Delhi Daredevils are in great form and registered their 5th win in the tournament as they beat
Kolkata Knight Riders by 9 wickets with an over to spare. Winning the toss, Kolkata batted first and scored 154 runs, their highest score in the tournament so far. In reply, Delhi chased the target pretty easily, thanks to poor fielding and several dropped catches by the Knight Riders.
Gautam Gambhir who is struggling in the tournament so far, finished the innings with an unbeaten 71 runs in 57 balls. He is well supported by Dilshan who scored a quick 42 runs. With this win, Delhi is sitting comfortably at the top of the IPL points table. Kolkata has won just 1 in 9 matches they played so far in the tournament and their chances of reaching the semifinals is pretty thin.
