Kolkata Knight Riders keep playoff dreams alive
IPL 2025 Points Table, Top Batters, Top Bowlers, Team Rankings & Standing After IPL Today Match Update: Kolkata Knight Riders stunned the Delhi Capitals 14 runs at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday to keep their slim chances of making it to the Indian Premier League playoffs alive. This was the fourth win of the season for the KKR team. Batting first on Tuesday, Kolkata Knight Riders managed to score 204/9 in their quota of 20 overs, thanks to Angkrish Raghuvanshi (44 off 32) and Rinku Singh (36 off 25). Mitchell Starc played his role for Delhi, ending with 3/43 on a night when his over saw three KKR wickets fall in three balls, including a run out. Starc also took a brilliant catch on the ropes. In response, Delhi Capitals folded for 190/9. Faf du Plessis (62 off 45) and skipper Axar Patel (43 off 23) were the pick of the batters in the chase. While they were in the middle, it felt like the hosts should get to the target comfortably. But Sunil Narine took 29/3 to weave his magic.
The result sees all 10 teams stay at the same spot in the IPL 2025 standings as they were at the end of Monday, when 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi had blown the roof off at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.
