Delhi Daredevils produced a thorough all-round performance to notch up their fourth win, beating Kolkata Knight Riders by 27 runs in an Indian Premier League (IPL) on April 30, 2016 (Saturday). Delhi recovered from a poor start to post an strong total of 186/8. It was enough as they claimed wickets at regular intervals to bowl out KKR for 159 in 18.3 overs. It moved Delhi to second in the standings, with eight points from six matches, demoting KKR to third, due to an inferior run rate. KKR have also played a game more.

KKR got into early trouble while chasing, losing skipper Gautam Gambhir and pinch-hitter Piyush Chawla. Gambhir (6) produced a leading edge at cover off Zaheer Khan in the third over. His departure allowed the introduction of Chawla (8), who was pushed up in search of some quick runs. But it flopped as he was also claimed by Zaheer to reduce KKR to 33/2 in five overs.

Opener Robin Uthappa (72) carried the team forward but lacked support. Hard-hitter Yusuf Pathan (10) went cheaply to compound their problems. As did Suryakumar Yadav's (21) brief but eventful stay at the crease. He hit a four and a six to raise hopes but flattered to deceive, caught superbly by a forward-lunging Shreyas Iyer.

Uthappa carried the bat through and Andre Russell's lusty hitting (17) brought KKR closer to the target, needing 51 off 24 balls. Leg-spinner Amit Mishra's sharp caught and bowled chance of Russell broke KKR's momentum in the 17th over.
