Delhi defeated Kolkata by 7 wickets as Prithvi Shaw dominated the KKR bowlers. For Kolkata, a lot of things are not working in its favour.
Riders' top-order is not working, the overseas combination has been an issue and the bowling plan in powerplay is still questionable.
As of now, KKR is under threat of failing to make it to play-offs for the third season in a row.
