Presentation time.

Zaheer Khan: "We have faith in our batters, we always spoke about that freedom to express. The good start will come at some stage. Some concerns but not really worried about it. Billings was brilliant. Plan was to create early pressure. Pitch was a little sticky with the new ball."

Carlos Brathwaite is the Man of the Match: "Pleased with that. As a team, we are very solid and very strong. Big thanks to the backroom staff. Was losing it a bit mentally, got the frustration out and came out to resume duty (after the 22-run over).

7.30pm Fantastic effort from Daredevils to beat KKR, while defending a score, in Delhi! After falling to 2 for 2 in the first over, Daredevils have cruised through the rest of the game. That Mishra catch was surely the match-turning moment in this contest. Uthappa anchored the innings with a steady fifty, but they didn't have enough firepower through the middle. Zaheer and Brathwaite took three wickets each to dent the chase. Excellent game for Daredevils.

: "We didn't expect them to get 187 at any point of time. Credit to the way they batted. Maybe if we restricted them to 160. We need to be more professional. If its a good wicket, its difficult to contain. We gave 15-20 runs more. Everyone needs to deliver, can't be just 2 or three batters. Haven't played smart cricket in the last two games.

Khan to Umesh Yadav, OUT

and that is the game! KKR have stumbled to back to back losses. Another slower ball on middle, Yadav gets across and swats the ball in the air but straight to deep square leg. Morris takes a sitter and Daredevils have a big win

Khan to Umesh Yadav, 1 run, OUT

nice delivery, a slow offcutter on off. Yadav goes for the big heave but toe-ends to long-off. Narine has to come back for the second and does. Iyer, though, picks up cleanly and hits the stumps at the bowler's end. Narine is a foot short.

Morris to Uthappa, OUT

gone. And that should be the match. Full and wide outside off, Uthappa backs away and slices the cut, but straight to backward point. Had to reach for it and did not get enough bat on it, to get the ball in front of point

Morris to Holder, OUT

what is Holder doing? A golden duck. Excellent low full toss on leg, Holder misses the flick. the ball hits his pads and rolls back up the pitch. Holder runs down, had no idea of where the ball had rolled. It had gone straight to Morris who ran in and under-armed the throw onto the stumps with Holder well out.

Mishra to Russell, OUT

what a catch! A match-turning effort from Mishra. Slow flight on off from Mishra, Russell runs down and smashes the ball back at Mishra's face. Mishra hurriedly gets his hands up in an effort to save himself. And the ball sticks. Could have been very very dangerous if the ball burst through his hands. He takes it and fires the ball back at the stumps.

another googly on middle, Russell gets down on one knee and sweeps powerfully betweent square leg and midwicket

2 runs a ball

Amit: "9 extras (6 nb, 3 wds) is very poor from DD. Giving 9 extra balls to KKR as well. Lack of discipline."

16.4
Mishra to Russell, no run

massive appeal, a nice googly on middle and leg from Mishra. Russell doesn't pick it again, sliding down leg. Good call

Mishra to Uthappa, FOUR runs

through the legs. How did he get that there? A very wide legbreak outside off, Uthappa switch hits, but doesn't get there. He is through the shot but the back of his bat comes down late and he gets some bat on it to get the ball through the keeper's legs. What a shot!

Mishra to Uthappa, SIX runs

slow and flight on off, Uthappa slog sweeps it away over midwicket for six. Excellent shot. A tad too full from Mishra?

Still, KKR just one over away from par. Daredevils need two wickets

Nevin Clinton: "Poor team selection from DD. Now Mishra has to bowl an over at the death which will decide the game."

this one is connected with and it is dispatched. Good length delivery on middle, in the arc and Russell flat-bats his swat way over midwicket. Huge.

Aman: "Delhi's score break-up, frst 6 overs 37 runs, middle 8 overs 69 runs and last 6 overs 80 runs. Comparing that with KKR, first 6 overs 43 runs, middle 8 overs 70 runs and it's down to the final 6 overs now where they require 74 to win."
