Finn Allen went berserk with the bat. That’s really the story here.
The Kiwi opener smashed his maiden IPL century – an unbeaten 100 runs off just 47 balls – to help Kolkata Knight Riders beat Delhi Capitals by 8 wickets. Chasing 143, Allen did most of the heavy lifting. And honestly, that partnership with Cameron Green… that basically sealed it.
The two stitched together 116 runs in 64 balls for the third wicket. Green contributed 37 runs but let’s be real – Allen did most of the hitting. The way he accelerated towards the end, you could see KKR wanted those 2 points badly. They got them.
Earlier, DC had a nightmare with the bat. Bundled out for just 142 runs in their innings. Poor batting performance, if you look closely. Didn’t give themselves a fighting chance.
Axar Patel leads Delhi Capitals. After this loss, there’s probably a lot to work on. The season goes on though.
So yeah, KKR get two crucial points. That’s it for this one.
