Delhi Capitals vs Kolkata Knight Riders, 48th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Mitchell Starc to Harshit Rana, out Russell Run Out!! Phew! What drama! Russell is run-out at the striker's end but Starc gestures to Faf that he heard a noise. So Delhi Capitals review for a caught behind. Mind you, Starc was on a hat-trick and was in search of his hat-trick. Faf obliges and the third umpire is called in once again. Full delivery around off, Rana stays leg-side and throws his bat on the drive, misses and Russell tries to sneak in a bye, but Porel was ready for it with his one glove removed, takes aim and hits the target. Russell was well short of the crease. Russell run out (Abishek Porel) 17(9) [4s-2 6s-1]

Mitchell Starc to Anukul Roy, out Caught by Chameera!! Oh my! Chameera might have won the catch of the tournament. Most of his team mates are stunned. But they run across to mob the Sri Lankan. Starc misses the yorker and offers a half volley on the pads, Anukul makes a great connection with his whip and the ball was sailing over the rope near backward square leg, Chameera runs to his left and flings himself sideways, stretches both hands and manages to hang on. Even Chameera was a bit surprised after completing the catch and took a few seconds to get up. That ball was travelling and destined to go over the rope but Chameera's fine effort not only saved six but only got Starc a wicket. Anukul Roy c Chameera b Mitchell Starc 0(1)

Mitchell Starc to Powell, out Lbw!! This is classic Starc. He keeps it full and straight from round the wicket, Powell is rooted to the crease and is beaten for pace, the ball beats his bat and strikes him on the back pad. The impact was in front of the stumps and ball-tracking showed it to be smashing into leg-stump. Powell took the review but started walking after the initial replays. Powell lbw b Mitchell Starc 5(5) [4s-1]
