KKR vs DC Highlights IPL 2026: DC conclude IPL league stage with comprehensive 40-run win for positive end to season

KKR vs DC LIVE Score: That's that! Ngidi picks up a third to pick up DC's seventh win – the third time in four years that DC have picked up that many wins, and plenty of hope to take into 2027 as they pick up a third win in a row.

KKR running out of steam – couldn't quite find the oomph as the middle order faded on the night.

With that, time called on IPL 2026's league stage. See you in a couple of days for the playoffs, ciao!

KKR vs DC LIVE Score: Quick wickets again! Into the surface from Starc, hits Anukul hard on the bat as he tries to swing big. Can slice it and it goes nowhere – Starc himself with the catch, simple as you like.

DC two wickets away.

KKR vs DC LIVE Score: That could be the game! DC's fielding, short of that one Porel drop, has been sensational all day. Rizvi from the deep has all three stumps to aim at, but still needs a good, accurate throw. Hoses down Powell, and KKR have collapsed in some fashion!

KKR vs DC LIVE Score: Rovman Powell squeezes away a phenomenal yorker from Ngidi, off the inside edge, for four. Just about keeps KKR within touching distance – but they need 15+ from this next over, likely going to Starc. Only way they stay alive in this chase. Powell certainly has the power to do it.

KKR vs DC LIVE Score: Axar Patel saves Abishek Porel's blushes! Tejasvi Dahiya tries to rock back and hammer it, but it's a thick edge onto his stumps.

129/6 now – DC have changed the flow of this game in some way.

KKR vs DC LIVE Score: ABISHEK POREL COSTS KULDEEP YADAV A HAT-TRICK! It's a beautiful delivery, around the wicket, pitching on off and straightening with the googly, and that should be a simple catch – but hard hands from Abishek Porel, who almost celebrates before he's caught it!

Kuldeep cannot believe it. Incensed!

KKR vs DC LIVE Score: RINKU SINGH CHIPS IT TO LONG-OFF AND TRISTAN STUBBS TAKES A TOP CATCH! Talk about two men who really needed this boost of confidence – nicely flighted by Kuldeep again, Rinku can only really chip it wide of Stubbs. He has the foot-speed to get there, and settle under it really nicely on the run! Terrific work.

Hat-trick ball…

KKR vs DC LIVE Score: Big wicket for DC! Rahane was holding up an end really well, but his wicket opens things up for DC – if they can get another here, all the pressure really goes onto KKR!

128/4 now – sliced down to long-off, nicely taken by Miller again.

KKR vs DC LIVE Score: Ajinkya Rahane gets to fifty! Second of the season – one in the first of the season, and now in the last.

KKR slowing down just a touch but have plenty of powerful batting in the tank. 101 off 54 needed.

KKR vs DC LIVE Score: Key wicket! Kuldeep Yadav has had a season to forget but this will do him a world of good. Nicely flighted up, Green tries to go big, but can only slice it – Miller safe as houses down at long off.

DC pull momentum towards them.

KKR vs DC LIVE Score: A tasty last 11 overs set up now. KKR at the rate, and will back themselves to go 10rpo from here – but DC will be keen to find another wicket soon, and in doing so put the pressure right back on them.

KKR vs DC LIVE Score: Oh, that could be big! It has just begun to drizzle, which means DLS could come into play – and just as that happens, Pandey hammers it down to long on, where Starc takes a terrific catch diving forward!

Hopefully we get a full game because this is proving to be one tasty match now.

KKR vs DC LIVE Score: Great hitting as the experienced Indian pair say that no Allen, no problem! Overpitched as Axar tries to force an error but all he gets is punishment – nice, clean hits down the ground from Rahane.

KKR up with the rate – DC now scratching their heads.

KKR vs DC LIVE Score: Manish Pandey in a confident mood and taking on the spinner in particular! Happy to go hard and high, already a couple of sixes – keeping KKR up with the rate thus far. DC need to sneak through a couple of quiet overs.

KKR vs DC LIVE Score: DC with the key wicket of Allen, and restruct KKR, relatively speaking. KKR ahead of where DC were at the minute, but the big fish gone – big effort needed from the remaining batters.

KKR vs DC LIVE Score: Very similar to how he got out last time out! Allen tries to stay back and go big but ends up a little too early through it – Ngidi with a wicket on introduction! DC joyous, they have the key man early.

Finn Allen, Ajinkya Rahane bite into chase of 206 17 off Auqib Nabi's over! This is what they do best – Rahane very good in the powerplay too. Down to up swing, same area targeted, and picks up a pair of sixes.

DC in desperate need of a wicket, where can they go?

KKR vs DC LIVE Score: After that imperious six, a couple of thick edges from Allen and Rahane that fetches them a couple of fours.

26/0 after 3 – chase up and running.

KKR vs DC LIVE Score: Takes on Mitch Starc! Relatively quiet start but it was never going to last long. On a length, Finn Allen watches it all the way and a lovely straight drive that has no doubt as soon as it touches his bat.

KKR vs DC LIVE Score: Welcome back! DC know the value of Finn Allen's wicket early, that will be absolutely key. Here comes Starc.

KKR vs DC LIVE Score: Great comeback from Saurabh Dubey, nails his yorkers late on. Another drop from Tejasvi Dahiya on a regulation chance – slightly ruins KKR's stellar fielding figures for the season.

DC finish on 203/5 – feels like just about par on this surface, so should be an interesting defence.

KKR vs DC LIVE Score: Dubey has some revenge! Miller tries to go hard down the ground but it's a spectacular field placement – Finn Allen inside the ring and very straight at mid-off, straight to him.

Two balls to play, Ashutosh off strike. Where can DC manufacture another boundary?

KKR vs DC LIVE Score: A pinpoint yorker on the second ball, but the first ball is a full toss and the third is overpitched. Just a little off on those two balls, and that's the risk against someone like Miller, who can tonk them to both sides of the ground and comfortably pick up a pair of sixes!

200 up with a wide too – three balls to play. Can Miller find a couple more boundaries?

KKR vs DC LIVE Score: Some shot! That's his speciality and makes it work – even the go-to death bowling, he is able to find some shot in his locker and help it over the keeper.

Ends the over by playing a lovely cover drive for six, on his haunches to get underneath it and send it sailing!

187/4 now with the last over coming up.

KKR vs DC LIVE Score: Couple of overs left and DC's designated finishers at the crease. Will be looking to get 25 if not 30 from these last couple – Miller in particular set now.
