Finn Allen remained unbeaten on 100 off 47 balls, hitting 5 fours and 10 sixes in this explosive innings. Allen scored 80 runs solely from boundaries. At one point, Allen was batting on 53 off 34 balls. He took just 13 balls to score the last 47 runs of his innings.

KKR's winning boundary

This is the same Kolkata Knight Riders, who failed to win a single match in the first six matches of the season. But now, Kolkata has registered a fourth consecutive victory, taking their tally to 9 points from 10 matches. KKR can still easily secure a playoff berth without relying on anyone. Winning their next four matches could take them to 17 points.

Pathum Nissanka contributed 50 runs and Ashutosh Sharma 39 for Delhi Capitals. However, this score was clearly not a defendable total. Except for Axar Patel and Lungi Ngidi, all Delhi bowlers were thrashed.
