Delhi Capitals Make It 3 Of 4 After Scoring Highest Total Of IPL 2020

Sharjah stadium of the UAE could rightly be said as a run skyscraper amidst the cemetery of bowlers. The 16th game of IPL-13, between Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Capitals, witnessed yet another 400-plus-run match. Mounting over a decent start, Delhi’s top order went hammers and tongs after the Kolkata bowling line-up. With skipper Shreyas Iyer's 88 runs off just 38 deliveries, Delhi scored a mammoth total of 228. Chasing this target, KKR's opening pair failed yet again with Sunil Narine bowled for just 3 runs. Though Morgan and Rahul Tripathi tried to swing the match with their run-showering innings, they could not help Kolkata to secure a win. On the contrary, Delhi bagged its third victory this season after beating Kolkata by 18 runs. Interestingly, with this win, Delhi scaled up to the first position in the points tally, replacing Bangalore who topped only a few hours earlier after comfortably defeating Rajasthan by 8 wickets.
