It will be the left-arm seamer, Khaleel Ahmed to operate from the other end.

Rasikh Dar comes into the attack as the first change, with the keeper, Rishabh Pant, standing up to the stumps.

Looks like the ball is lost! The fourth umpire is on the field and there will be a change of ball.

Strategic break! Kolkata has exploded out of the gates, racing to a phenomenal start as both Phil Salt and Sunil Narine showcase their impeccable form, propelling the side to a staggering 79 runs by the conclusion of a mere six overs. It's been a whirlwind performance from this opening pair, leaving Delhi struggling to find their footing in the match. With the match slipping away, Delhi's hopes now hinge on their spin maestros conjuring up something truly magical to turn the tide in their favour. With that, Axar Patel is introduced into the attack.

Rinku Singh is promoted up the order and walks out to bat at number 3 for Kolkata.

It will be spin from both the ends as Kuldeep Yadav is introduced into the attack now.

The skipper, Shreyas Iyer walks out to bat at number 4 for Kolkata.

Venkatesh Iyer walks out to bat next for Kolkata.

Rasikh Dar (1-0-15-0) returns to the attack.

Strategic break! It has been a game to forget for Delhi, not only with the bat and ball but also in the field. It is about delaying the inevitable more than anything and not letting their NRR take a big hit. Phil Salt set the chase up for them perfectly, and it has since been a cruise for Kolkata. They will look to knock off the remaining 24 runs as quickly as possible.

Right then, that wraps up this encounter where Kolkata emerge victorious against Delhi, making sure they stay at that second position on the points table. Our attention now shifts to the upcoming clash, where Lucknow will play host to Mumbai at the illustrious Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium. The action will take place on Tuesday, 30th of April and will commence at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT), but the excitement begins long before that with extensive pre-match coverage. So, be sure to tune in early for all the anticipation and analysis. Until then, it's time to bid farewell with cheers!
