I want the stuff Ponting is up on. What is Sarfaraz Khan doing in XI if you want to send Shardul and Akshar ahead of them. Incredibly poor! – Jhanvi (@ThatCric8Girl) April 10, 2022

A late attack from Axar Patel and Shardul Thakur followed by half-centuries from openers Prithvi Shaw (51 off 29 balls) and David Warner (61 off 45 balls) helped Delhi Capitals beat Kolkata Knight Riders to 215/15 at the Brabourne Stadium on Sunday. Made a huge score of 5. ,
Shaw and Warner set the stage with Rishabh Pant’s 27 to collect a massive total for Delhi. But Sunil Narine, with his 2/21, staged a mini-fightback for Kolkata, as 200 seemed difficult to achieve for Delhi. Patel (22 not out) and Thakur (29 not out) shared a blistering 49 runs in just 20 balls to set a target of 216 runs for Kolkata.
Shaw opened the innings by hitting Umesh Yadav for a four at extra cover on the first ball of the innings. Three balls later, Yadav strayed into the line and Shaw smashed through fine leg to collect his second boundary in the opening over.
In the next over, Shaw dances on the pitch and slaps Rasikh Salaam through covers for a four. Warner then joins the party with a four through mid-wicket. With the pacers finding no support from the pitch, Yadav entangled Shaw with a sharp bouncer, but the batsman hooked well for four.
