DC vs KKR Highlights, IPL 2026: Finn Allen smashes maiden IPL hundred to power KKR to dominant win over DC

Kartik Tyagi to Ashutosh Sharma, He wants two, but won't get it. Back of a length, off cutter, outside off. Ashutosh Sharma tries to pull but badly mistimes it down to long on. The fielder is quick to charge in off the ropes and keeps it down to a single. 

Kartik Tyagi to Ashutosh Sharma, SIX! Just clears the ropes! Very short and outside off. Ashutosh Sharma stays put this time, rises with the bounce and ramps it over the keeper and has enough wood on it to sail it over the ropes for a 57-meter six.

Kartik Tyagi to Ashutosh Sharma, Smart bowling! Kartik spots Ashutosh skipping down the track to spank it over covers, and bowls a sharp short ball, outside off. Sharma swings for the hills, only to miss.

The decision to bowl a wounded Varun Chakaravarthy has proved to be costly for KKR. Now, with all the spinners done with their spells, DC will be looking to make the most of the remaining three overs to try and reach around 150, if not more. Varun has gone off the field now. Also, Kartik Tyagi is back on.

Varun Chakaravarthy to Ashutosh Sharma, Short and wide outside off. Ashutosh Sharma slaps it off the back foot to deep cover for a single. Varun Chakaravarthy goes wicketless with figures of 4-0-28-0.

Varun Chakaravarthy to Ashutosh Sharma, FOUR! Frees his arms again! Another one that drifts outside off, a quicker one on a shorter length. Ashutosh Sharma uses the depth of the crease and cuts it to the left of Anukul Roy at deep cover and picks up another boundary. 15 runs with a ball to go in this over.

Varun Chakaravarthy to Ashutosh Sharma, FOUR! Off the misfield. Quite uncharacteristically, a rare off day for Roy in the field. Quicker over 100 kph, outside off, on a length. Ashutosh Sharma hangs back and slaps it to the right of sweeper cover. Anukul dives but cannot stop it cleanly.

Varun Chakaravarthy to Ashutosh Sharma, SIX! Is this the jailbreak moment for DC? After a loooong arid run, finally a biggie for the hosts. A loosener from Varun, full and around off. Ashutosh Sharma swings it freely and golfs it straight down the ground for a cracking six.

Varun Chakaravarthy to Ashutosh Sharma, Short and wide outside off. Ashutosh reaches for the ball and cuts straight to short third.

Varun Chakaravarthy to Axar Patel, Slowish delivery, outside leg, short. Patel tucks it with soft hands through square leg for a single.

Will Varun Chakaravarthy be able to finish his spell? Yes, he is back on.

Sunil Narine to Axar Patel, On a length, spinning back from outside off. Axar goes deep in the crease and tucks it to deep square leg for a single. And finally, 100 UP FOR DC!

Sunil Narine to Ashutosh Sharma, Not that short on the pads. Ashutosh Sharma gets across and nudges it through mid-wicket for a single.

Sunil Narine to Ashutosh Sharma, Short, on middle, spinning in. Punched off the back foot to short mid-wicket.

Sunil Narine to Ashutosh Sharma, A slight appeal for LBW, but the umpire shakes his head in denial. Possible height? And KKR do not review as Narine looked a bit reluctant. Good length, an off break that pitches close to off stump, and turns in prodigiously. It hits Ashutosh high on the back thigh as he plays all over it. Ball Tracking later shows that it would have clipped the bails of the leg stump on umpire's call.

Sunil Narine to Ashutosh Sharma, Turns in sharply on a length, Ashutosh Sharma is pushed on the back foot and blocks it to short cover somehow.

Sunil Narine to Ashutosh Sharma, Flatter delivery, outside off, Sharma play the full ball off the back foot and eases it to short cover.

Last 5 overs to go. Two of which will be surely bowled by Narine and Chakaravarthy. And here's Sunil Narine back on.

Kartik Tyagi to Axar Patel, On a length and on middle, Axar Patel opens the bat face and guides it to backward point. He wants the run but is sent back.

Kartik Tyagi to Ashutosh Sharma, Much fuller and on middle, Ashutosh Sharma drives it down to long on for a run.

Varun Chakaravarthy is off the field for now. He is getting medical attention from the physio at the sidelines. He was seen hobbling while bowling in his previous over. KKR would hope it's nothing serious.

Kartik Tyagi to Ashutosh Sharma, Short of a length and just outside off, at 142.5 kph, Ashutosh Sharma slashes at it but misses.

Kartik Tyagi to Axar Patel, Touch fuller and on middle, Axar Patel knocks it towards mid off and scampers across for a quick single.

Kartik Tyagi to Axar Patel, Good length and on middle and off, keeps low, Axar Patel gets his bat down and keeps it out towards backward point.

STRATEGIC BREAK​​​​​​! It has been all KKR since the restrictions have been lifted. The Capitals have only managed to add 41 runs since the Powerplay, but crucially, have lost 4 big wickets en route. The spin trap laid by the trio of Narine, Varun and Anukul has just choked the run flow for the hosts. The boundaries have dried up and the run rate has shrunk down to just above run-a-ball. Someone will need to make a move on from here on to get DC out of the mist and post a defendable total. Some respite from spin then. Here's Kartik Tyagi back into the attack. 1-0-10-1 so far are his bowling figures.

Varun Chakaravarthy to Axar Patel, Tossed up, full and around off, Axar Patel mistimes his lofted shot badly. That probably saves him as the ball lands well in front of long off. They cross.

Varun Chakaravarthy to Axar Patel, Three dots on the trot! Shorter again and on off, kicks up a bit off the deck, Axar Patel is taken back and dabs it down to point.

Trial by spin continues. Varun Chakaravarthy (2-0-10-0) replaces Sunil Narine.

Anukul Roy to Ashutosh Sharma, Flatter, full and on off, Ashutosh Sharma forces it to long off for one more. Anukul Roy finishes a fine spell of bowling with figures of 4-0-31-2.

Anukul Roy to Axar Patel, Drops it short and outside off, Axar Patel cuts it away to deep point for one.

Anukul Roy to Ashutosh Sharma, Flighted, full and on off, Ashutosh Sharma pushes it to short cover.

Anukul Roy to Ashutosh Sharma, Fires this one full but down the leg side, Ashutosh Sharma fails to glance it away. Angkrish Raghuvanshi, the keeper, moves to his left, grabs it and appeals right away, but it is turned down. However, Ajinkya Rahane shows trust in his keeper and takes the review. No spike on the UltraEdge when it passes the bat, but there is a spike when it is close to the pad. So, Not Out, but not a wide as well.

Anukul Roy to Axar Patel, Floated, short and around leg, Axar Patel nudges it through mid-wicket for a single.

Sunil Narine to Axar Patel, Beauty! A bit round-armish from Narine from around the stump, full and around off. Axar Patel leans forward to block, but the ball spins past his blade by a whisker. 

Anukul Roy to Ashutosh Sharma, Dragged back, on off, Ashutosh Sharma stabs it out to short cover. 9 runs and 2 wickets from the over!

And just like that, half of the DC side is back in the hut. In walks Ashutosh Sharma at number 7.

Anukul Roy to Tristan Stubbs, OUT! BOWLED'EM! Anukul Roy with the double whammy and problems just keep rising for the Capitals. He bowls this quicker at 95.3 kph, shortish and on off. Tristan Stubbs stays deep inside his crease and tries to guide it with an angled bat. He gets beaten by the pace on the ball and misses as the ball hits the top of off. Stubbs looks bamboozled but has to walk back too. DC are 89/5 in 10.5 overs.
