KOLKATA, India (AP) — Kolkata Knight Riders dismantled batting maestros the Delhi Capitals at home in a commanding seven-wicket win in the Indian Premier League on Monday. Delhi scored 220-plus in two of its last three games but crashed to 153-9, a total saved from embarrassment by No. 9 batter Kuldeep Yadav lashing out for an unbeaten 35 off 26 balls. Kolkata raced to 157-3 in 16.3 overs and cemented second place on the table. Phil Salt capitalized on a second-over dropped catch to smash 68, his fourth half-century of the season. Delhi stayed sixth. Delhi made a rollicking start when Prithvi Shaw smashed three successive boundaries off fit-again Mitchell Starc’s first three legitimate balls in the first over that went for 19 runs. Jake Fraser-McGurk then lofted Starc for a six and a sliced boundary over point in the left-armer’s next over. But Fraser-McGurk holed out to deep square leg as Starc found his groove. |
