Windies spinner bags three quick wickets to help KKR script a 14-run win over hosts
NEW DELHI: There is never a good time for teams to lose momentum in a competition like the IPL where matches come thick and fast, but Delhi Capitals (DC) losing steam in the second half of the league feels even worse.
The home team has had a horrid run at home -- they came into Tuesday's contest against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on the back of two losses in their last three home games -- and the 14-run reversal to Ajinkya Rahane's men certainly put them on thin ice as far as holding their place in the top four is concerned.
KKR, meanwhile, are already in the must-win scenario and the win against DC keeps their playoff hopes alive. DC, though, can only blame themselves for the position they are in.
Chasing 204 on a true batting track under lights, DC batters, barring Faf du Plessis and skipper Axar Patel and some late fireworks from Vipraj Nigam, found a way to bungle up.
KKR's spin twins Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine came to the fore once again with a combined haul of five wickets as DC kept losing wickets at regular intervals.
