Delhi, May 8 (PTI) Kolkata Knight Riders spinners led by Sunil Narine strangled Delhi Capitals in the middle overs on a tacky surface to restrict them to 142 for eight in their IPL match, here on Friday.
Pathum Nissanka struck a quick 50 (29 balls; 5×4, 3×6) but Delhi lost momentum after his dismissal, scoring just 11 runs between the 12th and 16th overs as Anukul Roy (2/31), Kartik Tyagi (2/25) and Sunil Narine (1/17) applied the brakes.
Ashutosh Sharma’s late 28-ball 39 (3×4, 3×6), gave Delhi some respite.
