Delhi Daredevils vs Kolkata Live Cricket Score, 26th T20, Indian Premier League 2016, April 30, 2016

DD 186/8 (20)
Delhi won by 27 runs
KKR 159/10 (18.3)
Match over
Commentary :
0.0 :

JP Duminy won't be playing as he is 'under the weather', says Zaheer Khan. It will cause a major dent in the Delhi batting for sure. Lots of pressure on the likes of Quentin de Kock and the semi-tested Carlos Brathwaite.

0.2 :

Shreyas Iyer is in, and Shreyas Iyer is out. Big swing for the bowler does him in. There was something about Andre Russell being the MVP. 

0.5 :

DD are in huge trouble now as Q de Kock is back in the hut. This batting lineup is already coming apart and they dont have the luxury of JP Duminy down the order.

2.6 :

Sanju Samson and Karun Nair doing some rebuilding work after the fall of two wickets in the first over. But they will have to continue for a long while. This batting order is brittle.

Straight ball from Sunil Narine gets Sanju Samson LBW. Sometimes these poor techniques really get exposed in the IPL. DD sink into deeper trouble. Sanju had no idea of the turn there.
