KKR 204-9 (20 Ovs) vs DC | SCORECARD

Chameera continues the attack, and Russell gets a single to start. There are two consecutive wides, and then Powell plays the ball towards long on for another single. A fumble from Karun Nair results in a boundary, followed by a toe-end shot from Russell that goes fine and just wide of short third for another four. Another wide follows, and Russell leaves it. He plays towards cover but gets no runs, and the over ends with a single. 

A total of 14 runs come off the over, and after 19 overs, KKR are 195-6. 

Starc takes the ball for the final over. Russell's muscles are on full display as he smashes a huge six. The next delivery is a slower, shorter ball, and Russell ducks under it. It's called a wide for height, and Delhi Capitals opt to review it. They lose the review, as the ball is clearly well above Powell's head. Starc then angles one down the leg side, and Powell misses. Porel leaps to his left but can't stop the bye, leading to further confusion. Starc believes the ball brushed Powell's pad and consults du Plessis. DC reviews again, and UltraEdge shows a small spike when the ball is near the pad, leading to the wide being cancelled.

Then, Powell is pinned in front by a ball from Starc, and he's given out LBW. He decides to challenge the decision, but the review shows three reds, and Powell begins his trudge back to the pavilion. He departs for 5 off 5 balls.

Anukul Roy is the new batter, but the drama isn't over yet. Chameera delivers a brilliant piece of fielding, taking an absolute stunner on the boundary line! THE FLYING CHAMEERA HAS PULLED OFF A STUNNING SCREAMER! A truly spectacular effort to keep his team in the game.

And then, Andre Russell run out! Porel was lightning quick to remove the bails. Russell departs for 17 off 9 balls. It's a hat-trick moment, but this time, it's KKR's nightmare!

New batter Varun Chakravarthy takes the strike and ends the over with a single.
