Kolkata Knight Riders registered a comprehensive 59-run win over Delhi Capitals in Abu Dhabi on Saturday.

Opening batsman Nitish Rana (81 from 53 balls) and Sunil Narine (64 off 32) turned up the heat in the middle overs to propel Kolkata to 194-6.

Any hopes Delhi had of overhauling the target evaporated in the first few overs of the chase as Pat Cummins removed openers Ajinkya Rahane and Shikhar Dhawan.

Spinner Varun Chakravarthy then had a field day as he picked up five wickets for just 20 runs as Delhi were restricted to 135-9.
