Delhi Capitals vs Kolkata Knight Riders, 28th MatchIPL 2023 Scorecard:

In the 28th match of IPL 2023, Delhi Capitals defeated Kolkata Knight Riders by 4 wickets in a low-scoring encounter.

Kolkata Knight Riders won the toss and elected to bat first, but they were off to a shaky start as they lost early wickets. Opener Jason Roy played a responsible innings of 43 runs off 39 balls, but he didn’t get much support from the other end. KKR kept losing wickets at regular intervals and could only manage to score a modest total of 127 runs in their 20 overs. Andre Russell played a late cameo of 38 runs off 31 balls to help KKR cross the 100-run mark. Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel picked up 2 wickets each for Delhi Capitals.

In response, Delhi Capitals lost Prithvi Shaw early, but David Warner played a magnificent innings of 57 runs off 41 balls to anchor the innings. However, DC also lost wickets at regular intervals and were struggling to chase down the target. But in the end, Axar Patel held his nerve and scored an unbeaten 19 runs off 22 balls to take DC over the finish line with 4 wickets and 4 balls to spare. Anukul Roy was the pick of the bowlers for KKR, picking up 2 wickets for just 6 runs in his 2 overs.

Overall, it was a good performance by Delhi Capitals, especially with the ball, as they restricted KKR to a low total and then chased it down comfortably. With this win, DC moves up to the second position on the points table, while KKR remains in the bottom half of the table.
