Delhi Capitals faced a significant 106-run defeat against Kolkata Knight Riders in the 16th match of the IPL 2024 season in Vizag on Wednesday.

KKR won the toss and elected to bat first, a decision that proved fruitful as Sunil Narine (85) and Angkrish Raghuvanshi (54) built a strong partnership of 106 runs for the second wicket.

Angkrish Raghuvanshi made an impressive debut with a well-crafted fifty.

Andre Russell contributed a quickfire 41 off just 19 balls towards the end of the innings, helping KKR reach a formidable total of 272/7, the second-highest in IPL history.

Despite a challenging night for the DC bowlers, Anrich Nortje stood out with three wickets.

Rishabh Pant scored 55 runs and Tristan Stubbs also reached a half-century, but their performances were not enough to change the outcome.

Mitchell Starc, who had gone wicketless in his first two matches, finally demonstrated his worth with figures of 2/23.
