After four seasons of at times embarrassing underachievement, Kolkata
Knight Riders will play for the IPL trophy on Sunday. For almost
two-thirds of the qualifier against Delhi Daredevils, they nearly blew
it, though the odds were stacked in their favour right from the start.
On a pitch where the first ball of spin turned sharply, Knight Riders
had three spinners waiting; Delhi Daredevils stuck to playing three
specialist fast bowlers.
Daredevils' strategy did not seem to have backfired when Knight Riders
lumbered to 106 for 4 in 16 overs. In the chase, despite losing Virender
Sehwag and David Warner in the first 13 balls, Daredevils were right in
the hunt at 83 for 2 after 10 overs.MORO IN CRICINFO
