New Delhi: Delhi Capitals have won the first win in IPL 2023 on the basis of the excellent performance of their bowlers. The team had lost all the 5 matches played earlier. Delhi won by 4 wickets over KKR. After losing the toss, Kolkata Knight Riders were stopped by the Delhi bowlers for 127 runs. In response, for Delhi, captain David Warner hit fifty in 33 balls. But the spin bowlers got KKR back. In the last over, Delhi achieved the target by losing 6 wickets. This is Kolkata’s third consecutive defeat. The start of the match was delayed by an hour due to rain.

KKR’s three wickets fell in the powerplay

For KKR, England batsman Roy tried to give the team a quick start by hitting Mukesh Kumar for two fours in the second over. But on the last ball of this over, KKR lost the first wicket in the form of Liton Das (four). In-form Venkatesh Iyer might not even open the account and became the victim of Enrich Norkia in the fourth over. KKR’s score was two for 25 in the fourth wicket. Captain Nitish Rana was sent to the pavilion by Ishant Sharma in the sixth over.

The pressure mounted on KKR following losing three wickets in the powerplay but Roy continued to admonish the loose balls from the other end. Mandeep became the victim of Akshar Patel following scoring 12 runs. ‘Wonder Boy’ Rinku Singh came to the crease and showed his attitude by hitting Akshar for four. In the 10th over, Kuldeep Yadav was welcomed by Roy with a six. Rinku was expected to accelerate the innings but following scoring six runs, Akshar’s ball was caught by Lalit Yadav at deep square leg. Andre Russell and Roy played carefully.

Russell’s hat-trick six in the last over

Jason Roy scored the maximum 43 runs for KKR, whose innings was ended by Kuldeep Yadav in the 15th over. Kuldeep lbw out Anukul Roy (0) on the very next ball though missed out on the hat-trick. Andre Russell, who was struggling with poor form, gave KKR some respectable total by hitting Mukesh for three sixes in the last over. Russell remained unbeaten on 38 off 31 balls with the help of one four and four sixes. Varun Chakraborty was run out on the last ball of the innings.

Warner hit Fifty

Prithvi Shaw’s poor form continued for Delhi and he was bowled by Varun in the fifth over following scoring 13 runs. Warner hit Sunil Narine for four fours in the sixth over to complete Delhi’s 50 runs. In the next over, Anukul conceded just one run and troubled Mitchell Marsh a lot. In the next over, KKR captain Rana took the ball himself and dismissed Marsh (two), who was looking under pressure. Anukul took the wicket of Phil Salt in his next over but runs continued to flow from Warner’s bat at the other end. He completed his half-century in 33 balls by hitting Anukul for a four in the 11th over, which was his 59th fifty in the IPL. Warner’s innings was ended by Varun on the first ball of the 14th over and this over was also bowled by Madden. Warner hit 11 fours in his innings.

After the fall of Warner’s wicket, Delhi kept losing wickets but in the end, Akshar Patel (19 runs in 22 balls) batted patiently and took the team to victory.
