Live score: 100 UP FOR KKR!
They've done it! Well, it is a wide delivery from Mukesh that finally gets them to three digits but hey, it is a team hundred. Only problem is that they have just one wicket left and 18 balls and the man in the middle is Andre Russell. Only not the Dre Russ who used to hit more sixes in a match than a normal batter would over the course of an entire season of the IPL, but the version who has been absolutely pinned down by bowlers today and in all matches thus far this year.
- Thu, 20 Apr 2023 09:58 PM

IPL 2023 Live score: KKR 92/6 in 14 overs
Roy is on 43 off 36 and Andre Russell is on 12 off 10. Any team would envy KKR's position considering the fact that they have these two batters in the middle for themselves but the situation couldn't be more different. They need a miracle partnership between Russell and Roy to put up a competitive total here.
- Thu, 20 Apr 2023 09:35 PM

- Thu, 20 Apr 2023 08:42 PM
DC vs KKR Live Score: OUT! Liton falls early
Top edges the pull and Liton is caught at at square leg. It was short from Mukesh, Liton just instinctively pulls at it, it was a nothing shot really and he loses his wicket for it. Another opening partnership goes down the drain for KKR.
