DC vs KKR, IPL 2022 live score: Umesh wins first ball for Shaw after 147 chases

Hello and welcome to Sportsstar’s live broadcast of the IPL 2022 match between Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

Warner and Shaw begin the chase. Umesh Yadav has a new ball. NO MORE! What a start. Shaw goes in search of a golden duck when Umesh wins an excellent return hit. Mitchell Marsh, at age 3, deviated from the line with a continuous boundary line. Fortunately though the outer edge does not carry to slide.

– START SITUATION –

KKR ended on 146/9, Mustafizur got three goals and Kuldeep four. DC needs 147 to win.

Mustafizur. So Kuldeep does not disappoint. Rana lost a ball first. Rinku fell in a ball 16 23. Umesh in a strike, lbw appealed the first ball. Given not out. Review Pant. Do not go out. Three balls to go and Rana attacks as the batter runs 1. Nitish Rana catches the next ball for 57! Check if it is clean. Clean like a whistle. Rana has to go. There are two balls left. Southee got his first ball cleared! So breathtaking from The Fizz! Polka dots. Just 2 runs and 3 plugs! What an ending. Mustafizur: 4-0-18-3.

KKR 144/6 in 19 spins: Rana hit the first ball six times, bringing home 30 balls 50. Thakur bowled on the 19th ball. Rinku Singh then hit the fifth ball to the ground for four. 16 words more.

KKR 128/6 in 18 spins: Mustafizur. The above 10 include 2 quadrupeds, one for Rinku and Rana each.

KKR 118/6 in 17 rounds: Lalit. Rana hit a six. Valuable runs. What’s worse? It’s a ball that doesn’t give height! Free hit. Just 1 free shot. 10 off for the first 3 balls. Rana was flexing her muscles, hitting the fifth ball for another max ball. 17 words more.

KKR 101/6 in 16 spins: Sakariya. Rinku Singh guides the first ball to the third man of four. It was Rana’s turn to add to the tally: four to the third man’s fence. 12 run from over.

KKR 89/6 in 15 rounds: With two lefties on the bend, Lalit passed another. Those four words – damn spells from DC bowlers.

KKR 85/6 in 14 spins: Kuldeep is back. Appeal for being caught behind. Shreyas is out! Pant’s brilliant catch behind a tree. Andre Russell arrives with the fold. NO MORE! Russell was confused. Four for Kuldeep. TIME OUT! Rinku Singh gritted his teeth. 2 wicks and 2 runs. Kuldeep 3-0-14-4.

KKR 72/4 in 12 rounds: Axar to paint out. Shreyas gets the first four balls. He collected four more from the fourth. Shreyas is continuing. 11 out.

KKR 61/4 in 11 rounds: Thakur with his second. Very good second place from Thakur after going up to 11 in his first game. Only these five words cover a broad.

KKR 37/4 in 8 rounds: Kuldeep replaces Mustafizur. NO MORE! Indrajith loss, for Rovman Powell in the long run. KKR is in serious trouble. Pant’s bowling changes have worked wonders so far. Narine was awarded the first ball lbw! He reviewed it after talking to Shreyas. Three red shirts and Kuldeep will score a hat-trick! Nitish Rana saves the ball hat-trick. 3 runs and 2 wicks.

KKR 34/2 in 7 rounds: Azar continued. A more economical for DC. Five singles from it. KKR crawls at the moment.

KKR 29/2 in 6 rounds: Mustafizur returns to attack. Year runs from Thursday. Apparently, the PowerPlay title belongs to DC.

KKR 24/2 in 5 rounds: Spin inside PowerPlay. Axar Patel with the ball. NO MORE! The move paid off as Venkatesh took a short profit. Pressure to pay. Baba Indrajith grimaced his teeth. Three runs and one wicket.

KKR 21/1 in 4 passes: Sakarya. Very good from the young left hand. Only four more words.

KKR 17/1 in 3 passes: Shardul replaces Mustafizur. Shreyas tied a harness for four people. A couple to end a more expensive. 11 from it.

KKR 2/0 in 1 more: Aaron Finch and Venkatesh Iyer to open. Mustafizur Rahman with the new ball. Swing straight but start down the leg… wide ball. Polka dots. Bowls a third ball inswinger, stifling calls for lbw but no one introduced. Looks like no bats are involved – will be the referee’s call. Finch picks a single ball from the fourth ball. Two dots to end.

UPDATE LOSS: The capital Delhi won the pitching contest and chose to enter the field

PREVIEW

It is a time of crisis for the Capitals of Delhi and the Knights of Kolkata. One slip here, and the fall can be very steep.

The clash of the Indian Premier League 2022 at Wankhede Stadium on Thursday will be a confrontation between two injured predators.

Both teams have three wins each. KKR, with eight matches, played one game more. And both teams are at the bottom of the table.

With Prithvi Shaw, David Warner, Rishabh Pant and Rovman Powell, DC has overwhelming power. It remains to be seen whether the franchise recovers from the explosiveness at the end of their clash with the Rajasthan Royals with all that in mind for a ‘shadow-free’ possibility for height.

DC has a useful speed pack with Khaleel Ahmed, Shardul Thakur and Mustafizur Rahman complementing each other. And the steady Axar Patel and the rejuvenated Kuldeep Yadav could derail with contrasting spin.

KKR has yet to figure out its best opening combination and where to fit for last year’s sensation, Venkatesh Iyer.

And ‘mysterious’ cameraman Varun Chakravarthy – who barely plays for the state in today’s domestic cricket with IPL as his livelihood – is being driven around the park.

Andre Russell still punches with bat and ball, Sunil Narine continues to be a sly wicket player, and sly Tim Southee, a better bowling pick than Pat Cummins, can still be beaten.

On the Wankhede court with inconsistent bounce, the side that seizes the opportunity will win.
